Track Car Project and parts for sale:
Red 1999 Pug 206 2.0 GTI
No MOT and No Tax (Currently Sorned)
Private Plate included - L40 RAX
Car has been stripped internally and all parts not need for the car to run have been sold.
The dash, dials, indicators and controls etc are still there.
Heater matrix water pipes and air con pipes have been capped inside the engine bay.
Electrics for rear lights etc have been fully rewired to run down passengers side.
17" alloys
Steering wheel & boss
Haynes Manual
Push button starter
Technix fully adjustable coilovers, top mounts and rear shocks
Luke 3 Point Harness
Pair of Brembo Calipers and nearly new pads
3" Rolled Tip Exhaust
Went down tonight to sign over the car to me and arrange getting it moved to my house but whilst i was there couldnt resist bringing the brembo calipers and colivers home which are probably worth more than the £310 i paid for everything, so all in all i reckon i got a bargain.
When i get it up the road tuesday im gonna stick my spare seats in it and hopefully get it booked in for an mot as i believe you dont actually need a dashboard to pass an mot?

#3: Re: Johnk other gti project Author: johnk, Location: Fife, ScotlandPosted: Sun Mar 14, 2010 3:13 pm ---- the dash is there but i dont want to put it back in, want to keep it stripped out altho might be hard to de-mist the windows in the mornings! and not keen on the wheels so they'll be getting sold Last edited by johnk on Sun Mar 14, 2010 3:20 pm; edited 1 time in total

Cheeky! this one does run just lacks interior lol! my blue ones nearly there aswell ecu is being sent to bluehawk to get unlocked then local auto electrician to get wiring loom done
brembo calipers and coilovers are going on my blue 1 aswell as the gti doesnt really need bigger brakes.
#7: Re: Johnk other gti project Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Sun Mar 14, 2010 3:59 pm ---- I was very close to buying this!
Just transporting it to where I am would cost about £300 so it wasn't feasable.

lucky it was only 4miles from me
#9: Re: Johnk other gti project Author: johnk, Location: Fife, ScotlandPosted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 2:17 pm ---- went and played with the car today after work for the 1st time since i bought it, mounted the steering wheel to try make things easier then set about trying to sort the interior loom out, managed to get a few wires plugged in, connected battery and tried to start the car....didnt start but it was turning over so thats progress!.
will be up early tomorrow try get it running and the wires sorted out although i am struggling....i hate wires any one close by any good with wiring is welcome to pop along lol.
wheels are forsale if anyone wants them
#10: Re: Johnk other gti project Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 2:32 pm ---- Looking not too bad. Thing is, you'll only need a few of those wires if it's going to be a track car in the main?
#11: Re: Johnk other gti project Author: johnk, Location: Fife, ScotlandPosted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 2:37 pm ---- yeah just really need the wires to make it run, bit gutted the guy i bought it off has cut the wiring for the electric mirrors and windows off! which ill be needing the windows to open so trip to the scrapyard is needed i think.
#12: Re: Johnk other gti project Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 3:41 pm ---- Aye probably. I have an interior loom kicking about for something (think it's from a gti-180) I think myself/graham will have mashed the wiring to give to the people who want the mirrors anyway
Careful with what you go about cutting in burnside, they seem to be awful strict these days

#19: Re: Johnk other gti project Author: plan_D, Location: Alderley Edge, CheshirePosted: Fri Apr 02, 2010 11:07 pm ---- Wiring's fun; if it's simple replacement wiring, you should have all the diagrams at hand.

205 wiring is wee wee easy mate, we got our main loom down to 10 wires, as we are using carbs
Plus john its a simple swap
Its more fun when you have to diagnose what each wire does, and where it goes

It is now worse than this!
#25: Re: Johnk other gti project Author: plan_D, Location: Alderley Edge, CheshirePosted: Mon Apr 05, 2010 7:45 am ---- Your best starting point is make the rats nest you have into something neat; break down the wiring into the individual systems of the car - wiring should always look neat and tidy.
#26: Re: Johnk other gti project Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Mon Apr 05, 2010 7:51 am ---- lol oh dear john, rather you than me mate lol
