matts xsi euro project

[Matt]

Nah just a quieter exhaust, sunstrip going back on, maybe a smaller oc sticker. Then smoothed bumpers grill bonnet. Respray white.
The I've got a gti manifold and cat to fit. A new head cambelt water pump etc and then some new pullys.
Fit my quick shift and I few other bits I've collected, and that's my plans for the year lol

Is your car overheating Matt? Fans shouldn't really be kicking it when it's this cold!

Yes but the car temp goes up too 100 sat in traffic etc. so fans should kick in lol.

An jonny, you sure it was the blue one?

Yep spoke to him last night was defo the blue one we changed

[Matt]

It was the blue one? And be had the same problem as me? Fans not coming on when it's heated up? As mine gets to 100'c easy and fans won't kick in

[Jonny b]

Sometimes they wouldn't come on and he had the stop light come on, other times they were on all the time

[Jonny b]

Iirc the blue one is the temp sensor least that's what I asked en for ha ha

[Matt]

Hmm think I'll replace the blue an the brown and see if that make a difference

[Niall]

Matt do the green while your there as well. Car will run much better if it's even slightly dodgy

[Fozzy]

Im bored and photoshop was open




And the colour i think you should paint it

[Moonstone2.0]

[Matt]

Second looks awesome! But I want white so bad haha

[kingy]

[Ruan]

Cossack...

[4WayDiablo]

[Carlos182]

[4WayDiablo]

Cossack...

But paint the bonnet please!

This. Cossack FTW

Astor is better
Bit of pearlescence and slightly liter than astor would be better :-)

[Foxy-jim]

White looked awesome. Grey even better!

[Matt]

I'm torn :/ I love the Cossack, but white will be so much easier and I've wanted white for ages

[kingy]

cossack is very nice on a ph1. i would stick to white if they are you options. just look at that mint 6 thats just been posted. ahmen.

[Jonny b]

WHITE all day long!!

[Poodle]

Oooooo, that cossack looks lurverly. If you've wanted white for ages though i'd go with that, will never be content with it otherwise.

[Matt]

As nice as that Cossack looks, it's not Cossack. John sent me a link to someone on the '6 forum and the Cossack is totally different and actually looks gash on the ph3 lol

It will be going white

Oh and poodle has the head removal coming on? I have money waiting for you

[Foxy-jim]

You keeping the bonnet black?

[Matt]

For now. Till I can get another and weld it properly

[Foxy-jim]

Fair enough! It's going to be good when done!

[cwspellowe]

White ftw! If you're spraying it though go for a nice White pearl. Proper euro.

[Matt]

White pearl? Where can I find a paint code? Or a car that has white pearl paint so I can get a look and get a paint code from that
Was thinking a nice white. I kinda like the white that's on the Peugeot RCZ

[Jonny b]

Some of the new audis have a pearl white

[Matt]

The white of the r8 looks good

[Niall]

Some of the new audis have a pearl white

This. As much as I hate the German shite, the s3 comes in a pearl white and it looks lovely in the sun. Your painting skills better be good thou!

[Poodle]

You're going to have to keep that cleaner than you keep the manstone.

Tbh mate i've barely touched the cabby in the last month, finding a new car and house has kind of been taking up my time lol. Head is almost off though, just need to remove the manifolds, will do that tomoz ready for weds morning. Meant to ask if you still wanted it, wasn't sure with all this talk of '6 engines...
