TDO4 229.1 BHP White MK1 TOM'S Kitted Glow Panel GT (Third Car)


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, picked up a GT yesterday, ive been wanting a turbo for ALONG time..

i swapped my N/A and £350 cash for it so its still a good deal even tho it needs a new engine.

its also got GTC or something coiloves which are all fully adjusatable and it handles like a dream, some alright alloys, FPR, Manual boost controller, HKS turbo timer, boost guage, tial rep wastegate, WEPR ct9 hybrid power up kit. and some more goodies

the shell is very clean. and its got a WEPR CT9 hybrid power up kit, however... on the way home from collecting it. the conrod came out the block, made alot of smoke noise and a ballache. i never even got over 50 or to feel the boost :( heres a few pictures however ill get better ones when im not in a grump with it lol

I would of towed it straight back to his house

my brother was in a glanza and towed it off the motorway, it was the most dodgiest thing ive ever seen especially when the rope caught up with the slack after going downhill and decided it was to dangerous to do anything but get off and get the aa home, ive not given up end of the day i belive ive got a good deal even after i buy a new engine :D

to swap a n/a and 350 quid for a GT turbo mk2 ep82 :sad: he has had to known somthing is wrong here like lol....

did he say was ok n that jazz??

he said a mechanic inspected it and there was a problem with tappets and shims but i was hoping id get home, or atleast last a month till i could afford replacement parts... which is now an engine lol

From his Facebook advert the bloke did not know what it was tbh

^^ the guy had no clue what he was talking about

This what was on ebay? Thought it sold for £1200?

he told the ebay buyer it had been stolen i think.... i had no clue about this until he told me when i went to get it

i kinda love the front end, just need bumper respraying and splitter re-attatching after it got abit ripped off trying to get on the aa tow thing. saw your thread mate i prefer these rear lights, not keen on the indicators on them rear light. agreed tho mk1 front looks sweet. thanks mate so far after the hour driving i loved it, its awesome. also i guess they dont have power steering? unless thats another thing thats broke lol

also took the wipers and scuttle off to loosen the wipers as they barely moved across the screen:
10704043_10205334234744791_7839099054470

also found my hks turbo timer which the previous owner couldnt find because it fell down the back of the head unit... and also discovered i have rare import coiloves, gtc or gic i cant remember but my friends got them on his car and my brother said the last pair he saw was on the american ebay for £/$2k! and the wheels are genuine WORK's ... 7j wide which is a result! however again the previous owner mucked up.. the tyres/wheels were on the wrong side.. and all the vacuum lines connected had a bolt stuck in the end of each and were not even connected. few more niggly bits to sort but she will be sorted and put to former glory...
and now its just a waiting game for parts :)
