Had this a couple of months now so thought i'd start a thread...
when i bought the car i got told it had a new gearbox fitted, just needed bodywork sorting bleh bleh bleh....
basically a load of shit, diff bearings collapsed after 3 weeks, clutch was fubared when the box came out, cambelt was about to snap, alternator belt was basicaly in 2 halves, wrong front bumper and splitter, and just generally been dogged by the previous owner a supposed "audi technican" haha my arse, will let pics tell the story..
when i got it, badly painted black bonnet, bra hiding dents on the bonnet, gash ride height, n/s/f xenon no working, wheels corroded to high hell, headunit wired directly to the battery live and earth, generally in shit order with free of charge GASH audi running lights
the start....
i then got it home, re-con gearbox with fresh diff and uprated bolts for the diff as there know for having rivets in standard, New cluth kit and release bearing, Rewired the stereo into a new ISO connector as opposed to diggishly wired to the battery. Genuine cambelt and tensioner kit fitted, waterpump, coolant temp sensor replaced, new cam sensor and repaired some cam sensor wiring where it was broken. car given a general mint up, and some JOM coilovers fitted, replaced the D2S xenon bulbs from the factory ones for 5k ones as one was fubared, Heko wind deflectors fitted too.
Added a genuine GTi splitter too and painted the front badge black
Some more general cleaning, down and out sticker added and wheels buftied more.
Then chucked the bra back on to visit oulton park for a bit of a change and also painted the inside of the wheels graphite grey and lowered the rear a tad more so it sits more "dub" but not too unsociable
Recently had the bonnet painted, fitted an AVX33 headunit, speaker adaptors have turned up too, and some eibach camber bolts for the front,
Got some 7 and 8 inch Porsche D90's ion my garage too with 8 hub adaptors lol but undecided whether to fit them of sell and get some pro race 3's

Gearbox is such a common problem, that why i got a reconned one with a bill of 650 for the privalidge lol
got my old box there which will be rebuilt just incase, maybe even with an LSD
Unsure on the red stripe tbh mate, does need something to break the front up, but am thinking yellow fogs and yellow main beam bulbs would go down a treat

i am swinging towards the porsches, but love to drive the car really hard so stretched tyres may not be the best so am a bit unsure.
but could always just have 2 sets of wheels and swop and change i supose, damn cars lol
