Foobys ph2 GTi6 Project

8/7/10

Well, im feeling left out now, time to make my own project thread.. where um, not much will happen

Its a Phase 2 GTi6 (not a parts bin unfortunately)

Plans?: No idea, however all i know at the moment is that i am going to phase 3 it.

I have already fitted crystals and p3 side repeaters.

I have just got a bargin deal on some p3 diablo bits so im proper chuffed about that.

- P3 Bootlid,
- P3 Diablo fully colour coded Skirts
- also colour coded bump strips.
- P3 parcel shelf.
- Trying to also get the p3 fogs too, but there is a disagreement about ownership of those between myself and the person who brokered this deal (not nasty, i'm trying to claim ownership even though i never said i wanted them DD)


Car has already been lowered 20mm on the front on Eiabac springs.

Some pics after Scott very kindly detailed it for me making it very shiney.



















I'll get more pics once i've fitted some Phase 3 bits to it.

Just to add, thanks to Scotts awesome detailing my car looked lovely when it rained yesterday i took pics

Anyway update:

This happened on sunday night.



Massive thanks to Steveig who as well as taking shit off his neighbour was welding this bad boy back together at 1:30am.

Big thanks to you mate you got me home!



3/8/10

Well a brief update:

Phase 3 Bootlid has been fitted.
I have the clips and stuff for skirts but not been to dums to get it all fitted yet.

Stevieg has very kindly fixed my exhaust with epic amounts of weld hopefully it will last a little bit till it gets replaced.

He also replaced the clutch cable which has made it nicer, however it still slightly judders so i suspect early signs of needing a new clutch.

He also fixed my headlights pointing at the floor (since my failed install of changing adjusters over)

So big thanks to steveig and paddy who came down to fix my car over the weekend. Much fun was had


15/8/10

Well after the shenanigans of the camping meet and the defacing my car. It needed cleaning.

So, with the obligatory photo of scott.. He cleaned my car for me











15/12/10

Probably wont supercharge. Dont really know.


However, update. After a fun time at the christmas meet i arrived home and thought my car was a little louder than it should be.

Yesterday i inspected and found it to be blowing again (even with a replacement cat).

Its in the garage today and i got a pic of the problem... same as before:



Its gone in the same place.

So i suspect my juddering from the clutch is causing the engine to move and therefore the cat/exhaust and its vibrating/breaking itself.

Its also in for a cambelt+waterpump whilst its there as it needs doing in <1k anyway.

I told the guy to use Gates cambelt kit and hes going to use some geniune waterpump thing as well.

£390 all in for the welding and cambelt stuffs, joy. Just before christmas too

Fooby took another road trip to Cornwall this weekend, So gave his car a bit of a service up, as some aspects were very much in need!

Car in the Cornwall Coal building! :



Disks were worn to heck right around the car, so decided to replace all disks and pads right around...



Fooby "gettin-er-done"




Me, encouraging Fooby to "get-er-done" faster...




Up front







Ruan.....(enought said?)




Petrol thing parked over the coal pit




Then decided it was time to fix the annoying idle the car has, searchs around all the time, so thought it must be the renound ICV, so took that off, cleaned it up, idles perfect now!









Then decided this was a mess:



So gave it a clean up:






Oh, and fixed ruans meths tank to the floor as it moving around the boot all the time was frankly annoying...cambelt + self tappers ftw, 5 min mod, future proof

[Matt]

Meh it's a standard issue broken ph2 '6 :p

[Poodle]

I thought this had fallen off the road due to inappropriate footwear..?

[Kimmie]

I'd like to point out that when Fooby said Scott cleaned the car.....he spent 6 hours on it!

Crazy man

[Ed Doe]

@ Poodle, yes it's off the road at the moment. currently sharing my gran's drive with my '6 which is also in winter hibernation.

@ Kim; I've been on at Fooby for so long to learn to clean his own damn car that he's finally bought his own stuff and started taking an interest :p Last time we were at mine, he ACTUALLY washed it himself, with the 2bucket method, and a micro-mitt, and a whole load of autoglym stuff! Gotta teach him how to srp & wax it next!

Gotta teach him how man the f*ck up and fix the clutch next

fixed

[Ed Doe]

^^ BAAAHAHAHAHAHAaa

[Ruan]

All this car needs is a 2860RS.

Then it'll be win.

Or maybe if Fooby feels like splashing the cash, a Precision 6262...

[Fooby]

ill stick with a clutch for now

[Scott]

[stevieg]

[Curt]

Well this is at mine now... So got myself a phase 3 front end, boot lid, a working battery...

I'll make sure I start it everyday. On the redline.

[Fooby]

thanks curt,

make sure its -2 outside though so the oil is nice and thick

[Scott]

I forgot how good this was!

/modesty

[Fooby]

not so much that shiney, after my parking issues at curt's.

Video to follow once the person that filmed it puts it up

[stevieg]

naa gotta be 40 below oil turns like glue at those temps

[Scott]

Curt, why not undo the sump plug and run the hose through the filler cap, I'm sure the internals could do with a clean! Make sure you start it with your foot to the floor though.

[Ed Doe]

ROFL.

Tbh you could start with giving it a proper clean, rather than the pikey-clean Fooby gave it after covering it in mud

[Fooby]

not my fault curt cant properly maintain his land.

[Curt]

FYC you phase 2 owning, redlining chav of an off roading failure.

What we should have got footage of, was you shutting yourself in your window.

[Scott]

I nearly called you guys this morning to see what you were doing and to come down. So wish I had done now.

[Fooby]

FYC you phase 2 owning, redlining chav of an off roading failure.

ROTFL

my f*cking hair still hurts

[Scott]

Has Phil been taking more for ebay?

[Curt]

Nah, it was safe from Phil actually. He shut his own hair in the car window though, we laughed. Lots.

Yeah man you should have popped round, it wasn't for very long though.

[sam]

I like it chap really tidy doing much to it to keeping it pretty standered?

[Dum-Dum]

my fornicating hair still hurts

Muwhahaha, now i has his hair my voodoo doll is working

[stevieg]

FLOL dum

[Fooby]

I like it chap really tidy doing much to it to keeping it pretty standered?

Thanks , Its mostly staying standard. Going to change the clutch, but its going to stay standard

[Matt]

Just you wait foobs, while its at curts going to get the torsion bars out and have the belly on the floor
See how standard it is then lol

[Fooby]

you do realise, if you do that, i'll get stuck more?
