Hi guys, this is my first thread. Well I'm from Guatemala City, Central America. I have a MK1 FR with some mods:
Samco Inlet Pipe
Forge 007 DV
Forge IC pipe to TB
3'' Miltek Downpipe
Remus Muffler
AFE Airbox
K&N Air Filter
SPEC Stage 1 Clutch
2.0T Coils with ECS Tuning installation plate
Revo Stage 2
ECS Tuning 22.5mm rear spacers
H&R 19mm front spacers
Doing 150k kms
Still to do:
FMIC
2.5'' catback
Street Edge Coilovers
Well, the thing is that I had a boost leak, so instead of giving 22psi peak, it was giving 17psi, still it had 195whp, fixed the leak and in the testing, a water split pipe didn't hold the pressure and broke, water ran empty and I overheated the engine. Well for my luck the head gasket got burned and now I'm replacing it. I'm doing all the work, and is going to be just for parts about £400. In my country it is kinda expensive, I don't know if you guys feel it cheap. Parts I bought are only Victor Reinz and Vaico, just for the record.
Here are some pics of my car and the work so far:
Photoshoot
Engine bay
Before starting the tear apart
Engine Block
Engine parts
Some of the parts I´m about to replace
Well, here is my car, presenting to you, hope you like it!!!!
