[GetAwayFromMe]

I love your car man!!!! The 20th looks so good in stock form and Ficken sie ricers sticker if effin awesome

[berserker]

Ehe I love this car.

[dub1.8t]

Sweet lookin car man! Need to lose the plate holders though.:tu:

[stollen]

You need a shorter antenna, I don't think you can fit under overpasses right now.... :D

[twooly]

I love the yellow they use, wife and I saw a Fahrenheit GLI at the dealership. :tu:

[DSV]

The car looks awesome Anthony. :tu: Glad to see you are putting that .eps file to good use :D

[OrangeDUB]

Dude I am jealous!! :D

You'll love the smoked markers compared to your stockers. With my orange color the amber marker looked so off beat.

Have you got your hands dirty under the hood at all yet?

[anchovi777]

well i finally got my tails!! ive had em on for a couple days but didnt have a chance to take any pics... but here they are!!

[fahrenheit201]

sweeeeet!! :tu:

[SirRangeALot]

:drool: :drool: :drool:

[DSV]

the new tails look good. :tu:

[anchovi777]

i love em wanted to do something different besides the blacked out ones. it was kinda fun putting the drivers side on in, you have to take the amp and bracket out and go through a lil hole to get one of the nuts off.. good thing the nut had some stickyness to it or im sure i woulda dropped it inside the fender..hehe.

[Tony!]

Those are the best tails for a GTI EVER!!! Seriously awesome and excellent choice!

Any plans for a black front grill? A flat black to match the lower grill vents would look pretty sweet...

[berserker]

And you wanted all smoked hellas. TOLD YOU.

[sam]

:hoff: Car's looking pretty BA! I really like those tails and the vinyl too!

[SDKmann]

Nice tails dude, so are you finally gonna tell me what else you got for it?

[OrangeDUB]

The new tails look sick Anthony! :tu:

[Saab900CE]

Looks great Anthony! Lots better IMO.


Nice tails dude, so are you finally gonna tell me what else you got for it?

I know what else he got but I'll never tell. MUHAHAHAHAHA :twisted:

[OrangeDUB]

I know what else he got but I'll never tell. MUHAHAHAHAHA :twisted:

x2 :laugh:

[anchovi777]

thanks everyone! im really happy with how they look! now i cant wait to move on to the next thing..!!! oh and gary did you note the shorty antenna! no more hittin overpasses!

[stollen]

oh and gary did you note the shorty antenna! no more hittin overpasses!

:yippee:

Those tails do look good man! After helping with Abby's I am pretty sure I am content with what I have though, too much of an annoyance to change :D

[chuNknorris]

mmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[SirRangeALot]

did you note the shorty antenna! no more hittin overpasses!

:laugh: :laugh: I think that was the first mod I did when I bought my car two years ago... :sly:

[Saab900CE]

OMG WTF THREAD UPDATE!!!

Okay well I have some spy photos (because I was the one that was helping with all of it) and I told Anthony that everyone finally needed to see this awesome stuff. I'm not sure about what brands and all that stuff is that he has put on so hopefully he will fill you in on the whole list of mods.

sooooooo.... without futher stalling.

HERE ARE PHOTOS!!!

This is of today lowering it. We did a bunch of other stuff on it too but most were not photographed. I might put some photos of the whole timing belt and water pump job too here in a bit but for now this is all I have uploaded.

in order to remove the factory front passanger side strut we had to use that big pipe and my air hammer just to get that darn thing out. Oh and yes air hammers are loud.

[turboA4]

[stollen]

:eek: Air hammer and pipe to get the passenger side strut out? I have had to unbolt the passenger side subframe to get that sucker out before, but haven't had to resort to that drastic of measures :D

Looks good Anthony :tu:

[Kelso]

:tu: looks great!
Since im about to do my timing belt myself I would love to see the pics of that!

[sic_A4]

Looks great Anthony!

[dudepal]

so if this thing is road worthy id really like to see it in person. you and jordan should head to cr this wkend in that beast

[anchovi777]

DAMN PAPARAZZI!! LOL. oh well everyone was gonna see it sooner or later, so yeah finally got it out and put some more shit on her. ill get her all cleaned up and get some clean pics and my updated mod list up... before 2010 casey.. roflcopters..

and yeah gary we where hopin we didnt have to go to drastic measures to get it out, so pipe and air hammer it was, it wasnt that bad actually just a little stuck. :D

and kai yeah ive got a few water pump pics.. it was a pain in our ass, but i know a lot of lil short cuts, tip and tricks now. but ill get them up too!

[Kelso]

Yeah I was thinkin about undoing the subframe a bit or even taking off the lower control arm but the strut only needed to go about 1/2in. or so before it was out. So we used brute force and got it out just fine.


:tu: looks great!
Since im about to do my timing belt myself I would love to see the pics of that!

Yeah since it was a tight space to work with I dunno how many useful pictures I've got of doing the timing belt but I'll see what I can find. Doing it wasn't really that bad (second timing belt I've done now) just some PITA parts here and there. If you ever need help doing it, you know where to find me.

Don't worry guys I'll keep a fire under Anthony's ass to keep this thing updated and whatnot.

[anchovi777]

ok! here we go! PICSSSS!

a couple water pump pics nothing really that useful step by step kinda thing, unless jordan has some other ones somewhere..

Cody proceeded to fist the tail pipe and then take a pic of Chovi waterfalling a beer out of it.

The fit and finish of the 42dd 3 inch exhaust was amazing. Dare I say the weld's looked as good as my Milltek for a fraction of the price, and the sound...


... you have to hear it for yourself. The only real problem was that the bolt holes on the flange's were a little close to the piping. No big deal, Andy eventually kicked it's ass. As far as the APR tune goes, I'll just say that it really has it's day in the sunshine when combined with a 6 speed tranny. The car looked and sounded amazing. Wheel spin through 1st and 2nd and then a chirp into 3rd. We didn't get any pic's after dropping it some more but that's okay. It looks like it's on bags. :hump: all four wheels are tucked. This was fun and I hope to do it again soon. We need more fat tire cans, stat.

I had no idea Fat Tire or anything New Belgium makes came in cans. Sweet, now they just need to make that 12pk a 24pk.

[The_Auto_Tech]

saw your car in finnins shop. Getting tires on?

4 tires and alignment. Old tires were racing slicks. :) Wait until you see the pictures of how close it was getting it onto the alignment rack, even with the extended ramps. Unfortunately though Anthony didn't win worst alignment. Kaleb is still holding that record. lol

[GingerH8r]
