Hello all,
So I've gotten to the point with my MK4 that its coming off the road as a daily come this fall for most likely a boosted 24V setup. Maybe. I donno. I haven't completely made up my mind yet. Might drop a 3.6 VR6 and make it a N/A beast if I can source one of those motors for cheap.
Pictures of the MK4:
Whipped this trunk setup together 48 hrs before driving 1400 miles to SOWO ha
New wheels are on the way courtesy of CCW.. Should be here next week sometime.
Anyhoo, I just picked this thing up earlier this week for a good deal. 185,000 miles. New tranny, timing belt just done, cam chain tensioners just done, new bilsteins, blah blah. Fe issues cosmetically but nothing too bad considering its 13 years old with a shitload of miles. Still toying with the idea of bagging it, but they don't go low without lots of work.. Most likely going to pick up a set of ST coils for it, a nicer set of wheels, chop the muffler off it and daily it while the MK4 gets built.
Only picture I have of it right now, bone stock D2 A8:
Immediate plans are to pull the purpleish tint, give her a good detail and once over. Rear brake lines need to be replaced, headlight sensor is held together with chicken wire lol, I need to find a vacuum leak in the locking system as well. The car won't lock/unlock with the fob or door switches... Not looking forward to that! Front torque mount is broken too.
Basically I want to clone this car, in fact if he PM's me back I may buy those wheels off him along with a few other bits. If not a buddy of mine has some Gallardo reps ill prob pick up but theyreweak sizes so I donno.
Cheers!
