My gti 337 build thread

i think the problem i would have is either i would give up half way through or not be able to put it back together LOL

Lol for sure but im just really motivated and i cant wait to see it finished too so it pushes me to work everyday! I took tons of pictires too incase i cant remember something when im putting it back together!
 
Update! The raintray is now out!

i had noticed one of the po's had messed up the radio wiring pretty bad, turns out that wasnt the only wiring he had messed with..

LOL straight out of the turbo.....must sound TDI as fuck hahaha

Great progress hoping to see the car at EuroKracy
 
LOL my straight pipe 1.8T sounds TDI when its cold and that fucking secondary air pump is running i HATE it
 
That harness give me chillz , cant watch a full harness for too long before throwing up . But nice work on the mount polish revealing the quality coming
 
i worked some more on the harness for inside the car, looks alot less messy now but im still not done.

this project is getting lonngggg cant wait to see the final product though!
 
LOL my straight pipe 1.8T sounds TDI when its cold and that fucking secondary air pump is running i HATE it

to be honest my daily surprisingly sounds pretty similar to my gti which is straight 3" except its not the same sound quality of course lol the broke downpipe sound makes me wanna throw up haha
 
update!

i cleaned up and sprayed my wheel wells with gravel guard, im pretty satisfied with the results

its starting to look like something!
 
Nice progress. I'm excited to see what the finished product will be like. Btw what does a broken downpipe sound like? Lol
 
Nice suspension ;)
loll dont tell me about it ahah i was about to bag it but then my daily broke and i had to buy my new one so that explains it :(

a broke downpipe just sounds like im driving a peterbilt instead of a 1.8t lol its way too loud and sounds like crap
 
so i pretty much finished up my wiring for inside the car, i got that back in aswell as the heater, dash bar and steering column.

more updates to come!
 
im back after a while of not posting, so i didnt make it for eurokracy, lol. the project is slowly but surely getting done. i really havent been putting much time into it in the past weeks. in part because i bought a 240sx but also because i lost motivation since i didnt make it for eurokracy. i hope to have it done before the end of the summer.

heres a little progress:
