R32 Gtst Road going tracker!!

[dil]

Well most of you will know this car since Alan had it, I bought it off him a few weeks ago now.

I first bought this for a nice road car and that it is, the car is mint and unbelievably comfortable for how low it is!

Since then its purpose has changed slightly

As Watergrasshill is now reopen I decided to put some money into the car to get it on track as well as keeping it as a road car.

This is how I bought it:




As it stands now it looks the exact same I think Alan did a perfect job with how it looks so it will remain this way, not going to spend money on cosmetic bits!



Only a few updates since I've had it:

- I put a Defi link controller and Defi boost gauge in.

- Oil temp, Oil pressure, Water temp gauges.

- East Bear fixed back seat.

- Suede Deep Dish & Boss.

- Snap off boss adaptor.

- Mishimoto 50mm Alloy rad.

- Glitter Gear knob.


The new rad:



Old Vs. New:



Fitted:



Seat fitted:



3 gauges & Defi link cont.:



Boost Gauge:



Deep dish & snap off:



Awesome sexy glitter knob :




In a bad way for a wash!






I have an Oil cooler on the way so will fit that when it arrives.

Have a harness I must put in too, will most likely remove rear seats.

Clutch went in it so have one on order and will be fitted then.

Head to exhaust manifold gasket needs doing so that will be done too.

Picking up a Hydro from iangsr20 on this weekend so will have that fitted shortly too.

Hoping to have it back running 100% in a month or so and hopefully get some drift days in in the new year.


Other plans for it at the moment is a full Dash dodger cage when one pops up and sort out a proper diff, although the one in it locks up fine every time I want to get a proper 2 way or just weld it for the time being.


few latest pics of it:







I'm just starting with some track drifting so I'm hoping some people will be able to tell me what essential bits I will need??!!!

I think it slipped on me a few times but nothing major, had it out for a spin then last week and it just went in me, weird cause it was never slipping that bad before better it went now though rather than at a drift day ha
