Polar White MK2 VTS. End of page 5, new owner killed it :(
Bought for the bargain price of £700.
Needed a clutch and an o/s driveshaft, thank fully I had a Valeo clutch lying around and ordered a new driveshaft got it up and running and I love it!
Its got some niggles that need sorting out but are easy enough.
Been told its been cammed aswell however no proof of this or what cams it has in it, a trip to the RR will be in order.
blah blah blah 80,000miles, 16" TD 1.2's, lowered 60mm, smoked headlights, smooth boot, pooflow exhaust, pro-tech 4-2-1 manifold, gti half leather interior blah blah.
Anyway the pics:
Plans for the future ARE:
1. Sort out electrical niggles.
2. Full service, stop oil leaks.
3. ICE install
4. Trip to RR
5. New air filter
6. New exhaust, Kam Racing Stainless system probably, or Piper 3" backbox.
7. New gearknob
8. Move GTi-6 brakes from boot onto struts.
Hope you like

yeah it needs a new plate tbh, picking up a new bumper tomorrow as the exhaust has eaten this one, cant be bothered doing the whole 106 recess so gonna stick one on somewhere with a pair of LED bolts that iv got instead of the awful moulding thats bolted on here

Spent a good 3 hours cleaning the car today as it was stupeendously dirty. Wash, a going over with AG Super Resin Polish, a sprinkling of olive oil and she is super duper clean again.
Plans for this weekend are to fit 90A alternator, fit standard gear knob, get a heated rear window switch, parcel shelf and any other random bits that are in the scrappys, hopefully find some 13cm door speakers till i can afford the focals up there^
pedo bear has found his way into my boot too, unsure how this has happened the little scamp.
some porn:

oh herro
not so distant future plans:
new rear numberplate
fiddle exhaust
fit new rear bumper

Looks nice pal. Not a fan of the tailgate without the number plate etc but each to their own. Best colour

Exhaust Swap.
suppp.
bought a piper system off jonathon5 for a nice price and fitted it yesterday and it sounds awesome.
step 1, rip off old powerflow piece of shite and compare to piper
step 2, examine old exhaust for signs of good workmanship:
none found.
step 3, fit piper system:
great success! 3.5" inward rolled backbox, 2" pipework all the way back to manifold, car is now decatted and sounding larvely.
vv:listen to it:vv
Ignore the smoke, coming off the exhaust paste.
