RichyGT

Or pm me if you decide to sell mate, cant afford a gt at the minute but would like to have the car so i can put the engine in myself when funds allow. I miss my old one Rich

go for coke and tin foil, apperently that works really well on polished stuff

The one with 1260 on is mine. I went and got tax like a week ago and there was no problem and insurance know what car and cc it is so it doesnt matter if its wrong on the v5.

nice one mate, have to have a meet up for some pics if u do

well mines had a fair bit done to it and i drive it to derby and back from leicester all week and love it.

Gonna get some d2 coilovers but has anybody used this company before. dont wanna have my pants pulled down by them so thought i'd do a bit of rsearch first. http ://cgi.ebay.co.uk/D2-Adjustable-Suspen...QQcmdZViewItem thanks folks

took a couple more pics yesterday and also went to rwyb at pod, first ever run for me and got a 15.3 which i was pleased with. But after that the best i could get was a 15.2 It was getting a bit damp when i got there at 8 and i was really struggling for grip so on a better day i reckon high 14's are possible. Also been looking at possibilities of how i want her to look and i've come up with two, just wanted to see what you all thought. Just a quick couple of p-shops

add me on im 90% sure i'll be coming down since theres a lot going, will be good for pics

cheers peoples, want some coilovers and wheels then fmic, rrfpr, hks actuator. Plus i've got that engine in my garage if you remember cal so that the ongoing project bit. for tonight im off to rwyb i think to see what time i can get, watch this space.

As most of you will know (thanks to cals big mouth lol) i bought ians GT a few weeks back as a bit of an ongoing project. I wanted a mint one with the intentions of keeping it mint but adding my own touch to it. I've had a couple of problems with it. two days after getting it i got back from uni and was hearing a knocking from the rear wheel so jacked it up to find the nuts were literally hanging off :eek: No fault of Ians as he didnt take the wheel off prior. But im glad to have it sorted ad still be alive lol Second problem, as its a new car and its got a pretty high bite i've stalled a cu

its looking awesome mate, i'll be reading through this for tips on my build

So been busy today, now i know im using the black shell i know i can strip the white one down completely for parts so got going today. Like an idiot i didnt check the cars for ecu's and just assumed they wouldnt have one as theyd been stripped of a lot of bits. So I went a bought one and then after 5 minutes work i find it still there ;), Then I carried on stripping the beast down. Started like this Then got to this Then this Couple of shots of the engine in the white one Anyone need any interior bits let me know

cheers mate, sprayed the polo twice as didnt get it quite right first time. had to strip it right back again, so yeah it did take ages. Will update quite quickly so keep an eye on it.

So as some of you may hav read in my welcome section thread My names Rich and Im studying Motorsport Tech at Derby Uni. I've wanted a gt for ages as a project and then i got offered these two at a bit of a bargain price so i thought i'd have them and do a full rebuild from scratch as my Uni project and also as a learning experience. I got offered 2 gt's that had been scrapped with 3 engines and 2 gearboxes so i decided to have them as my project. The original plan was to repair the white one and rebuild it but after getting some quotes from people at how much it would cost I have decide

thanks for the welcome people. hopefully when the project is done i can meet some of you at some shows

change of plan, had kind of a quote on getting it repaired and lets just say its more than i thought, so im gonna use the other shell i've got just have to transfer everything over. Pics to come soon

Really nice gt, if you ever want to sell your bumper grille and lights (dont know why you would) let me know lol as i havent got any at the moment : (

Hey everyone been on here for a while but just picked up my project car so thought i'd say hi and post some pictures up now. I just bought 2 gt's with 3 engines and 2 gearboxes for £400 but they're in bad condition so thought i'd bring one of them back to its former glory. I've got 2 choices one has been rear ended but not too badly so is repairable and the other is engineless and needs a lot of work to get it back to good condition. Im thinkin about repairing the white one as it wont take much to do and will get away without a respray for now or should i strip it and put everything

from near abbey park mate, You?. picking up my project tomorrow will have to have a meet up when its done, seen a few gts around leicester not sure if theyre on here or tgtt though

just wandering if anybody on here is from or near Leicester Rich

yeah i remember that match we changed shirts at haf time as everyone thought they were bad luck lol

is weird. went out new years eve with friends and girlfriend had a skinful and that then when back to mates house. About half 4 left my mates girlfriend driving home come to a T junction look right then left, nothing there so turn right and drive home. Next day find out a 16 year old who was working part time at my old school helping out with sports whilst studying at college was stabbed in the neck with a broken bottle and killed. Travelling to my grandparents the next day find out the lad was murdered about 30 yards from where we turned right and about 5-10 minutes after we did turn. So

support the mighty united (manchester) that is, treble this season folks Hopefully

2.2 vtec out of the accord type r or prelude, my mate got one for less than that for his ek

might be a repost but its awesome lol
