Hahahaha, no strut braces or anything that fits a mk2 performance goods wise cos i dont touch them really, but I've got this engine from a car we broke

Brian Rickets Motorsport engine with approx. 115k miles on the clock. However, this engine was rebuilt by TSR 20k miles ago. Unknown internal specification. Made 105bhp at the wheels after rebuilt (approx. 140bhp atf) when on K-jet injection.

Me and Karlie had a productive day on saturday.

Fitted the Front Coilies and changed the discs and pads for some black diamond x drilled and pagids to make stopping less trouser explosive.

Snapped a camber eccentric top bolt grrr but found a suitable temporary replacement.

While i was fitting the front coilies and brakes, karlos set about sorting out a few loose ends here and there, sorting out a broken white clip on the passenger seat to stop it rocking, reattached my front splitter, straighted the gti badge and fixed the wing properly into place.

sunday, i washed and polished the car and re-adjusted the bonnet so it sits proper flush.

got nufty stuff done on zee loonamon too, was a productive weekend.

anyway pic whorage time =D

Like the wheels ALOT. Not so keen on the GTi badge on the front though.

  • Author

badge will be staying that way, i like it, its off a us spec mk5 rabbit gti.

might get a chrome piped grille at some pont or mess about with some red trim, although as you know I'm not a fan of red haha

plus it brings back memories
