finally guna start a project thread i bought my 5 early summer of this year and have to say that it has been one of the best purchases i have made! this is how i got it
it was standard apart from the wheels couple of hoses boost gauge scorpion exhaust and clutch.
i dint really use it much when i first bought it until a change in jobs forced me to, it ran ok for a wile until the alternator went i got another recon one and that dint work either lol all working now tho with the 3rd alternator
then i joined rtoc and the reactions were good from my car but few people had said different wheels and i was also thinking that so now it has a set of ronal turbos that i got at a decent price. wanted more power markey markey got in contact and said what i needed with power i wanted then i spent the next few weeks getting the parts together for mark to get them on. a t2/t25
i also picked this up from dj when i picked my wheels up
the first weekend did'nt go well first we had the wrong oil feed so that involved a trip to portmouth to get the right one then after we got that i had a dodgy camshaft after it wouldnt idle for sh*t we got on the fone to mike straight away for another blue seal headgasket and a piper 270 cam mike got these sent out very fast thank you mike
i have the car back now and after a trip to mike over the holidays i have alot more bits for it this is how the engine was before
and now
and this is how it looks now
i have also bought a k-tec 2 1/2 inch down pipe and this
i cannot thank mark and mike for helping me get the car how it is now!
