Hi are you looking at increasing the performance for your car mate? I've read on the MK2 OC site that you can bolt a GTi 8v head and cam on if your car is a 1.6 or above, all you need to do is fill in the injector holes in the head

not atm mate , its pritty nippy fir what it is anyway , plus its olny a 1.3

[bigpete]

lol nice cheap insurance group & no need to notify the dvla when you do an engine swap lol

[liamlovesvdubs]

cheap insurence group ??/are u pillin ma leg , i dont find £2100 cheap insurence lol

[bigpete]

lmao you need to get your insurance company sorted, I've paid less than that on BMWs & tuned jap crap when I was 18 & I'm only paying 1100 on a modified golf gti (I'm only 19 now)

[matt78 :)]

liam try getting a quote on insurance with your dad as a second driver may help get price down!!

[liamlovesvdubs]

that qas with ma old man on it , and im olny 18 pete , although that qas on go compare and others lol not tryed direct

[bigpete]

Try specialist young driver companies, I'm with admiral on a multi car atm, churchill insured my first car for 1200, Also a cheeky option is to see if you can get classic car insurance for your golf as it's 20 years old now

fitting the rear bumper hasent gone well

so last night i sorted out the bumper irons , made sure all the holes lined up which they did , gave it a coat of waxoyl and then sanded down the umper ready for painting today ,

brother came over today and we painted it and it went well ......


until i fitted the bumper iron back to the platic and tryed to fit it

i dident give enough time for the lacker to set so its all scuffed and for some reason now i carnt get any of the iron holes in line

so its off again , gona put the bumper in the shead for now until next week so i can sand it down and re-lacker again and then leave it 2-3 days mabie a week to dry , and in the mean time im gona sort out the bumper iron issue .


o well i gess its mistakes like these you learn from ay ;D

[matt78 :)]

hope you get it sorted soon bud

[liamlovesvdubs]

few things done over the past few weeks just couldnt e bothered to update lol ,

so i brought this


sanded it down and preped for painting




forgot to get a shot of it after primer lol

but after it looked like this





and this got some waxoyl


, then me being my impatent self went to put it ack togeather and on the car and scrapedall the lacker and a few patches of paint fell off , so need re-doing bad times


and then yesterday this happened



because this



was swaped for this





, a fellow mk2 driver form corby wa also getting a bumper from the same bloke was very nice and saved all the issuses with posting and what not, and for a small fee of a tenner , tuck up my small bumper and brought my new one back , what a legend .

got very wet fitting it tho, good times

. and a quick tip , bolts hurt when you drop them in your eye hahahaha

that is all !

for now
