Am in no way having a dig or that, i must have picked them up stupidly cheap in the past then.
-
Nice one guys !! Get your builds done so we can all get a meet going ffs lol.
-
Possibly interested in Zisco kit. Be a shame to break though
-
Rob i'll run them through google and see what they look like Ahh no way Amjad haha, didnt think to ask lol. I'd also consider any other types of seats, recaros or whatever. I only wanted GT seats because theyre comfy and they used to be cheap..
-
That would be more than i was looking to spend on the seats tbh Garry, the rails will be getting taken off/cut up anyway. Thanks though
-
My thoughts exactly, im not getting robbed for no good reason lol. Right so plans... Well i've been thinking about this and i've decided to turbo this engine, and for a few good reasons. The only internal differences between the Gen1 FE and a GT FTE are the valve springs, the pistons and the headgasket, everything else is the same. ( or so im told lol ) Plus this engine is probably in much better condition than 90% of the FTEs, so its a good base in my eyes. Plus who doesn't like a slightly high comp turbo engine ? Haha. Turbo wise, i stupidly sold my Zisco TD04 kit, i loved it but i fou

So i'm looking for a PAIR of 15'' wheels, 4x100 fitment, open to anything really, well aslong as its not shite. Either with tyres or without. Just PM me a pic with a price and some info And i'll see what i think. Would rather collect in the Central Scotland area but i could sort a courier if you're too far away. Cheers, Dan.
-
That sounds promising Devon !! Yeah shorty well i dont think i'll bother with them meisters atm then, for that price i could have a decent turbo setup. I know Rich had them on the red V but apart from that i dont know who else bought them.
-
I think i'll just be doing 2nd gear launches haha, how does it sit and feel through the corners with them ? I was possibly going to get coilovers at the front and then find some low drop springs for the rear. Just dont want to be face down ass up lol.
-
Yeah i know Ted & WeeJohn on TGTT have swapped the 1st, i've now read every single post in the 4paw section so im now mostly up to speed lol. I had a look on the JDM auctions and they still sell Zoom springs but i dont have any uprated shocks to put them on so its kinda pointless. Think Miester would do us a discount if we both bought them ?
-
So do i Patches lol. I know Shorty the miesters are mental priced for the 4paw imo. I'll figure something out. Anyway i had a little afternoon session with this earlier. I reconnected the coolant/vac hoses on the TB/inlet because they were all unplugged. And also it wasnt starting, just kept cranking over, so i did the usual checks and found the plugs were caked in oil and shit, swapped them out and fired it up first time !! Took it for a little spin and my god that 1st gear is short !! Its like a reverse ratio haha. Bought a few parts which should be arriving soon, pair of OZ
-
Really depens what engine the S3 has in it and whats been done to it. Id say the later 2L turbo is the best out of the lot.
-
Awesome selection of parts there Steven. You should be putting them on your 85 instead haha.
-
Pumped a MK1 RS when i had the GT, TD04 supporting mods. Spec of Focus unknown, prob standard lol.
-
You'd be better getting one sorted asap Azz. I had cash sitting here to import one myself, but managed to get this one instead Much easier since it was already UK registered.
-
Well i still have my some parts from the GT that i'll need like, ignitor, clocks, ECU. The rest should be getting sorted soon I'll be keeping the windys though, weight saving man haha. The Carat will be a good base for a N/a build i reckon, with it already having the coilpack and Glanza S intake. But the 85 takes priority atm obviously What have you done suspension wise Shorty, still running the Zoom setup ?
-
When i first seen the Carat for sale i thought it was a 95, i even got the guy to read me the VIN down the phone lol. If you look hard enough you will find one, i've been trying to get hold of one ever since i heard of them haha.
-
Sound Dave, and yeah i'll be in Glasgow from 19th for a week.
-
Or yeah someone else might be able to dig it out, was a few months back now.
-
Nice pic Dave ^^ Afraid not Dan, it wasnt a build thread, someone had seen it on their facebook feed or something and linked it across. It was literally a pic or two and some speculation as to what type of charger it was.
-
Thanks guys, yeah its a Soliel L base spec with the windy windows etc. It looks very like yours DevonGT Aye Ryan i got it from Russell and Gary@GBR owned it before him. I cant wait to get it going Shorty, TB pipes are off atm and battery is flat but i'll have a bash tomorrow. Cheers Lew, told ya Unfortunately not Azz, its a JDM auto Carat, i dont know what to do with it now. What do you mean Paul haha, this can only get better So, plans for this are to get it up and running tomorrow Then collect all the parts for a conversion, there aren't many because the simil
