Hi all I've had this car for about three weeks now and am just at the point where I can get it on the road. I bought it at a good price with a couple of outstanding problems. The car was intermittently overheating and the rear seatbelts were inoperable after the previous owner removed them for a track day and didn't pull the belt out beforehand.
I think I have solved to overheating issue with a full system flush (will see when bits in the road proper) and I've bought 2 new rear 'belts to fit next week.
The car has manual boost controller and a Dastek Unichip Q. The Dastek will be bypassed for now as it may be contributing to the overheating issue.
The suspension has been upgraded to a full set of BC coilovers, which make this 'land barge' handle like a regular sized car!
Here's a couple of pictures anyway. Quick snaps from my phone so please excuse the quality.
I have had it fitted with an AutoWatch Cat1 alarm and immobiliser and the front doors have be de-locked. There is a pioneer Double DIN head unit with Sat-Nav and reversing camera.
My next mods will hopefully be a leather interior and then onto the engine.
Hopefully find a compatible ECU that will carry a Nistune board and a Hybrid T3 turbo to get a few more horses.
I understand that it being an Auto there is not a huge amount of engine work that will be worthwhile.
I will hopefully end up doing a manual conversion at some point in the future.
