Throttle cable was done Christmas day it was f*cked. I went to pull the cable out of the throttlebody and it snapped in my hand, good I changed it when I did



Thats how bad it got lol

[Matt]

Right really need to update this.

Since I changed the cable I have fitted a new door(after I broke the old one)
Im also making the exhaust quieter
Got a few plans

[Matt]

Winner. But even he says it loud! Thats why he sold it lol!!

Bargains are always win though!!

[devils_fuel]

Yeah very loud, we swapped vids and he was gutted as my dt sounds like an s1 rst with a stainless ...it cheesed him off more when he saw it with a ph2 bumper as it covered the tail pipe more

[hbomb1905]

[Matt]

[Foxy-jim]

[devils_fuel]

Strapped a fridge to the bonnet

cold drinks anyone?

[Matt]

Had some progress today

Refilled my bonnet
Changed my thermostat over, changed coolant
And replaced fuel filter

Pleased with myself today,

Pulls a little better with new filter on

Just need a new brown sensor to see if that fixes my fans issue.

To fit I have:

Gti Mani
Gti cat
New middle section
Nissens rad
Possible gti top hose
And then custom boot install.

Alot of this wont get fitted till spring though. As I need, exhaust fitting kit, gaskets, heat shields and bolts and all the little bits

All ands up lol

[Foxy-jim]

It does add up haha. Cant wait to see this soon!

[Curt]

Yeah you made some good progress today, we all did actually . Well when I say all, we both changed 'stats and other bits, Ed ground down a bit of metal and hit it with a hammer...

[Matt]

Haha although my stat wasn't the issue grrrrrr

Yes hahah ed:I might have made a flat spot.

Me:How could you make a flat spot you were using a dremmel?

Curt: I heard there was a hammer was used.

Me: ahhhh :face-palm:
