I have that too, always envious of other people's GTi's! Nice touch with the Ronals by the new owner. I agree with Emma about the splitter, but I bet it does grow on you. When I slapped my Merc trims on I thought they looked a bit odd but they have really grown on me!

The Lupo is going to be brilliant with its new heart, looking forward to hearing about that one...

Ha, i love it tiggy!

Tigz did you have a raceland or supersprint manifold on a 6n2 engine?

If so what did you do regards the lambda sensor extension?

Yeah, all i did was get a little cable from Halfrauds one sunday afternoon, cut the wire and soldered and heat shrank the extra cable in place.
Really straight forward to do.
Unplug it, undo the bolt in the exhaust and do it out the car, its much easier :)

Ha excellent, saw both of those polos at bigfattour. Apparentely your old 6n2 scraped all the way into the car park. Not surprised, it is silly low. Do like the wheels though.
Bet the 6n is a weapon. Bodywork looked s**t when i saw it but looks like youve sorted that nicely. I overheard some guys say the engine was out of a Seat. Not sure what difference there is though to be honest.

The engine is a 'APP' engine which was in a 180bhp Audi TT, I do not know if the engine was used in a Seat also?
The Turbo is a KO3S, the intake is Cupra 225 R and the ECU is Emerald.

Yeah it did look pretty s**t lol
Looks crap now, but I like it :D


Glad you've sorted the sender unit, easy job once you get started eh?
