What's your plans for your car(s) in 2005?

Post by bstardchild »

Thought I'd start this one off....... :lol:

I'll keep to the Polo tho :wink:

Change the Lambda Sensor asap - needs one - bought one - just need to fit

Finish the dash centre section swap and refit the new tunes

Bit of paintwork required - nothing major - just a couple of rust spots need attending to and the damage on the passenger door where the low life broke in to thieve my stereo.

Flush fit my MKV rear lights :oops:

Desparately needs a Front Anti Roll Bar Kit

I'd like to find a GTi Leather Interior for it (3 Door one :roll: )

AEX Ecu still required so I can work on the maps

Head from spare engine is now off so a skim and a bit of porting is a distinct posibility

And for me I'd like to get to a "Polo Show" - A weekend camping at Billing with a a few beers in the evening and a BBQ would be right up my street :lol:

The mk2;

Webber carb and spare inlet manifold from the 1.4 (if its bigger)

Fit the ranger alloys that came off my GT (dealer optional extra for the ranger as well as the GT hatch) just to make the spec that little bit higher :D - They need the right tyres though

Sort the rust out on the rear arches before it gets any worse. Something to keep me busy over the summer methinks.

the mk3;

Get deecent exhaust put on (next week hopefully)

Get G40 brakes put on (have had the kit for 12 months but never fitted)

Get it lowered

Get more than 100bhp on the rollers

Get it Cleaned - it bloody needs one!

Where to start?
  • - Must get the car lowered some
    - B&M shortshift kit
    - Custom 'zorst would be nice
    - Refurbish the BBS alloys
    - New rear tyres
    - Tints by "tinter"
    - Sunglasses holder to replace driver's side grab handle
    - I still have those black side repeaters sat here on my desk...
    - ... And finally, as always I'm toying with the idea of swapping out my rear lights...
My plans will probably be scuppered by my Mum's insistence that I save some money instead of "wasting it", so the only mods that are likely to be completed by this time 2006 will be the tyres the tints and the B&M... watch this space!

Hmm.. long list.

The boring bits:
* Fix dashboard clocks, get rid of blinding main beam LED, fit circuitry with a brake warning light instead of the golf mk1 stuff without one
* Get weber carb properly sorted so it gives me over 29mpg..
* Replace front shocks.. might consider lowering at the same time, probably not though for insurance reasons :(
* New tyres
* New exhaust centre box to get rid of irritating rattle
* New alternator
* Odd bits of paintwork
* Replace screwdrivered door lock :evil:
* MoT :shock:

The interesting bits:
* Mk1 GTi alloys
* Mk3 dashboard, possibly bumpers
* GT/Ranger/Coupe S seats to replace the bodged up golf gti ones
* Induction kit, perhaps..
* Fit mk2 golf GTi vented brakes at last - the fade on the standard ones is scaring me now.
* Odd little interior bits, lighting etc.
* CD changer courtesy of GaryUK :)

Just have to see how much money I've got to do that lot.. it's all been on the waiting list for quite a while, just need to get around to doing it all.

My plans for 2005 are:

- Tinted windows.
- Cubby box.
- Possibly lowered abit.
- Votex kit.

If I get at least one of those things done this year I will be well pleased.

GaryUK - if you're wanting tints done, and I'm wanting tints done, and dubpolo and his Dad are wanting tints done - maybe we should organise something :idea:
