Alrighty!!!
Some of you know / suspected but I didn't want to post up 'till the previous owner sorted himself out with a car. I went down to Blackpool on Sat to pick up my second GTi. This is a car I'd wanted near two years ago but couldn't accord Nismo Billy's asking price when it was sold to Sneds.
Many of you will know the car as it's been in the club for a while now.
Here's a couple of phone pics of it parked up at work. StevenC "big cam" pics will be coming once it's been mopped and waxed.
The car has an impressive spec as it is and I plan to maintain it to a very high standard, while enjoying it at the same time.
V Reg 1999 PH3 GTi
87,000 Miles
JWT S3R Cams
XTD Pro-lite flywheel
ACT S1 Clutch
4-2-1 2.5" Manifold
MIJ 2.25" Exhaust
17" Rota Torque's in Bronze w/ Toyo T1-R's on the front
PI Springs
Braided Brake Lines
Lucino Grill
Sony 4x50w XPLOD CD Player
Uprated Rear Speakers
List of things to do, in no particular order:
Mechanical
- Get middle box / blowing exhaust fixed
- Give it a good couple of hits with the Makita / UDM to see the true condition of the paintwork
- Treat the rust on the 1/4's which due to age of paint may require full blowover
- Investigate why it's pulling lightly to the left. Could be tramlining on the 17's I guess but want to check the bushes / arms and tracking
- Re-paint grill
- Steering seems a bit heavy (guess it always will having gone from the Focus / Fiesta to this) and the level is a bit low so I'll top it up and look for leaks (doesn't seem to be leaking atm)
- Refurb / replace the rear brake calipers (good old sticky handbrake)
- RR to check the horses and fuelling, Nismo FPR if required...
- Re-Underseal
Upgrade
- Fit De-cat
- Rear beam bushes
- Front ARB bushes / drop links
- Coilovers
- Short shifter
Modify
- Lucino rear lights (maybe?)
- Clear repeaters
- Re-fit side bump strips??????
- Decide if I'm keepin the wheels or getting 16's...
I'd like to thank Garnz for selling to me. The big slab of man love looked like he was going to cry. I'd also like to thank Ross for taking me down and apologise for the blizzard banter on the way back up the road.
Ohhhh it's good to be back.
