This is my vrt had it about 6 weeks so far the only thing I've is have a new exhaust fitted because it was way too loud.

Brief spec is: Woosner forged pistons

Shot peened rods

Pelequin diff

Gt35r turbo

450cc injectors

H&R coilovers

G60 brakes

Bbs replica wheels

It's running united motorsport software with an apexi avcr boost controller set at a max of 1.4 bar and 1.25 for daily driving.

After winter main plan is some new wheels to be able to fit bigger brakes

Here's a couple of my mk1 too it's just a bog standard 1.1 with 16" rs' and coilovers

I think the MK2 is a re-incarnation of a grey/silver MK2 that we built for a local guy.

 

It was then sold to a guy in essex, and to cut a long story short, was reshelled in essex into what I think the car pictured above.

 

If the car is to the same spec. that we built, then the car, specifically the engine is wanting for nothing. It had a hand crafted full 3" stainless exhaust from the turbo back. 1.06 turbine GT35R turbo etc.

The block was a 2.8 bored to 82mm with forged low compression pistons. The engine was built from the ground up with a re-polished crankshaft and brand new bearings. I believe the rods are a set chosen from a batch of stock rods and shot peened.

 

I dont remember which clutch was fitted, I believe by the time it wrecked a few gearboxes that diesel a diesel final drive and gearset was fitted.

 

440cc injectors and 95mm MAF housing with matching software. Like I said earlier, a full 3" TIG Welded exhaust from the turbo back, the turbo being a 1.06 AR turbine GT35R. I believe the engine has 100% ARP hardware.

 

Apexi AVCR fully wired in. with different boost settings per gear and 3 boost settings in total. The boost will have been capped to 1.4 bar for the safety of the engine.

 

I cant speak for the rest of the car that you have. 

 

Out of interest - How much did you pay for this car?

First slight issue with it, the clutch release bearing has failed. I thought there was a noise but i couldn't work out where it was coming from, guess I know now. Took the box off today going to put a new helix paddle clutch in it, there's not a lot left on the current on and also do a few other little jobs while it's all apart.
