SickMk3GTi's Build

[STÖDER]

the gti is going down for the winter.... to get a rebuild on the motor and a head swap and new paint.

i was thinking platinum grey or indigo blue not sure yet

[STÖDER]

if ne one finds nething on a 20v head swap (1.8t) or a 16v head swap (vr6) let me know

ps. forgot for a 2.0l aba obd2

[OrangeDUB]

if you do the vr6 swap you should DEFINITELY go for the 24v, not the 12v (VW never made a 16v vr6, not sure if I misinterpreted what you wrote or not..)

swaps are the shizz :D

[SirRangeALot]

i was thinking platinum grey or indigo blue not sure yet

I say you should go with florescent pink. Chicks dig florescent pink.

I kid, I kid. :D

What the hell are you talking about? You think you are going to put a 1.8T or VR6 head on your 2.0? Or are you talking engine, harness, ecu, etc? Why are you blowing money before suspension, I guess you don't take advice too well. :td:

Actually, I've also read about doing 16v or 20v head swaps on ABA 2.0L motors so his question was valid.

well, if that is the case, then he's still wrong about the VR6 head.

Vr6 would be a 12v and it's made for a motor with a couple too many cylinders for your 2.0.


I would lower it and get a turbo kit for the aba.

[CHARLATAN]

Why the repaint? Thought the white pearl looked good? Could money be spent elsewhere instead, or was the paint job bad?

[STÖDER]

first i meant 16v 2.0 head srry guys for the missunderstanding and as far as paint yes was bad and suspension i am buying it soon jesus christ ppl snap way too much calm down

[Newman]

How exactly do you confuse the 16v with a VR6 again?

[STÖDER]

it was just a mistake damn!!

[Newman]

Well apparently you don't know that the elitists here at PKG don't accept mistakes...

[STÖDER]

well im srry what the hell is wrong with ppl on here first iadubber is bitchin about like everything about PKG and ppl are getting mad at me for not doing suspension first well i am this is future and i dont even know you

[Newman]

and i dont even know you

And let's keep it that way. ;)

[S13FREEAAK]

You two need to have a :beer:

[dub1.8t]

:bandit:
This smiley reminds me of a room mate I had one time.

Just trying to change the subject.

[STÖDER]

dude wtf is wrong this place used to be tight now its turning into a mess everybody else is cool just the ones complaining should be banned

[chuNknorris]

Dont listen to that guy, hes probably on the verge of being perm banned anyways. Your gti is sweet, and lowering it takes time when cash flow isnt available. Id rock your car even if it is a 2.0!

[STÖDER]

thanks a lot

[SirRangeALot]

*SIGH* :rolleyes:

sickmk3, I'm looking forward to see how your car will turn out. :tu:

[STÖDER]

so i have decided to swap

vr6 engine


need info and if people could help with the swap that would be awesome

[iadubber]

Contact Mike (kleinergti1) or Ben (bwolfgti) for a swap. They should have everything you need. :tu:

[justin]

contact 28 on here.

He should have damn near everything to do an obd2 vr swap, since I just sold it to him.

[CHARLATAN]

Why repaint? The pearl white looks good. Why waste the money when the paint isn't even a year old or so? Put the money towards something else...interior, engine, etc. Just my thoughts.

[STÖDER]

i am two toning it the bottom is going to go black and a red pin stripe to seperate the wheel wells are starting to get surface rust cheap paint job

Well that explains it. :)

[iadubber]

yeah, do it right this time :tu:

[STÖDER]

for sure

[STÖDER]

well the winter modding begins

-stock wheels are back on with brand new tires
-ordered new mounts should be in soon
-just bought crown's vr lip " " "


not sure what to do next thinking of buying some springs not too low just to get rid of some wheel space and not to hit the snow banks

[SDKmann]

Good stuff. I think you should consider tradeing your summer wheels in for a nice set of 5 spokes. Your stockers look pretty good so I can only imagine what a nice set of 5 spokes would look like.

[SirRangeALot]

Man, I wish MY suspension was that cheap in price... :laugh:

[STÖDER]

so i am selling my summer wheels
they are in like brand new condition
maybe 2.5 months old
i am shooting for 650 obo with tires(95% thread)

[Black86gti]

if your still thinking about doing a head swap i would vote 16v head. you can pick up a complete 16v for about 400 bux and then you would have all the parts needed to swap the head. plus you can run C2 awsome 42# injector software. this will let you reach your HP goals with out breaking the bank

[STÖDER]

motor mounts came in yesterday

the exhaust is 2.5" not 2.25" oh well im not complaining

but it seems like the mounts on the exhaust are different from the ones that was on my magnaflow exhaust before

[07GTI]

[SDKmann]

Sounds like we're doing a instal day GTG on the 15th.

[OrangeDUB]

Have you trimmed your bumper yet? You need to shave off about 1/4 inch of plastic all the way around the small lip on the bottom of your bumper.

If you HAVE trimmed the bumper already, you just need to stretch the lip around the bumper more and push on it harder. Check from the back side and see where the tabs are going. One of them may be hitting something. It fit on CROWN's car fine and I was there to help him install it, so it should fit your car.

[Dubjetta///]

take a razor blade around the bottom strip of the..... you know what, lemme find the link......dad aadaadadaaddad adadad adadd ad adadadadada


...... ah, here it is!

http://www.gti-vr6.net/library/body_exterior/Euro_spoiler/euro_spoiler_fit_01.jpg


and the text.....

"You will also need to trim about 1/4" - 3/8" off of the front edge of the lower bumper's lip, to allow the spoiler to sit closer to the bumper. The trimming will allow the tabs to snap in more securely, as well as allow the side tabs to be seated further back."

Looks sick! That was a good buy, that changes things a lot. But what's all this I hear about eibach? H&R FTW! Oh, Ive also decided that your car should have Borbet Type As, they are sweet.

[STÖDER]

thanks alot what do u mean eibach



ohh and heres the exhaust

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h259/GTiUp07/DSC00102.jpg

[bA4]

lookin good, keep up the good work.

[SDKmann]

Chovi said you were looking into Eibach springs, you gotta go H&R dude! Exhaust looks good too, I cant wait to hear that.

[STÖDER]

Im just lookin for a cheap way to lower my car, but the exhaust sounds amazing

[OrangeDUB]

Nice! I will need a cat back exhaust. What did you go with again? And how's the sound? Is it very loud all the time or just when you get on it?

EDIT: yeah you went with magnaflow... is it the actual magnaflow system or is it like techtonics with a magnaflow muffler?

[SirRangeALot]

Chovi said you were looking into Eibach springs, you gotta go H&R dude!

I agree. :tu:

[SDKmann]

I need to hear it, I can only imagine what it sounds like now, it sounded pretty good before. Cheap isnt always the way to go, save up and buy H&R, the price isnt that different. Buy it right, buy it once. Thats a good policy to follow, you will be much happier if you get the good stuff right off the bat.

[SirRangeALot]

Another oldie but a goodie -- you get what you pay for. :tu:

[STÖDER]

its a autotech exhaust which is a child of magnaflow with a magnaflow muffler and its very mellow at idle and gets really nice when you get on it. as far as the suspension gos i will prolly go h&R coilovers

[STÖDER]

i cant get over the fact how much that vr lip changed the look of the whole car and the exhaust the same way

[SirRangeALot]

[STÖDER]

thanks a lot you guys for the support

[pollpegj]

Talk to 28 I helped him do a vr6 into a mk3, it was so easy, literally plug and play. But we did have a donor car, five lug swap and everything. You can take a look at the build on that "other" forum. Its a golf CL that originally had a 1.8 from mexico. We are currently building a new motor for it with a big valve head and all the fixings. I would be sure to get a hold of 28 for parts though, he has a insane amount of VW parts.

[STÖDER]

so i got my car fixed

had to take it to screwjacks but hey at least its done

ended up being horrible spark plugs and the engine was sludged

so they did a full engine wash and spark plugs and a new oil change

426 dollars later my car runs like a champ

[07GTI]

congrats on getting it fixed :tu:

[STÖDER]

thanks a lot

[MurA1]

DID you get springs yet? I might have a lead on somethign for you. Shoot me a PM and I will tell you about it.
