It has been a very busy day with the GTI! First of all the MOT failing this morning..Looks quite nasty, but im sure good old Alex can fix it
Took it down to a local garage to undo the bolts on the wishbone as they were over tightened previously.
I've spent the afternoon cleaning bits and pieces
So far:
A good vacuum
Carboned the rear badge
'Get a life, get a VW' sticker
Added new mats
10" Edge Sub (From my Polo)
BMC Air Filter
Have a tow hook cover on the way for the rear
Have driven it to and from the MOT, and i was blown away with the acceleration and power..It is truly insane!
Sneaky pic in the MOT:
Tonights plan is to swap the bearing over, use a hydraulic press to make sure it's tight, then refit it back to the car. Fingers crossed it all goes to plan, and then it can be retested tomorrow and i can finally drive it!
