The GTI! - Alex's Thread - Leather :D

[alexperkins]

Nah i just checked mine too. Mustve been scrapped in production

Nope. Took a while to work out how it works properly, but its a treat to use now

[emma_88]

Lazy driving if you ask me

[alexperkins]

Meh

Got to take dads GTI to MOT this morning...That car is like driving a new GTI its soooooo smooth and powerful. I wish mine had that new feel still

[6N2 GTI 00]

Yours must be just as quick though? yours has been mapped hasnt it?

What mileage is your dad's GTI on now then? I remember it was unbelivably low mileage when he got it

[alexperkins]

16100 lol still like new!

Oh it is, its just got the hesitant power feeling like it just wants to go all the time. Something older cars generally dont have so much over time

[6N2 GTI 00]

My god thats low, well thats an understatement really.
I would be too afraid to go anywhere in it with that mileage lol

That even makes Bradleys GTI seem like a high mileage example haha

Stop picking on me Ben lol.

Sounds good alex,id like to drive your beast or another GTI infact to see if they feel any different.

[alexperkins]

Haha indeed indeed

Got a small list of things to do over the winter this year, hopefully including getting the rx2s professionally refurbed, painting the calipers, and possibly getting the front end resprayed to get rid of a few small issues there are at present.

Other than that, just a few bits of work that need doing on the Mk3 to keep it up to scratch, but apart from that, all is currently well...though ive cursed it now so something is bound to go wrong!

After playing with my pedal, mine wants to go all the time now!!! It's so much more sensitive..

[6N2 GTI 00]

Sounds like some nice winter plans Alex, pretty much identical to what I have planned if i'm honest.
I want to get my RXII's centre's re-done, paint my calipers and get my front bumper, splitter & bonnet resprayed

Hopefully nothing will go wrong for you, mine is probably due a fault soon too

[alexperkins]

Haha fair play

Im definately gonna get the front end redone (bonnet and bumper maybe wings but not necessary at the moment)

Gonna take the calipers off in a few weeks and paint them up all nice and red

In other news, its spotless ready for players on Sunday now!

[6N2 GTI 00]

Good Stuff Alex

How much are you expecting it to cost you for the front end spray jobs?
I was thinking about £200 for the bonnet & front bumper

Ben,

[alexperkins]

It'll be a lot more than that. Bodywork has rocketed recently due to the cost of paint. More like 400

[6N2 GTI 00]

Gutted lol
Mine certainly needs doing next year, looks a little tatty at the minute with a few stone chips.

I hope Players is a good show dude, get plenty of pics

[Bradley]

Car looked good today matey,was good to meet you and have a laugh.
