This is my 1.6 8v Carb MK1! This is absolutely my pride and joy!

The car has seen MANY mods indeed

 

When I got the car in August 2005, it was stock standard.

When I got it, it had a single light, small badge grille, that has been updated to a double light, big badge grille with some red striping...

 

I've installed some sound:
Pioneer DEH-2950MP head unit,
Two Pioneer 6"X 9",
Pioneer 5" mids and a set of
Pioneer tweeters
Kenwood 1000w SVC sub and a
Calibra 600w 4ch amp

 

I've also resprayed the bumpers and colorcoded the mirrors. With that, I fitted a Jetta 2 CLi front lip.. I love it

It's got a 50mm freeflow exhaust coupled with a Wildcat 4-2-1 branch (header)
A 268/272 split duration cam helps for some extra power
The standard induction has been modded to allow for some RAM air...

I fitted some VeloCiTi (Lupo GTi wheels abroad) wheels in January 2006!
This drastically changed the look of the car!!
The Velo wheels are going in for a respray this week (9Nov2007)

On the suspension side of things, an Eibach pro-kit found a new home on my car, and a front lower strutbrace betters the handling as well. The lower look, makes the car look much more aggressive, and gives it a sense of presence...

 

I also joined the VW CLub of SA. It is a place for the absolute VW fanatic. With many events and social outings, it sure is the best club to be a member of!

I still have to go and dyno the car now that I fitted the 268/272 split duration, but I am hoping for 80+ od hp and 120+ odd Nm of torque ON THE WHEELS

A CTi centre console, with the three guages installed, also found a home in my car...

 

This is where my rev counter sits, because my car didn't come standard with a rev guage fitted. (DIY guage pod)

 

For a bit of added appeal, I got 35% Smash and Grab tint...

The past two weeks have seen some slight changes on my car...
I "smoked" my front indicator lenses

I blacked out the B-pillars (the part between the front and rear doors)

I changed the rear end of the car a bit by spraying the part where the number plate is fitted black...

These are just two recent pics I took of my car

 

These pics were taken on Zwartkops Raceway, SA

 

Well, today i fitted some new seats in my cabbie. They are from an old VW Polo...

 

07 November 2007: Fitted a Citi.Com/Life steering wheel.
I really dig the OEM look of the new steering wheel!

 

UPCOMING MODS
-Lupo GTi wheels, in satin WHITE

Just recieved this pic from the place that are refurbing my wheels:

And today I got my set of wheels back from The WheelShop, and they look AWESOME on my car:

Today i modded my front bumper a bit...
Here is the pic how it looked this morning

Here is how it looks without the registration plate

And after a bit of aerosol paint and a lot of masking...

 

And with the registration plate back on again...

LATEST INDUCTION MOD:
I sourced a Fuel Injection aircleaner box from the trustworthy MP9 EFI golf models...and...well...I fitted the box
The car now has this deep burble sound under full throttle...AND SHE PULLS WAY BETTER!

No huge mods done lately, just removed the Bee sting aerial and got me a windscreen mounted indoor aerial...just to get that minimalistic look again

 

And changed the vwclub.co.za stickers to the blue version

I changed the red silicon reducer to a blue one...Looks good

The red grille surround...

And the updated blue grille surround...
