#1: Danw_VVT 1.4 **UPDATE 15/3/12 hiflow cat and remap **** pg6 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 3:18 am ----
***** NEW UPDATE ON PAGE 6!!! ******
ok so been a while and thought id update the OP so its current. lol
i bought the pug about 3 years ago now. when i bought it it was standard and a ex disabled car.
spec was :
1.4 16v sport 5 door tornado alloys sports interior elec windows a/c etc.
SPEC NOW:
REFLEX CAT BACK STAINLESS SYSTEM
RACELAND 4-2-1 MANIFOLD
POWERFLOW DECAT MID SECTION
GE quickshift
OEM GTI spoiler
cc'd door mirrors
cc'd bonnet vent
cc'd interior console
fly eye optics all round
custom tornado red engine detail
8000k HID's
MAK 14" alloys
BMC panel filter
de-badged
de-wipered
custom sound system
next: lower 40mm and new alloys!
straight away i knew i would mod it and wanted to try somethin daring. so went for a bit of red spraying.
so i sprayed the bonnet vents tornado red and added some Red RC lion decals. also changed the alloys to some MAK 14"s as they had better tyres on.
After a while i added some 8000k HID's as i had previously got used to driving audi S4's etc with them in and prefered HID's.
then i saw the error of my ways n took off the RC lions and evenutally the front and rear sun strips.
then came the proper modding.
so next job was engine bay plastics in tornado red ( red engine is somethin ive always done)
after this i debadged the rear and placed a nice white info sticker on the rear and front
then came the time for a new exhaust so got a custom reflex oval made by R-Tec
then i took the black stickers that come factory off the door pilliars
before
during
after
after that i got the dorr mirrors and interior console colour coded to iron met grey
after that i wanted the car to look a bit more agressive so went with the fly eye tints all round
then we started modding the golf
after a while i gave it a good clean and added a drift charm
then more performance in the form of a straight through center section and BMC panel filter
then added a GE quickshift which made the car feel alot better
and got a spoiler off CD-vRS
added a britishmods sticker to!
and thats how she is today.
next is to get a quiter exhaust as the missus will be having her soon and also lower 40mm and some new alloys.

Red on grey is not the best tbh.
#3: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 Author: VorTechS, Location: Gloucestershire, UKPosted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 3:26 am ---- White might be worth a look at in Photoshop.... could see that looking good....
#4: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 3:26 am ---- just reds my fav colour and last 3 cars were red lol.......

#7: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 4:04 am ---- can someone photo shop for me please!
took the RC lions off at the weekend. gave it a wash clay polish and wax looks great!!
206info stickers arrived and put on look really good.
dad is on holiday next week when he comes back he is spraying my mirrors gloss black for me
will post pics up once mirrors are done.
also think i have decided on colour scheme. going to get i lowered and spoiler splitter.
wheels im still going for hockenhiems but think white will look good. what you think?
also the other day i took off the cone induction kit. i havent got money atm but get as bonus end of month. so was thinking of replacing with a bmc panel filter. which will leave me around £50 for another mod this month..... any ideas on what to do to it for £50?
#9: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **update** Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Wed Jul 07, 2010 1:55 am ---- debadge? thats free!
or you can get a spoiler +delivered for £50 so id do that and get your dad to spray and fit it for you.
#10: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **update** Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Wed Jul 07, 2010 2:00 am ---- already debadged one of the first things....
i was thinking spoiler. would like a gti one really. are they about £50 then?
trying to sell standard wheels to get a bit of extra cash so i can get a splitter aswell.
o and i have also decided white wheels now. my mate had bronze tried them and werent to sure. but think white will be good
did you get the center console sorted mate?
#11: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **update** Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Wed Jul 07, 2010 4:50 am ---- If you are going to lower 60mm you will need to uprate the shocks as well. The shortened springs will rape the standard shocks in a matter of months.
I also think that you should pull off the black stickers on the door pillars and CC the wing mirrors...
#12: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **update** Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Wed Jul 07, 2010 4:56 am ---- wing mirrors are being sprayed gloss black this month.... i was thinking about the black getting that sprayed black as the plastic roof bits will in time be sprayed to for convinience when polishing.....
is there a how to with the door stickers as slightly worried about pulling them off?
managed to get some pics last night!!
sorry about quality taken off my phone!!
my new addition!

#16: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **update** new pics! Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 5:26 am ---- looking nice mate, back looks much better debadged, i like the exhaust too, i may have to get one, fills the gap in the bumper better.
and i like the xr3 but wheels should be put back to silver

i have decided for the xr3i to go back to xr3i
might keep the wheels though but spray them anthracite.
however have been a lil busy recently and think i have found a s2 rs turbo that im gonna buy aswell harhar!!!!!
yeah the rear looks 100% better debadged and i love my exhaust sounds great and doesnt look to ott!
#20: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **update** new pics! Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 6:17 am ---- just a few picts of the engine bay after i got a bit happy with left over red spray!
#21: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **UPDATE 23/08** Page 2!!! Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Mon Aug 23, 2010 3:47 am ---- so was off for 2 weeks hence why i havent been on here much.
didnt realise so much could happen in two weeks! and cost so much!
ill start with the good!
i got my door mirrors back early fitted them and i am chuffed with how much they make the car look cleaner and fresher!
i also took howeys advice and removed the door pilliar sticker, was so easy and again set the detial of the car off nicely! only problem was from where i had a new door fitted and sprayed the bodyshop stuck the sticker on with fresh paint makin it rather difficult to get the sticky residue off !
what you think?
before
during
after
also a 50/50 of my center console
i also gave it a good clean and clay with all this stuff!!!
my new polisher! chicago phnuematic CP8210 retails at £350!!!
after claying!
we also got another addition! a 1.6 glxi skoda felicia ( it was given i did not spend a penny on it! lol) its in a right state but will make it a lil project to fix and sell!
its same colour as this one!
now for the bad!
my lovely 6 month old puppy jack russel turned out to be not very well. costing me a fiar bit and putting the purchase of my coils on hold!
here is russel
he had a dislocated leg and needed major surgery! he now has to spend 4 weeks in a cage to let it heal!
his wound!
and the main CR*P thing is a stupid girl in her red KA decided to turn a corner whilst looking the other way!
the result is as below which is also crap s my car wont be in for fixing until 8th sept! so i will have this mess for TRAX! really wanted to cry!
so next step is to get car repair finally purchase my coils! get bonnet vent resprayed fly eye the lights when the kit comes after trax and buy some alloys of DSG!
lol
comments welcome
o and so you can put a face to the name a pict of me (right as i know some1 will comment) my missus left and our lil boy archie in center!

#32: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **UPDATE 16/09/10 bk from bodyshop** Author: adzar, Location: UKPosted: Fri Sep 17, 2010 9:36 am ---- Yeah, I'm gonna get that done at some point, but won't be going to the lining. Will put it at the arch, where the intake for the resonance box is atm. I just feel that pug would have put it there for a reason... If it was better at the lining, it wouldn't have cost them anymore to have made the resonance box upside down so the intake was there.
#33: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **UPDATE 16/09/10 bk from bodyshop** pg2 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Fri Sep 17, 2010 9:40 am ---- yeah exactly was just a quick fix for them wasnt it?

Not too sure. Would have thought they put it where they did as it was the best place. Also, it means less bends in the downpipe to put it at the arch:P
#37: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **UPDATE 16/09/10 bk from bodyshop** pg2 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Fri Sep 17, 2010 9:59 am ---- dunno on mine there is f loads of bends standard lol
#38: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **UPDATE 16/09/10 bk from bodyshop** Author: adzar, Location: UKPosted: Fri Sep 17, 2010 10:21 am ---- Yeah, but they were doing that because they had the resonance box on to stop noise, so that was a compromise. But perhaps the location they chose in terms of air quality was still the best in that region.
I really don't know, just speculating lol.
Either way, I'm just going to do it like I've drawn on this pic, as it's simplest and probably makes no difference either way
#39: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **UPDATE 16/09/10 bk from bodyshop** Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Mon Sep 27, 2010 3:51 am ---- ******UPDATE 27/09/10*****
ok hello people! just a quick update people! as in previous post i have done the fly eyes on all optics and think it looks 100% better as pics below
also on sat i took my car to R-Tec. they done a custom stainless steel exhaust center section and fitted my BMC panel filter! woohoo car sounds awesome when giving it some and has a lovely rumble when normal driving! feels like it picks up alot better and smoother! shame about the MPG though! lol
any way ill get some pics up later of the exhaust and will post a video up soon aswell!
#40: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **UPDATE 27/09/10 **** pg3 Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Mon Sep 27, 2010 6:04 am ---- Whats it like driving at night Dan with the fly eye? I found it pants to be honest its like driving with candles so as good as it looks mine is going to have to come off which is a shame
#41: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **UPDATE 27/09/10 **** pg3 Author: adzar, Location: UKPosted: Mon Sep 27, 2010 6:05 am ---- Nice job dan, looks good! So have you got anything coming out of your airbox atm?
Off topic, but what splitter have you got on your car mikey2uk?
#42: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **UPDATE 27/09/10 **** pg3 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Mon Sep 27, 2010 6:33 am ---- @ mickey - i find it ok mate havent noticed any diff tbh mate! light output is still good.
@ adzar - yeah i cut the pipe off the resonator box atm then will get some felx hose to make the air feed. still trying differnt things atm till i find one that works!
but with the filter and exhaust there is a noticable diff!
@ - antix form the shout - hell yeah feels much better mate!
some pics of the new drift charm ( ) and of the bmc in the box.
#43: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **UPDATE 27/09/10 **** pg3 Author: Antix, Location: WorcesterPosted: Mon Sep 27, 2010 6:35 am ---- gd gd Dan - as long as you are pleased!

#45: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **UPDATE 27/09/10 **** pg3 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 4:18 pm ---- Like the red covers in the engine bay a few posts up you said some thing about mpg, is it the filter or center section that has changed it? Other than that has the panel filter made throttle response any better?
#46: Re: Dan_pug206sport 1.4 **UPDATE 27/09/10 **** pg3 Author: twed207, Location: borders, near carlisle.Posted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 4:52 pm ---- OMG, it's been years since ive seen these! i had loads... lol

@ andrew. its a combination of both that have seen my MPG. and i got the center section done same time as the panel so not to sure how excellent the panel is on its own. but with the exhaust and panel pick up is much smoother and feels alot quicker!
i will be RR'ing the car witha standard air filter and my bmc to see what diff it has as i want to know if all thew work so far has change the figures for sure!

Would be good to see you get a dyno graph mate
#80: Re: Danw_VVT 1.4 **UPDATE 26/06/11 **** pg5 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Tue Nov 01, 2011 10:53 am ---- Same place currently as its a de-cat system. The dyno run is post poned duue to lack of funds for a new hi flow cat. Once I have that the lambda will be relocated to under the car just before the mid section. Then ill bbe getting it dyno'd
#81: Re: Danw_VVT 1.4 **UPDATE 26/06/11 **** pg5 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Tue Nov 01, 2011 4:59 pm ---- So you are getting a cat welded in? Mines on the downpipe you see and I have two lambdas
Hows your mpg with it?
I keep asking you questions haha, but you seem to be getting quite far with 1.4 tuning
I have two aswell a pre cat and a post cat sensor. The raceland will accomodate for these, once I get the cat it will be welded in place undeer the car, then I will weld up one of the lambda holes on the raceland and fabricate it to be fuurther down ( after the cat)
If I drive carefully for a week I can normally get 470 miles to a tank. Hard driving it can drop right down to half that. Surprisingly it hasn't effected mpg as much as I estimated
#83: Re: Danw_VVT 1.4 **UPDATE 26/06/11 **** pg5 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Mar 15, 2012 6:10 pm ---- So I haven't uP dated for a while.
Currently the changes are a hi flow cat welded into the front of the mid section with the post cat lambda sensor relocated. This caused a little problem as the sensor was knackered. I then replaced that with a ngk sensor and all seemed ok for a short while. But then the eml and anti pollution fault was back.
After looking into it the hi flow is taking my emmissions slightly out of the tolerances of the ecu. Still mot passable but still flaggin the eml.
With this is mind the car is booked in at AmD Essex for a mil eliminator and stage 1 remap. This is on the 27th. Should be interesting!!
Other then that I've only given her a post winter Swiss vax detail. But then someone keyed down my wing. So within the next month she's going in for a full respray
Dyno prints will be posted after the mapping. Comments welcome!

The exhaust sounded lush when I heard it, good to hear you are pushing on with it, I'm interested to see what results you will get
#85: Re: Danw_VVT 1.4 **UPDATE 15/3/12 hiflow cat and remap **** pg6 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 6:44 am ---- Yeh I needed some re spraying done anyway but still not happy!
Thanks I like it tbh it's a bit quieter now because of the hi flow but still good sounding. The sensor is weird mate so if u do them same exhaust be aware it will annoy you a bit lol
Really looking forward to AmD trip. I know people say not to bother with a 1.4 but ATM I can't leave it where it is because of the irregular running. But hey it will be worth it in my mind

#87: Re: Danw_VVT 1.4 **UPDATE 15/3/12 hiflow cat and remap **** pg6 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Fri Mar 23, 2012 4:01 am ---- Yes when cold it pops loudly at about 4000rpm gear change and once warm it pops on over rev (5000rpm) and also when cruising or coasting it has a little flurry of pops
