Yea ! when I got hold of it was from a couple of shady looking people in Bicester haha I'm in swindon with it now ,
It had 79k on it I think when I got it ,
I had to take the cone off because I couldn't stand dath vader In the dash board personally ,
I love it , it's such a quick motor for what it is now after AMD mapped it ,
I took the JOMS off they where dead when I got it so bouncy no damping left and put pro sport on but their rubbish too nothing but build quality problems so I got another set of joms in the garage to fit least they don't fall apart
I'm fitting power fold mirrors soon
Boot lip spoiler
Auto lights
Double din
And would like to go AWD and ko4 on air one day
Are you local or did it end up miles away? Credit to you , put some pucka mods on !
4wd is do able like you said cut the floor pan or get a shell from the continent , but is only a dream
My rear drivers side door leaked so much when I got it , but I had to put a new door lock unit in it so sealed it up when I did that
Also had some rust bubbling through on the sill off that door from the trapped water I guess ? So sorted that too .
Also have you ever noticed all of the wheels are slightly different none of them match up ?
Most annoying thing is the bloody dash board squeaks on cold mornings need to look at that
you will struggle to go 4wd, it's a massive job because you will have to cut out the rear floor pan and replace it with one from a 4motion golf or A3/S3 quattro.
Yeah sorry didn't mean to put a downer on your thread,just thought it would be nice to shed some light on the history, I'm picking my new one up Saturday if it's worth modding maybe I'll see you at a future meet, really glad to see it on here though it really is a good car I was amazed how smooth the gearbox was aswellThanks guys , I'm so glad to know I purchased a good egg !
