well i thought i would join in and start a project thread of all the things i have done to my gti6. i have now owned it for just over a 1yr which is good for me.

couple of pictures when i bought it. it was already lowered about 30m all round ,which saved me a job

.

so then i thought about changing the exhaust system. so bought meself a magnex exhaust system



which then followed by the head gasket going, which was repaired, follwed by a few colour changes on the manifold and rocker covers
from this

to this


which then changed again to


here is couple of pictures of the head all off, which when i rushed putting it back together i made a mistake on re lining the camshaft. so it had to come off again and get rebuild. any way time for pics




i then decided to paint the calipers ,well i only done the rear at the moment, will try and do the front before fcs.





and here how it stands today, i have got different colour manifold again and rocker cover.i also bought some wind deflector which i think works a treat.so more pics again










sorry for the long update and pictures

comments all welcome

Done a fair bit of work to that. Good effort.

Kudos on having the patience to whip the head off and rebuild after your mistake.

well i received my lightened flywheel off (rich w) cheers mate. so i got to work today and fitted the flywheel and me new cluctch. wasnt a bad job to do over all . has made a difference with this new flywheel feels alot more response and accelration better to. here is couple of pictures i got.





is it reconmenad to have a lightend crank pulley now so it all balances out or should i stick with the standard one? any benifits to lightened pulley

comments and advice welcome

hi guys,am after some advice .my cambelt had started to shread it self and am not sure why,i have check the waterpump,idler,tensioners and all was ok.the only one i wasnt sure about was the crankshaft timing pinon ,so i have replaced this and fitted another new timing belt. here are couple of pictures to show you the belt







the bottom pulley is also new to
any comments welcome and advice.

yeah i managed to sort another ring gasket .hopefully will do the job.

well been back working on the car to and got a lot done, removed the old axle which wasnt a bad job to do on the floor. then make a start and clean the rust off and then treated it,after that was try i spray it black then. it is not 100% perfect spray like a bodyshop would be ,but it is loads better then it was.
once that was all dried i start to fit my new recon axle which went up easier than i thought, reconnected everything back that i could do before having to go and get some more parts.

new parts
rear axle
2 handbrake cables
new shocker bolt,washer and nut
paint
rust protector
brake fluid

hopefully should have the exhaust back on,brakes blead ,wheels on and a good road test

few pics of todays work

no i havent checked it yet,that something i have to do soon.

well finally got it all finshed today,and is it 100% better can chuck it into corners to. only thing need to do is make a bracket to secure the o/s/r brake pipe as it is only cabbled tie at the moment. the ride height has change on the back to 30mm now.









comments welcome

am not to sure to be honest,could that happen then if it was to tight?

Always wondered who owned this and now I know I will do my best not to hit it with my bus when I next go past it

I do like the green calipers

Normally see it parked up next to the Fiat place in Huntington. Been passing it for ages but keep forgetting to do an I Spy post

Found some very similar damage to my belt yesterday. One of the 6 m5 hex bolts that thread into the head had come adrift and wedged under a cam sprocket. Worth checking to see if they are still in place?
