CJ Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I picked this up last night and have to say I am hugely impressed. It was an auto TT that was converted to a 5 speed single. I was worried about the conversion as i didnt know what to expect from the gearbox but after driving it back from newton Abbot last night (over 200 miles) I have to say all those worries have been dispelled. The car drives like a dream but obviously needs a little tweaking with a new set of injectors, an uprated fuel pump and a new EMS. It also needs a good wash and a polish but methinks this is an absolute bargain. Now, I wonder how long I can keep this for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know my friend, my tech knowledge is pretty sketchy so someone with a lot more nous is going to have a looksee and let me know what they think.

D3xt3r Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Damn CJ looks nice. You dont wanna trade that cream interieur against some recaros? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 I was tempted to put a 6 speed in or even revert it back to an auto but after driving it back I dont think I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Damn CJ looks nice. You dont wanna trade that cream interieur against some recaros? If the backs were not the same colour I might have been tempted. TBH, the drivers seat needs a little work as it has been worn by someones fat backside (not mine as i only got it yesterday)!

Pete Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I predict we'll see a few more of these in the coming years. Blown standard turbos replaced with small single setups detuned for the current standard fuelling to cope (like Voos current setup until she carries on). Good potential as projects. Was it a TT auto convert - or a 5Spd NA shell converted with a TT engine and singled? Only reason I ask is there's no airbags, I thought all TTs had airbags?

Sheefa Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Jesus CJ another one bites the dust for the rest of us huh! Number 8....or 9 is that? Well done mate looks lovely. Any ideas about wheels mate? I'm looking for a set of 2nd hand 18's that will clear UK spec brakes. Also, am interested in undercarraige protector for engine etc as mines completely wrecked if you've got one 'spare'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Yeah agreed Pete. Would love to get a small single right now and have rid of my hybrids - but that's only because they have no boost from that damn intercooler leak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Looks pretty good. Wheels actually look better on the car I agree B. They dont look half bad in the flesh and even though they are 19's, the ride is pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
