Eddy's n/a Nile

[eddy_gti6]

Not really been on here much but al get a thread up anyway. Started my project thread on the gti6 forum so a lot has been done since buying the car but a quick run through should give you lot an idea of whats been going on. I will let the pics do the talking for now.

I bought myself a GTi6 on new years eve with the Plan to build another track toy again and keep the estate as a run around and work car but after driving the 6 back from Edinburgh i soon changed my mind about stripping it out like my last one and keeping a full interior! Anyway here is when i got it. 1.2s straight on




Got it home New years day and cracked on. Gaz coilovers went on with some adjustable top mounts. Also fitted some new track rod ends and drop links while I was on. Turn in and handling Feels a hell off a lot better now, noticed a good difference. Still need tracking checked tho.

Maniflow and magnex system took from an ex BTCC 306




Somehow ended up with 2 out of 4 know to have been made inlets haha

Inlet cleaned and painted - cam details




Back up and running




Trip to a mates in scotland to collect more bits and help fitting spare rear axle with solid mounts









Then had a little fun with this on my way home B)



Little bored after work so I have changed my clocks a bit. Fitted a phase 3 surround and a little carbon too




Fitted my inlet on my old engine to see how it would fit and see what clearance would be like. PAS relocation kit is needed what I already knew about and dont think its going to fit with the standard rad. Good job I have a 60mm r5 turbo alloy rad. Didnt realise how big it actually is before I fitted it onto the engine.

FINALLY!!!

Weekend just gone i got round to changing my martix . Wasnt as bad as I was expecting to be honest. Took around 2 and a half hours start to finish then an extra hour on top of that to get that stupid break light switch back in what had fell out when we pulled the dash out!!! Also removed the heavy sound proofing from behind the dash as well while the dash was out.
By the look of it the O rings failed on the old matrix
