Back story.


Picked this car up last winter drove it pretty much as I got it until, someone turned into me on 75 roughly two months ago.

At the time, the car had a Kiggly Trans with a shift kit, Kiggly spec Crower cams, adjustable cam gears, DSMlink v.0001(one of the first systems made), a TRE ported Big16g, o2 housing and manifold, Apexi front mount, Ground Control coil overs on KYB AGXs.

I picked this up as a daily, its a 96 TSi auto fwd. Mostly stock with just a few little things done.

Day one, its been sitting in that spot for 4-5 years.

We threw a battery in it, and it fired right up!

Upgrade time!

I took out the stock head unit and 1997 CD changer goodies and replaced them with a temporary double din.

Next up was to ditch all the stock speakers. Which all worked great and were as clear as could be for junk paper coned OEM things. MTX 6x9s went into the rear, Polk 6.5s went up front.

It got its first wash in 4/5 years.

Then I replaced the air filter from 1997!! Weapon R!!!!!!! That nifty adapter did not work so, its just sitting in the parts box waiting for a use.

Then came the tint, 15% on all the windows and 50% on the windshield.

I couldn't stand the lame sunroof that was in the car so, I took care of its transparency issues.

After:

The clear spots have since been fixed.

I had to add the anti-hellflush/stance sticker.

Also, got rid of the ghetto thumper Alpine Type R and 5 channel Alphasonik amp for a space saving set up. The wiring has since been cleaned up.

Shortly followed by something to have some fun with.
Hellafunctionalflush will be had now.

A little TLC later.

Still not fully on the ground.

Then, I was given this for helping a friend move so, I switched from e85 that summer to this for a few tanks.

I think it needs a tune... The exhaust isnt black any more.

I need to run that all the time, just for the smell alone.

I also decided to stop being lazy and lower it a bit.

why was it sitting if it ran

In between getting the hood and actually putting it on, the car got hit. A guy turned into me at speed on i75 on my way into work. Luckily, it was just wheel to wheel and tweeked the sub frame. No body damage but, the wheel is dead. Also, this caused me to pick up a new 2012 Focus which is a million times better to drive. All though, its infinitely times slower.

So, to roll the car around on, I got some junk ricer wheels which, will be replaced with something far better.


Thanks to Matt and Greg, I picked up a new hood for the car. The stock one was starting to rust where the seam sealer was chipped off of it.

This still needs to get painted to match the car.

As of today.
Divided T4 HX40, still think Im going to change this before it comes out though. I really want to go top mount with a better turbo.

Those gates are going to go too. If anyone wants two 38mm Vband gates that are new, let me know.

Rest of the set up this year:
Kiggly trans
Garret intercooler with junk short route junk(I need to have the end take cut off and made it into a side to side)
4" turbo back(stainless down pipe, aluminum cat back)
Kiggly spec Crower cams(for sale)
Crower ti retainers.
Redjack Divided T4 manifold
Twin 38mm waste gates( soon to be replaced with Tials)
New aluminum cold piping with Tial 50mm or Procharger race valve(coming soon).
Big trans cooler.
Big oil cooler.
ID2000s
Aeromotive either A1000 or 340 Stealth.
Adjustable cam gears.

why was it sitting if it ran

The owner lost the time to mess with it then, lost interest in the car fully when he got a new Lancer Ralliart. It became one of those, one day, Ill get around to driving it again type deals. I got tired of it sitting there and wanted something other than my Mark 7 to drive everyday so, I offered him some cash and he took it after a few weeks of thinking about it.

Also, I have almost a full AWD swap now. I just need to source a trans then get the carrier bearing mounts. Have Kiggly go through the AWD trans, have Shep go through the Tcase and rear end then, finally, install it all.

 

[cjmatt]

I've got a new tial waste gate sittin here in the box if you're interested

 

[StockNotch]

Finally got some time, the turbo is actually bolted on now, the feed/return lines are made, the intercooler piping is finished, the speed density stuff is in and wired. Now, its just get a radiator and one coupler then I can fire it. Then its off to get a down pipe made for it.

Fired it today on the temp gates.

The cam timing still needs to be set so, it will change a little.

The cam gears allow for 10* +/- of straight up.
