VR6_K Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) After a 121mile each way I finally picked up a Sport as I've been after one for a couple weeks. It's not exactly in the best condition body-wise as the previous owner's ex girlfriend kicked in both rear 1/4s, boot, bonnet and a wing. But I got it quite cheap My mate had hardly used pads and discs off his polo gti so I decided to fit them but the discs were too thick!! Bought some standard discs in the end but still used the green stuffMods:- Coilovers (not sure what they are but theyre comfy)- K&N Air filter- Catback systemPlans:- Replace engine- Make the car mechanically sound- Sort out bodywork- 15" Ronal Turbo's Edited February 7, 2012 by VR6_K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VR6_K Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Get this running mechanically sweet then sort out the body work, hopefully show worthy by next year. If this engine gives me problems I have got a polo gti engine sitting in the garage but thats last resort, I dont really want to do that.

VR6_K Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 After much thought and annoying effort to get this engine running right, I've decided to fit a new lump. Should be worth it in the long run got a new engine sitting at the side already just been serviced and cambelt done, so should be getting it done in the next few weeks. This car has really p****d me off but I'm determinded to get it sorted!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
