About My car

Current Car
GTO T.T.
Current Cars Mods.
Fitted with a Mk4 '99 spec full Mitsubishi bodykit. I have recently rebuilt the engine and replaced a couple of bits in the gearbox.

A new oil cooler, F.M.I.C. slimline fans and new turbo's are already on the car.
The exhaust is one pipe from each turbo leading to twin outlets on each side at the rear, this coupled with a separate air filter for each tub makes for a gorgeous sound.
The management is controlled by a KMS standalone unit.
The front brakes are six pot Rotora with 355mm discs. Tein coilover suspension is fitted all round.
She sits on 19" chrome rims shod with Goodyear Eagle F1's.
There are plenty of chromed bits that have been added since the engine bay phots were taken. I'll upload more phots when i have some at hand.
Much more to do when time permits.

    Thank you, it's getting there. It's one of those things that you start and before you know it, you're nowhere the end. Next is new alloys, paintjob, new leather blah blah. I also need to update my spec list as there are other mods.

    Hi i have a manual fto gr and the engine's developed a knocking/tapping noise. Initially it would only last seconds if it happenned at all but now its getting worse. Oil was changed last July, it did help a bit. Is it just that the oil needs changing more regular?

    Hi, thank you. The plenum was polished painfully with a combination of power tools and the hands and wet or dry until it was suitable to put on the buffer. We do those sort of things here in the workshop, although polishing large items like this isn't really what we are set up for.
    We make all the other pipework here in the workshop, in stainless or aluminium.
