Klangs Golf GTD MK1 Mods
« on: September 20, 2006, 05:41:23 am »
I bought this Golf GTD because I needed a car to go long distances for a while.
Then I got sick and bored going down the highway and figuered that I need some mods to be done...

Quick info:

Golf GTD -84
Black
1.6TD
2" Exhaust
Soot modded amongst other small adjustments
Higher boost (1.8 BAR / 26 PSI)

Dyno tested to 100hk. (before intercooler)

But were about to change that, It'll probably end up with a piston through the bonnit... then I'm happy =)

A couple of pics:








Got a serious amount of soot on the dyno, as you can see.
I blow the door shut when I got some boost...


Mounting a Intercooler:

Trying to get a Saab 9000 intercooler in there...

Yep, of course we need a intercooler..
But why, oh why must we try to get the over-sized one?
Oh well.. lets give it a go..


Remove the front, radiator and other things in the way..



At this time we realized there was no chance in hell this intercooler would get in there... (if you look to the left you see the intercooler..)
So its time for some cutting :)




Tada, a big funny looking hole.. Fixing some smaller things with a clonk-o-meter and a big bar:



Now, we can almost get it in there:



Oh well, I'm sick of cutting things, - Just get it in..



Oh f... we cant close the bonnit.. what to do? CUT IT!




And thats how far we got now... I runs really well.. beat some gassers as Golf GTI MK2, Polo GTI -04...

Pink my ride mod

Warning: The images you are about to see WILL offent you, so for your own sake, dont have any beverages in your mouth when looking below.. Unless... you want to clean

With this sed, lets go:

Friend is grinding the boost pin:



Closeup:



Back in the pump:




And then we had to face the problem with the bonnit not really looking that well with 2 big holes in it..
My 2 friends wanted to "fix it, make it look sweet".. - Well okey.. go ahead do what the f... you want..

That, was my biggest mistake..
They really went in for it, and came up with this:

Violett metallic paint with GLITTER!?



And that was just not enough for them.. they had to get the scoop's aswell:




And the "result":



Two happy friends... (because they dont have to be in it?)



And the last pic... Klang on the roof:




"I have officially been 'pinked'" :\

Any ideas on what to do now?

So please, give me some comments to ease this pain =)

Ill vote for Beautiful if you find me a MK2 GTD grill
Turbo boost libido and passive restraints
And as of yet I haven't heard even a single complaint
I've got the tools of the trade and a fuel injected heart
Efficiency is beautiful, efficiency is art
