Hi all,
As I have not posted much on this forum I thought why not start with my most recent purchase:
![[Image: 360.jpg]](https://myalbum.com/photo/rLUbV89KR7vc/360.jpg)
This is not a GTi6 but as it was imported from Germany many many years ago, it is a S16.
Not in the best shape on the outside, but for me what is under the bonnet was more important: a RFS engine with service history of 11 years!
I was only allowed to buy it if it would not be another project as I already have a few projects ongoing: '96 XSi with a RFS engine fitted, and '98 phase 2 GTi6 which in restoration. Besides these projects I also own a 306 convertible and my girlfriend has a 206 Griffe SW. And last but not least, together with a friend I am building a 405 "Pikes Peak".
The S16 I wanted because of a few reasons:
1 - I miss my GTi while it is at the paint shop;
2 - It was a bargain;
3 - It does not need any technical adjustments and repairs to be driven (hence "no project").
Things on my list to be changed / repaired (in random order):
1 - Wheels;
2 - Intermittent wipers are not working properly;
3 - Rear lights (now Lexus style. I do not like that);
4 - Steering wheel (a bit sticky of bad leather);
5 - Strange vibration when taking left corner on highway (highway exit) on front. Any suggestions what this might be caused by?
6 - "New" bonnet with less dents;
7 - New exhaust or a better fitting of current one.
8 - New brake discs and pad front and back.
More pictures will follow!
