The NAD

[DeeTurbo]

I don't think there is an anti roll on these. If you get one off a gti it should help the handling. Shit you'll probably need the wishbones as well.

[samass]

Awesome, cheers Chris

Dee, there is a rear arb, but not a front one, I've got one to go on, just haven't got round to it lol, but chances are I'm buying a gti for parts soon so ill nick a bunch of stuff off it

[Niall]

Put this engine in the gti? That shell is pretty f*cked in all fairness!

[DeeTurbo]

Haha I was going to say the same thing. Doesn't the gti have other bits bolted to the chassis to make it stiffer?

[Dum-Dum]

LOL when Sam said "buy for parts" I'd kinda assumed the shell was the part he was after

[samass]

Nah, the one I'm looking at isn't the great either, but would only need a new bonnet and bumper, but cba with the gti insurance group

[td_dan]

ORLY?

hmm.

china blue 1.5GTD?

[Niall]

Yeah man. We all know china blue is the best colour

[samass]

meh. it'd look better if i get matt to paint it white tbh

[Niall]

No then it would just look like a spastic had smashed it through play group on finger painting day

[Dum-Dum]

meh. it'd look better if i get matt to paint it white tbh

(i know you were joking)

[samass]

[Poodle]

Sweet as! Haha thought you might like it, finally got round to making the gif lol

Next step is get it back on the road really, the cup car paddle clutch will go in at some point with the new engine.

It is, yeah

[darrenjlobb]

It wont, it will be a 106 GTI 1.5 NAD, once a "GTI" always a "GTI" you can only change the engine capacity. You will always insure it as a gti no matter what.

IMO tho, isnt the fact the car looks like a nadbus that no one cares about half the point? I think thats why its so epic lol!

[Dum-Dum]

To be fair i cant see it being much more to insure in a GTi shell what with the fact its already quite modified and more powerful than a GTi

[samass]

There is that Darren. I think if I were to reshell it I'd just get another nad shell or another pov spec model. But a few hours with a welder and this one will be alright for another few years anyway lol

I do enjoy it getting laughed at when i pull up at lights and it's cluttering away, looking like it might just fall apart, and leave those laughing on a cloud of coal as i zip away unexpectedly quickly lol

Plus, this way I don't have to care about the paint, and whose car would niall and grant jump all over if i had a nice car?

[Grant]

Keep it sleeper dude. Thats half of whats amazing! Wouldnt be the same if it looked like a gti

[Dum-Dum]

Yeah TBF it is an epic sleeper and we all love abusing your car

[Alee83]

Yeah TBF it is an epic sleeper and we all love abusing your car

Just the car...?

Giggity...

leaving people standing at the lights in a car that no one suspects or even out doing them, is a right scream and a half!
I may have to look at this option with my rover metro too, reshell it with a non sunroof 1.1c shell, sad thing is I will lose the reg and gta,

[Chris_90]

Any news on this have you managed to fix the oil plate back ok?

[samass]

not yet, i pretty much just forgot about it while i was at fcs, gunna be trying to order parts up over the next few days

[Chris_90]

What Parts? You re-threading it?

[samass]

ish, im gunna try get hold of a replacement insert, and a new sandwich plate nut thing and hope that solves my issue. i might sack off the oil plate with the sensors and tap into the oil pressure switch hole instead, try and reduce the areas of potential leaks. and order a new engine and start rebuilding it

Or you could actually fit a oil cooler and t off one of the pipes? Least you will have cooler oil lol

[samass]
