Humm,


But fitting that GTI splitter in the front bumper was a hard thing to do or was it easy - plug and play?

I was thinking of getting a ibiza splitter ( which requires a little modification) but the GTI would look better.

I haven't got a GTI frontlip, a m8 of mine has, don't know if it's hard to install, but I recon it aint that hard, since it's an original Polo mk4 part :wink:


UP-DATE

Last saturday I went to a m8 of mine, who's a car mechanic, and drives this mk4:

Image

Jep, that's a 1.8 20v Turbo from a Adui TT in there 8) good for a "lousy" 255 bhp :twisted:

Image

And he's got a TT interior (dash and front and rear seats).

But for the up-date, he helped me out with the timing-belt (changed it) and all the other crap that's on that side, plus we put in my new camshaft from the Polo GT.
Power and torque have improve substantially noticeble! :shock:

Here some pics:

On the bridge:
Image

Pop that hood!:
Image

Gettin' some work done:
Image

Old camshaft out:
Image

Old cam to the left, GT cam to the right:
Image

GT cam in:
Image

Me timing the bloody bastard, also had to completely adjust the ignition timing :evil: :
Image

And after closing everything up again:
Image

The test-drive was "a lot of fun", more power noticible @ every rpm, but after 4000 rpm it really gives a good kick, sounds a bit more "rouring" too :twisted:

Here's my brandnew exhaustmanifold, in the box the mailman gave me, together with the Supersprint cat-replacing muffler, ready and waiting for my trip to my "exhaustman" :roll:

And here's the inletmanifold with the flowed throttle body and injectorhousing, today I gave a start in overhauling it and assembling it, need to buy some parts tomorrow after work, hopefully will have it assembled before end of next week.

And sandpapered a lot of interior crap today, I'll try to make some pictures tomorrow :wink:

Thnx for the comments!

Got a new up-date,

First the mailman brought me a package from Germany this morning! :D

Image

Here's what was in it:
Image

11 chromed screws for the sidepanels for under the hood, and a chromed cap for the tank which contains the fluid for washing the windows. I sprayed the tank itself balck maigc metallic (original VW color :) ), will try to get some pics of this tomorrow.

And this weekend I finally got around to install me doorpanels back in:
Sprayed the handels and handels for the windows the same black magic metallic color, just like some more interior parts:
Image

Fitted the tweeters from my JBL composet in the doorpanels and sprayed the holders for the tweeters also in the black magic metallic color :wink: (it's all gonna be black magic metallic on the inside :D )

Image

Also moved the filter from the composet into the door inself:
Image

And here's my new centre console:
Image

Of course I'm gonna spary it in......black magic metallic 8) :lol:

But first, since I don't smoke, and never let anybody smoke in my car, I decided to "clean away" the cigaret lighter and ashtray, so I melted it all to the centre console:

Image
Image

And started to fill up the little openings that were left, to get a smooth result after spraying it:
Image

Already worked a lot on smoothing the lower console, it's gonna be black magic metallic too! :lol:
Image

I smoothed al those nasty little lines and the parts where you can stick in coins/cash, now it's almost completely smooth, just needs some little more work before I can start spraying it 8) :
Image

Hope to get it both sprayed asap! :D
