Hey guys! Im nick and i made this thread not only to share my progress with you but also to use as a personal portfolio on which i can look back to once my build is "done" but i doubt it ever will be fully complete to my liking. Ill be posting updates regularly.
So just to give you guys an idea, im 17, this is my first nice car that ive ever bought, ive been saving up for a long time for this! I bought it in may of 2015 and have been slowly but surely trying to make her better and better with a tight budget! So here it is, 02 gti 337, when i bought the car, the Po had put a turboback exhaust which sounds pretty good! A stage 2 unitronic tune as well as a neuspeed cold air intake. It was also on these audi wheels..
Over the summer as i tried to get my bank account back to normal, i managed to buy some coilovers
Before
After
Next came new wheels..
That was pretty much what i did to my car throughout the summer, oh and i forgot, i got a rear wiper delete plug, installed that and test drove the car with this new weight reduction. Lol
Next up i put in a new steering wheel that i got cheap off one of my friends, probably going to buy a nardi instead, i also put in an nrg short hub and quick release, as well as a 337 cluster since mine didnt come with it for some reason.
The same night i drove my car which decided to start pissing coolant all over my engine bay.. Turns out the heater hoses were old and cracked and they ended up ripping which cost me a tow truck
at the time i didnt have a lot if even barely any knowledge of how my car functionned so i didnt look into fixing it on the spot which i regret today.
So i just got the car towed to my house and that was when i decided to go balls deep and pull the motor and thats how i made up my mind of attempting to shave the bay.
I began to slowly take the car apart on my spare time when i wasnt working or at school...
More updates coming soon! Just didnt wanna post all of my progress in single post!
