HEY GUYS!

After a long journey (blood sweat and tears to raise cash and the horrific drive from adeleide to melbourne on a twinplate clutch with a rating of 1/10 driveability... one hell of a drive i must say ) i've finally bought another schweet soarer. As some may know i written off my old manual tt but all things happen for a reason right? Well i'm back with a better and meaner black on black manual which in my opinion looks greater than my old one. Tell us what you think =]

Looks like a good find Tony, I personally think the side skirts are too big, but they aren't really horrible.

Just a tip on washing, I would stay away from car washes, the tools and detergents they use are really not good for paintwork. Much better to wash yourself with a quality detergent and a wool or microfibre washmit. Of course I don't know if you are on water restrictions or not, so you may not have a lot of options.

Here are the mod's.

Turbosmart FMIC
Cold Air Intake with Drift Pod filter
Front strut brace
Greddy Oil Catch can
3" High flow dump pipes
3" Straight through exhaust WITH 4" HKS CANNON
BOSCH 044 Fuel pump
Rebuilt r154 Gearbox
EXEDY Single plate Heavy Duty Clutch
Torsen LSD
Tein HR coilovers Rear
HSD coilovers Front
HKS EVC IV Boost controller
Apexi boost gauge
Autometer air/fuel gauge
Momo Steering wheel

EBC Green stuff pads front

ADR Braided Brake lines
Boomerang 2 Way Remote Start Alarm System

Still running on standard turbos and running 1 bar of boost. The previous owner claimed it was making 220rwkw.

James, I will definitely get some better pictures up as i took these with my camera phone haha. Looks like it needs a better scenery. I found this baby on carsales. At first i thought it was an average car but pictures don't do justice for this one.

Mark, I'm planning to own this car for at least five years this time as my old one was owned for 6 months before it had a confrontation with mother nature HAHA (hitting a tree).

Matthew, I like the wide look. It makes the car look mean as. We're on water restrictions at the moment so car wash is the best option =[

I'd heed this advice Tony, especially since your car is black. If you continue to use these car wash and hand car wash places, you will notice large swirl marks developing in your paint that will be VERY visible in the sun. If not one of those types to nitpick though, you might not care.

This is what prompted me to respray my car and I have since been the only person to wash the car.

Then again, I'm pretty anal lol.
