#1: Lee's 180 Author: Lee., Location: Blackwood, South WalesPosted: Mon Apr 05, 2010 6:41 am ---- Hey info users! Thought it was about time I started a project thread on my shiny new gti 180! I picked it up from a friend for £4k on a 53 plate with 48k on the clock a little over a week ago! It's a little bit of a step-up from my fake ST fiesta (1.25) but I love it lol The power is awesome fair play! It's not my first foray into the realm of French cars, so I don't expect it to get through MOT's first time or anything! Anyways, here's some pics of it so you lot can give me some idea's in which direction to go modding wise! Here we go:
And one for all you council workers out there!
So any feedback is welcomed, and lay some idea's on me! Cheers guys and gals!

#23: Re: Lee's 180 Author: Flooky, Location: NewportPosted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 1:19 pm ---- nice to see more ppl on here from wales
Welcome and nice car !!!!
#24: Re: Lee's 180 Author: Lee., Location: Blackwood, South WalesPosted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 1:21 pm ---- Got it, cheers guys, just tried it and it's awesome lol Especially considering my last car only had manual mirrors too!
#25: Re: Lee's 180 Author: Lee., Location: Blackwood, South WalesPosted: Mon Apr 26, 2010 1:25 pm ---- Another question, had a look but couldn't find much:
My car seems to heat up and not cool down, when I sit in traffic it goes just past the vertical (90 degree) point and will keep going if I don't move. It has never overheated but it seems like it wants to, is this normal? Every now and again it seems like the fan kicks in but it seems very temperamental?
#26: Re: Lee's 180 Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Mon Apr 26, 2010 2:45 pm ---- Check your coolant levels first of all. But no it shouldn't be sitting at 90 degrees all the time. Although you shouldn't be too alarmed.
#27: Re: Lee's 180 Author: Lee., Location: Blackwood, South WalesPosted: Mon Apr 26, 2010 2:49 pm ---- Ok will have a look tomorrow mate, if it's down where can I get coolant from? Excluding halfrauds lol
#28: Re: Lee's 180 Author: Quarmbo, Location: Bristol & LeicesterPosted: Tue Apr 27, 2010 8:12 am ---- You can get ready mixed stuff from Homebase (Carplan) if you wanted to. If your worried about your engine temp (with it rising), in the meantime, I think if you put your AC on low (1 fan on the digital control) on 16 degrees it should bring it down slowly. Not sure if your supposed to do that, but I noticed my engine temperature drop from 90 to about 79 when I put the AC on.
#29: Re: Lee's 180 Author: MJ8919, Location: TamworthPosted: Tue Apr 27, 2010 8:42 am ---- oil and white wheels preferably standard peugeot but powdercoated or summet? all you need (IMO)Awesome car mate
#30: Re: Lee's 180 Author: Lee., Location: Blackwood, South WalesPosted: Fri Apr 30, 2010 4:13 pm ---- Well the coolant tank was near enough full, but I put some in anyway to take it over the max just to see what would happen! Next day was stuck in traffic again and it didn't go above 90 (which it had before). So don't know what to think, does coolant go bad?
Plus I would love to get the wheels powder coated, any idea's on colours? I can't decide between white or a darker colour?
#31: Re: Lee's 180 Author: matt180, Location: worcesterPosted: Fri Apr 30, 2010 4:38 pm ---- why not lower it mate
#33: Re: Lee's 180 Author: Lee., Location: Blackwood, South WalesPosted: Fri Apr 30, 2010 4:43 pm ---- What's the best way to lower? Coilies, springs and shocks? Yea was thinking graphite, or Anrthacite?
#34: Re: Lee's 180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Fri Apr 30, 2010 4:45 pm ---- Springs and shocks mate, and anthracite wheels look amazing on Aegean blue
#35: Re: Lee's 180 Author: Lee., Location: Blackwood, South WalesPosted: Sun May 02, 2010 4:14 am ---- You got any suggestions for which springs and shocks are best (budget wise lol). Plus where in our area(ish) can I get my wheels powder coated?
#36: Re: Lee's 180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Sun May 02, 2010 4:33 am ---- I know of a few places to get them done mate, Cwmbran alright for you?
#37: Re: Lee's 180 Author: Lee., Location: Blackwood, South WalesPosted: Sun May 02, 2010 4:39 am ---- Yea that'd be fine mate, how much for the 4 then?
