So gone is the old 3 door PD115, and here is its replacement!

A 2002, 5 door LC9Z black magic pearl GT TDI PD130

Picked it up on a 5 hour round trip and now its wearing some bits and bobs from the old car : BBS VZs, headlights, splitter and rear brace plus a couple of bits of trim etc

Excuse the terrible iPwn pics!

Proper pics to follow in the morning.

So far, I'm delighted ! Spools up so well , climatronic is fantastic , seats are awesome and standard suspension is SO COMFY!! (compared to the old ones nasty nasty TA Technix dampers)

Spec wise its pretty high, all the usual GT bits like 6 speed box and sports seats, plus an in dash CD Changer, ESP, GTI type brakes (easy to upgrade) etc

So...whaddy'all think?

:p

Comments Welcome!

I think this car suits the VZs better than the old one

Today's operation: Joey Mod

Take one set of depos:

Disembowel

Bake at gas mark 4 for 2-3 minutes

Remove the lense

Note : Some people like to add canned salmon to the recipe at this point. Don't.

Spray the insert

Et voila!

"Note : Some people like to add canned salmon to the recipe at this point. Don't." Gotta love Beardyman haha. Looks like a good base for some serious modding :-)

so urr, whats the difference? just a lil more power?

Glad someone got the reference!

As a base , yeah , it has less power than the the old car did in its prime , but it can easily be taken over 200 brake due to its better internals, turbo etc.

Also has better (and more upgradeable) brakes, climate control etc etc

Some more pics of the joey'd lights in situ:

Did a feature shoot for topmotors.com, and got a couple of cheeky shots of my motor at the location

Now sporting an uber subtle grill badge

And got a nice new leather gaitor for it too
