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 :whistle: 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 :evil:
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
