Swapping the door handle is a right pain, mine snapped on the HDi a few years ago when i was in the petrol station with the pass side against the pump... fail.

lightweight dog for lightweight car lol

[Matt]

My shit weighs 51.15kg

[Scott]

Is that 51.15kg from the start?

[samass]

I think if I had a wank right now it'd weigh about 51.15kg....

[Curt]

Is that 51.15kg from the start?

This is what I'm wondering...

[Poodle]

No, that's another 51kg, already had ~90 out in the last post like this i think.

[Dum-Dum]

Nope

No, that's another 51kg, already had ~90 out in the last post like this i think.

Correct


IIRC it was 87kg on the last load i put up so its almost 140kg off in total. (and i forgot to weigh the aircon rad and pipes)

I just need time and not insignificant amount of money to make it any lighter. Tempted by a smaller battery to relocate and need to strip down looms then its lightened engine bits, fiberglass pannels and i could probably shed another 10kg with a pair of proper fixed buckets.

Might stick her on the weighbridge at some point this week and see what it says.

[Dum-Dum]

So washed the car today, decided after playing with some black tape (that wouldnt stick very well) that im gonna paint a 1" strip pf the rear window edges to make them look more OEM.

Also over the last few days smoothed and painted my bonnet.

I cut the backing to the badge off then epoxyed in some bits of ally strip and box section so that I didnt need too much fiberglass. I then filled with fiberglass till just below the level of the bodywork and packed it in front and back so I only need a thin skim of filler

Then fillered, sanded, fillered, sanded, fillered, sanded, fillered, sanded and wet and dryed it to shape.

   

Then about 8 coats of primer and it was wet and dryed back and re masked then about 6 or 7 layers of top coat and thats how we stand.

The paint match is terrible, the paint i have is ph2 bianca and was a great match on my door handles but its miles out on the bonnet that is lighter and whiter being a ph3 item.

This picture dosent show how bad it is.

   



Anyway heres how she stands, need to finish repairing my fiberglass grille and paint it.
Oh and note the GTi badges have fallen off the sides cos i didnt like them without the 6s

   


Just need to wait for it to harden and its a week till im next off so then i'll go over it with the rubbing compound and try my best to blend it in. (dosent look too bad from a distance though)

[Curt]

Surely filling holes goes against your ethos?! Now you're going to have to remove a wheel







Looks good, will look so much better with black around the windows.

[Matt]

Gunna be nose heavy....

Although you can actually see te difference in paint from the whole bonnet compared to the wing. But only of you look hard lol

[strictly_perv]

White seems to be a hard colour to match, 205's use different shades of white under the same name which is a pain.
Will you be joining me in the 50 shades of white team now?

Yeah it is a little but buying a new badge when im eventually gonna have a smoothed lightweight fiberglass bonnet when ive got the money to go with the fiberglass grille thats in my garage. So its a temporary measure.

Cheers for the compliment though mate.

Yeah the bonnet is a terrible match cos its ph3 bianca not ph2. and yes nose heavy mate, esp when i get the saxo pump on.

Yeah theres at least 4 shades of bianca on mine if not more.

[Dum-Dum]

Just had a ninja late night delivery of oily bits to play with from The Thorne - Cheers Callum

Also shouldn't of gone to Scotts earlier. Spent more money that I dont have on shinys off the car hes breaking mainly to make mine look prettier.

My Little Slag Bianca is gonna be looking and sounding incredible for the Christmas meet.

[Curt]

What've you bought then...?

[Scott]

Curt on a completely unrelated note I've just noticed that the right hand side image of your car in your sig has been flipped (I'm guessing so the background seems to match more) but now that means the exhaust is on the wrong side!

[Curt]

Yes you are correct, it's so it works better... You're not supposed to point that out though

I should have done it with the picture of the front, but I thought of it after and couldn't be bothered

[samass]

Scott you anus....

[Niall]

Bodgetacula!

[Fozzy]

you using stock ecu? with all the original sensors like yani on the 6 forum?

If you want more info Maz who was asking about 106 rallye manifold for his 1.6 306 did the yani conversion on his old gti, it sounded epic but it didnt make much difference.

[sam]

[Jonny b]

These^^

It will sound porno though!

[C.A.R.]

That was a smart work-around the guy on the 6 forum did with his Xsara VTS (?) I think it was.

Going to sound incredible

[Niall]

TBH i cant see many power gains without getting it mapped. Once again, this will fail and i have no faith in your abilities to make this work.
