this is the base project!
The car was a 2.0 16v gti and has had a 2.9 vr6 coversion carried out by stealth racing back in 2002
it came with wietec coilovers, hi spec 4 pots, eibach front and rear ARB, sparco front and rear strut braces, colour concept black recaro seats, and full re spray in royal blue, it also has a schrick inlet and schimmel cams
In the first couple of months of owning it i had some major issues! was drinking petrol and the brakes didnt feel very good!
I found the timing out and had to re time it properly! then found a braided brake hoes had failed and pierced the brake line and spraying fluid out
So £300 down front new hoses, pads and discs ordered up
The hardline to the braided siezed, had to make a new hard line from the abs unit.
After getting the brakes completed that night the top hose from the block to matrix exploded
I think the car is cursed
Bought a vento front! not fitted yet! got to get rid of the horrible mk4 messy front!
fixed the brakes as had issues with them! then block to matrix hoses exploded!
So i bought these
I started to refurb my schmidt ml splits
The car is now sat on the drive like this!
Spent about £450 getting all new collant setup and sensor for oil etc!
Just need to get the sills repaired
because they are shot to bits! and have found a hole in the passenger foot well!
The car is back together
And the heater matrix broke!!!
So next on the list is heater matrix!
