It's about time I got some pictures of this up on here. Been getting a lot of advice and I don't have a build thread.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exterior is largely unchanged. I've just tidied up the front bumper fixings. It's still not right though.

I've been having injector and boost issues lately.

First injector went.

Resulting in the injector breaking on removal.

 

So the plenum had to come off giving me an excuse to tidy things up and have a look around.

 

Lots of deletes done. Still more to do.

 

Now I'm tackling a code 34. Resistor is in but I'm still not getting full boost.

 

It has a suspension clonk and squeak which I'm sure is down to poly bushes but needs full investigation.

 

Plans realistically for me are get it lower. Louder. Faster and clean up.

Very nice mate is it a recent purchase? Didn't it used to belong to another forum member Paul?

I believe it has been round the forum a bit. It came with alot of johnwayne membership stuff. And I know another member done some welding on it.

The interior still needs alot of cleaning. The suede parts are matted with dirt.

I think you are thinking of PaulC Baz, that car was broken up - this one did remind me of it as well though.

Very nice looking UK TT. Look forward to seeing the progress.

I almost bough this car (twice) for the parts mainly. Will be very nice with some tidying up!

For parts! So I've saved this car. That feels good.

Lots of small issues with it like, the turbos smoke a little puff every now and then. They're certainly not gone like the ad said they were.

Something is dripping oil an I get the burnt smell through the cockpit. Irregular idle. Consult is showing the idle control valve at 35%. And this boost issue.

And the drivers door sticks out.

And the boot is a bit of a mess. Bad paint and bad prep so that will need addressing. And I'm fighting with some blue tint glue on the rear window.

I have also found some over spray around the car.

Hows that car for rust underneath?

 

I'm sure I mind seeing posts sometime in the past, and it was rusting everywhere?

I was going to basically swap a bunch of stuff from mine as I liked the 99 spec parts, but didn't want to restore that one. bad idle and boost sounds like a badass boost leak to me?

I think I've had it 6 or 7 months.

There's no real rust underneath. There was alot that another member cut out and reinforced. But I've had a look and it all seems sound under there.

 

I have found some boost leaks in the past and repaired. Idle starts at 1200 then warms and comes to about 800. But it is up and down a bit sometimes. Id still like to do a leak test when I've got time because something's not right.
