Flynn Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 A mates just managed to find a GTti after listening to me bang on about my old one. He cleans windows and found it parked up rotting and managed a to strike up a deal for it. Bit of a state but I've shown him your build as inspiration and with a bit of luck there will be another one saved!Great progress as always, love the fact I get to see someone doing what I'd always planned!

Ollieh17 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Posted June 17, 2016 sweet man handle like a pro do you mind taking some measurements of them ?? hub slot with and hight from topmount to bottom mounting hole of the hub bolts Can do! For the starlet? Front golf mk2 coilovers fit with the hole enlarging slightly so i reckon starlet ones could fit. Rears are different to starlet as also have hub mounting holes like the fronts.

Ollieh17 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Front coilovers on and ride height set. Gotta do some arch work and fit camber bolts on the rear to get some 195 50 tires onSensible ride height for trackStandard wheels on rather than sit on axle stands. Low on 14sTracking is miles out now so need to get that down and get the coilover socks. Edited June 23, 2016 by Ollieh17 Quote

Ollieh17 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 I never really go out and about in it much tbh Quote
Calum122 Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Nah mate me neither. Only done 500 miles in my car since owning it lol Looks good though mate. Haven't messed about lol Quote
Pikey009 Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Love the car mate, will be interested to see how you get on with the det3. Who's mapping it for you? Quote
Ollieh17 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 Either ed at fusion or see how a friend of a friend gets on with it. Works for a big ecu company Quote
Ollieh17 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Posted September 7, 2016 Was meant to do the hill climb at retrorides in this, but leaving things last minute i didn't have time to sort a clutch issue. It really was shit. The clutch is custom with two diaphragms to be able to handle the power i want. No one else has ran this type and it fouled badly on the gbox.Hopefully get the box back on and all sorted in time for my 15min session at forge action day this weekend.Picked up a set of 4 direzzas ready to stick on. Should handle and grip amazingly. Quote
Ollieh17 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Posted August 21, 2017 Almost a year on, made retrorides this year and made it up the hill. Quote
Ollieh17 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Posted August 21, 2017 Was looking great yesterday mate! cheers mate. Guessing you werent there in the GT? Quote
Calum122 Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 cheers mate. Guessing you werent there in the GT? Nah mate, doesn't work...standard. Quote

Ollieh17 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Posted August 30, 2017 Cheers mate. Awful photo though haha Quote
Pikey009 Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 Ha ha yep yours are way better- always wanted to get to that event. I need to get myself an older car to have a go up the hill Have you got anymore pics of the car? Always loved them Quote
Ollieh17 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Posted August 30, 2017 Easily the best event of the year in my opinion. So much variety compared to Japfests etc. I'd be very surprised if anyone could go to the show and not see a car they have never seen before. Quote
