Mr Blobby's Progress Thread

[neilGTI]

I love being old, i am 30 and my insurance is £300 a year with all mods declared (wheels, coilovers, induction kit, exhaust, show cage, differnt colour roof, etc)

Yours doesnt sound that bad for your age though to be fair.

[neilGTI]

I want it to be flush too, but the button hits on stuff behind the dash so thats the best i could do and there wasnt anywhere else that had a flat surface to put it in All things considered though i think its not bad at all

I reckon it would be cool in place of the cigarette lighter in the ashtray, totally hidden when the ashtray cover is closed, kind of like a secret mod

That would be cool didnt think about that, but its probably a bit too late for that now lol

[neilGTI]

It would only be a few quid for a replacement blank :p

[Mr Blobby]

True but im not sure if i can be bothered to to all that work again... It was hectic!

[neilGTI]

Lol, i know how you feel, i had to take most of the dash off to fit the short shift kit i had

[Mr Blobby]

That reminds be. Where do people get their short shifters from? Because I can't seem to find any to fit my car and I really want one.

[neilGTI]

They are rare as rocking horse s**t mate, took me a month to get mine after i ordered it and it wasnt cheap either

B&M short shift kit, item B&M 45106

I not long sold mine as well as I took it off when i was having trouble with the car but it turned out the gear box was fitted with wrong parts

[Mr Blobby]

Ahh that sucks I really want one... Is it actually worth getting then?

[Mr Blobby]

Woooop Nice big update for y'alll! Ive got my coilovers and they look awesome!
They will hopefully be going on this weekend





And I have had my exhaust custom made to a hidden fit one as I couldnt lower my car with the other one (The back box was retartedly big...) But this one sounds soooo sweet and im so happy with it Only cost £150 aswell

[Trottagti]

Coilovers look amazing, adjustable top mount aswell??

Hidden looks awesome aswell, bigger box than mine but still amazing....

Getting there matey...

[Endi_GTI]

Looking epic dude I really need to up rate my exhaust but i really don't know what to get. Im reasonably low but don't know wether to go hidden, or get a Jetex system and cut the bumper. i do like the look of twin pipes. Is this a Powerflow hidden job mate? How does it sound?

Cheers, Matt

Nice Update Mate Those coilovers look very nice indeed.

How much did those bad boys set you back?

If your gears are loose at the gearstick and you want faster gear changes then yes.

Since i have had the new gearbox fitted, they have adjusted all the gears so it feels like a brand new car again

[6N2 GTI 00]

Was it the gearbox from 1st gear transmissions that went wrong Neil or is that the box you have in there now?
