My VW-log

[kristafari]

Ok here is my over-waited thread,

this is my baby, a lifetime's work, in progress:



She's a 54 plate Polo Basic (from what i can remember) 3 door.
To explain the blue wing mirrors, they are 9N3's bought from a write-off because my passenger side one had been knocked off in an overnight-drive-by, i also have a dent from this along the door/rear wing... bastard who did that, i will find you! basically just going to put up with the slightly chavy colour coding for a few years until i a decided on what colour she is going to be

I am intending to take as much time with 'Mod'. though this is way a head in the future lol but i am eventually having this converted; 1.8T or 2.0T simply because i am mentally ambitious, or just both.

Purchased & On:
-9N3 Rear clusters
-9N3 Wing Mirrors
-Armrest

Purchased & Awaiting fixture
-Full Votex kit
-16" Monty II's (will be temporary)
-LED Side repeaters (wire to be spliced to repeater & wing-mirror)
-Front Fog Lights

...erm cant remember anything else, though there is plenty to do

any opinions or ideas guys

Thanks,
Chris [:

why not buy some carbon fibre or black vinyl wrap to hide the blue until u decide to colour code it? just an idea anyway should be transformed when the votex and montys go on gd work

[sykesy123]

hope all goes well with your project,
a 9n with a 1.8t would just be scary good luck!

[kristafari]

Cheers guys,

im liking the ideas

I think the Monty's will have to be next tho, ive been hunting down tyre info from different places. Also im not too keen on the rear valance of the Votex for some reason.
May have to put that up in the Classifieds if someone's interested, its primed nd ready, never been used

I may be interested in the Votex rear valance in a few weeks. I regret that I ever sold my brand new (full) kit earlier this year. I need to hunt down the individual bits again.

IMO Montys are the best wheels for the 9n.

[kristafari]

@K.I.T.T No worries buddy let me know nearer the time.

@Dom. yeah they are pretty cool, not what i was hoping for originally, though most people on this site have had Monty's at some stage lol.
Im looking to get a set of 17" VW Interlagos once i have the money

[kristafari]

Ok im looking at getting a set of coilies next payday though ive seen a few brands around which is the best to get?
value for money and those with the best spec?

I will be taking my Eibach Pro Street coilovers off in the next couple of weeks, I am wanting £300 + delivery.

Only covered about 10k

Here is a link to them at Aswome.

[kristafari]

Wow, just checked the link wasnt expecting to see a price like that!
suppose its gonna have to be second hand ones, how much mileage are you expected to get out of them?

you're taking them off, and then going back to standard?

Here are some pics of her before i started tinkering, she is as basic as they come here. This was June ish the week after the LeMans 24 hour race went straight up to Leeds to a mates uni and from there t'lakes (as the locals say )
i'm most probably gonna be doing a yearly post of the same places with the progress logged each year.

I FOUND THE COLOUR I WANT!!

excuse the over excitedness lol but i was driving to college last week and i saw this turn in front of me from the adjacent traffic lights.

does anyone know what the paint code is for this?

[K.I.T.T.]

Olympic blue. Will try and get a paintcode - my best friend bought a Polo (after seeing mine ) in this colour. I'll ask him.

Ash

[kristafari]

are you sure its Olympic blue?
this one is like a dark metallic navy when the suns not on it

[kristafari]

Does anyone have any idea what these are called and the sizes they come in?
