project " Red October " the keeper I think lol

Hi all

Been a while since I was on, I had a vrs then swapped for a TDI then sold the tdi and got a 172, the 172 broke badly, timing belt!!! So I messed around for a bit with boring stuff, Scénic, kangoo van and some more I don't want to admit to lol

But deep down I missed my vrs so I got a new one!!

2001 low spec red vrs, 120000 miles on the clock totally standard!!

Pics to follow,

I started by changing the belt, wasn't going to make the same mistake as the 172!

Then big mouth conversion then recall on the coil packs, new disks and pads on the back and a new wheel bearing and a rear beam as I lost it last year in the snow

:(,

Decided it was time for some fun stuff so I wired in a jvc cd player, sub and amp and got to work on my fmic and started fitting the boost gauge, also all new rubber. 205 40 17 toyo T1R's.

That's the build so far, I will get some pics up tonight.

Thoughts?

sounds good, but doesn't it want 225/45/17 rubber ? (or OE 205/50/17)

 

 

fmic is high on my list of things to do
