The "other" one, My daily

[pistol pete]

Aside from the racecar (another thread on here)
a friend has let me daily her mk3 for the lat few months, to such an extent its pretty much mine now


In the past 18 months its had (mostly from my Red edition Racecar)
FL engine
FL red interior
SP 17" alloys
Red edition roof.

it already had
TTE style bar
TTE Exhuast
(neither of these I particularly like and would like to change)
I think also TTE lowering springs.

The suspension is pretty tired so looking at buying to BC's this week. Meister Rs are out of stock for at least 6 weeks and I'm impatient.
Its a Pre-facelift with only 72K on the clock

It definitely needs more power, not sure how to get that yet. I need to figure out the actuall costs of a home brew turbo kit.. Mainly ECU control. whats the cheapest way to do this?
I do like the way the racecar 2zz rev's tempted to do that, but i already have a 2zz so a turbo would be good, then i know how to turbo my 2zz

Also very tempted to wrap it bright green just .. well.. cos
I haven't got any pics with the SP alloys on yet

Make it faster.. Turbo/2zz
Coilovers
ARB's
New single exit exhaust

Remove TTE style bar
Some different seats, set of corbeau road seats or similar

Not in that order

while all apart, i had my goodridge braided hoses, which were for the Racecar. but the brake lines won't come apart ear on that.. so i have put them on this one.
also painted the calipers]IMG_20210822_124909 by Pete Mason, on Flickr

back on the floor took the car out many times with height adjustment getting it all just how i want it (i live on an unmade road so wanted close to stock height so it would not grind out on my road).

The roof has been very dirty and marked so I spent a long time cleanign the roof and sealing it. made a good difference
