F17 BAD, Black OEM+ Golf mk3 GTI - MTM'd - S3 POWERED!!!!!!

Nice

 

That is stunning mate, and I hate Mk3's!

 

cheers, thanks a lot

 

Had a slight issue the other night with the rear brakes..

Hit a bump in the road at 40mph and the rear brakes locked up, handbrake was jammed on, drivers side rear disc was glowing orange like a Le Mans 24HR car with loads of nasty smelling smoke to boot!

Morning after i investigated to find this



Spot the problem....



Also the crap guard that sits on the hub was like this



The reason??? Well the bolts which hold the calliper on the hub were gone!!!! No damage, no fecked threrads, just complete gone as tho they had been removed; now i know these were super tight as i hammered them on a few month back...They are the 2 Allen key bolts.


I also had a overheated problem due to a frozen RAD on the night we had a -12 temp... this was the nail in the coffin for my already leaking radiator....cracked...big time


So I fitted a new one, no pics of the new on but here is the car in prep for removal of old unit, we managed to remove/replace with the slam panel in situ which was a bonus, refilled the system with 50/50 mix of VW G12 Plus, and fitted a new heater resistor as my old one was starting to go bad..




car heater/coolant system runs like a charm as do the breaks, we were lucky enough not to have warped a disc, one of the pads was destroyed so we changed those out for a new set


Last thing done was wiring in my puddle lights in my doors, this is a cool mod

trip to the car grave yard to find a MK4...



and here they are, these are lit, bright so hard to get a decent pic but you get the idea, basically just like on a mk4 gti



next up should hopefully be BAM engine time in a month or so

 

Here is a few pics from today

iv lowered the car more, put the porsche wheels back on, and even tho my arches are modified, iv had them modified some more to get the car as low as i wanted it to be without no rubbing what so ever

iv also machine polished the whole lot myself

Machine polished with my new dodo jusic espin doctor



full pic of it after i had corrected the paint work (still on winter rims here)




Pics from today, Porsche rims back on

 

That looks naughty! Some nice little touches gone into it as well

 

cheers mate, itching now to get on with my conversion, car coming off road latest MAY

 

I really, really love this car! and those are possibly my fave wheels in the whole world, ever!

Stupidly stunning!

20vt would finish it off just lovely

 

Aww thanks alot for this comment - and my thoughts exactly

 

lovely car
can i ask what mm spacers you are running with the D90s

 

Spacers for the D90 are 30mm rear, 25mm front


Car is now converted to Audi S3 AMK engine

done all the work myself with my good friend ben

we did the car over a 3 day period (once we had stripped it)

some pictures (my mate has loads more)

Bought a 16v car for the gearbox and hydro set up, plus aload of other rsre bits were kept from this car (i replaced all parts removed with the bits from the 8v and then sold the green 16v car on for a profit!! Result



and picked up my 40k AMK engine





which i started to clean up







and got the gearbox off the green car



we rebult this, and fitted a VR6 sachs clutch kit










Stripped black car










cleaned bay more than what it was (bits i could never get to)




got busy with stripping inside



Audi Loom and ECU



changed bottom arm bushes

OLD



NEW



We had to manufacture a pedal box to fit the audi FBW pedal, and as my early GTI one was much different to the late type and had no provison for the hydro parts we used the pedal box from a late spec GTI



in the car



Managed to source a set of ultra rare 160mph anniversary clocks 9as i didnt want to loose my 140 annie dialsbut wanted a 160 mph readout like the S3)

Here they are together



i got buy right away and modified these to illuminate blue, these are late type chip led and required a full de solder and strip down of the board, i used mk4 gti chip leds in place of the original green ones







had the mileage corrected to my new engines mileage




also modified my new boost gauge to illuminate the same as the clocks





made a housing for it

 

Got the engine in the car

Added a forge 007 DV, silicone TIP and K&N induction kit (which is getting relocated)







Here you can see part of the fantastic downpipe i got from Matthew (Track Sl ag) - Great company





fitted a twin rad fan - also swapped out from the 16v car, we modified this to suit our new Front mount intercooler











Got my exhaust and a few other bits

Jetex cat back



TRACK SL AG Downpipe


















built rest of engine up, and spend hours making the wiring perfection - im very fussy















We need to fabricate brackets to hold the coolant bottle, this is next job to do, also going to fit a MK4 washer bottle on the left hand side and route the induction kit where my washer bottle is at the moment

engine is running and im over the moon, waiting on my St/St sports cat to arrive from the states then i can get this on the road

Im so happy :-)

 

That's 1 very nice car mate

 

Cheers matey :-)

 

so you put the 8v box on the 16v you sold?

 

Awesome!! How did you get the mileage corrected?

 

i put the 8v box which had jsut been rebuilt and also had a brand new genuine clutch, the Rod exchange, linkage and brake resovoir bottle all on to the green ABF car, it had a blown headgasket which has been fixed and my mate is driving it round - flys off the mark!!!

1990, i know a guy that can do it, it cost me 40, on the mk3 its done by pluggin a device into a 3 pin socket on the back of the clocks.

the same guy can do any car you want, although im not sure about non digital clocks mind.

 

A mk3 that I really like. Top work fella!

 

Like this alot.

 

Any chance of a PM with his details?
