Hi all.

This is the reason for the Ceffy being for sale (did I mention my ceffy is for sale?)

Just want to say thanks to the guys on here that helped with some financial direction, partictuarly EvoCam, who was extremly helpful.

Anyway PICS!

PS, for those who dont know. Top model VW Jetta. GTI motor (280nm 1800-5000rpm, 147kw 5200-6000rpm), dsg gearbox standard, and a boot that is bigger than a commodore or a falcon, or a camary, or a 380... 0-100 7.2secs. 8L per 100kms combind cycle. I'm quite happy with it. Just going to get a nice sub, and an amp to give some more guts to the front stage.

Nice :/

Just curious, did you consider a Golf GTI? If so, why did the Jetta win? I'm asking because I'm looking for a new daily and both of these are on the not-so-short list, the Golf wins for me so far (personal preference) but if I've missed something with the Jetta it might be worth another look!

Had the same dilemma myself. Jetta has massive storage space, and basically same performance

But liked the look of the Gti better, so got the Gti. Great car. Just a shame I couldn't quite stretch the budget for the GPS.

They already have mods available for them as well. Might have to get some of the stuff from Britain or Germany though...

Well for me, I wanted a boot. So it really came down to the Jetta or the Mondeo turbo (only came in manual so it went out). That and the boot is HUGE! I mean you really dont notice it until you see it in real life. You could fit a small african nation in there!

I mean the GTI is a harder car, after the cef I wanted something not too distant, but softer. Other thing I wanted the DSG. So the same speced golf came out costing more, for really less car.

And yeah, with a chip they are nuts. Like 185kw and 420nm. With those figures over the same or better rev range it would be just wrong.

Really I wanted an R36 passat. But they cost HEAPS more.

Yeah. And at that money, you have a fair few other options as well.

Quite happy with the golf myself. It was a toss up between that and the jetta when i was purchasing it, but since i didn't need it to be too practical (have three other cars sitting around to be practical if need be), i was able to pick it on looks. I only get to drive it once a month or so, but it's worth it. :rofl:

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
