MRX Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 So I've owned 2 NA-5's and a TT-Auto but this is my first TT6 Picked it up this evening and wow what a car..! It needs some work here and there but overall the condition is pretty good. On the way home we made the following list of bits that need attention before I start work on BPU - Front splitter cracked Handbrake button - This is a bit odd, think its a drift thing. Elbow box lid has a big crack in it Recarro bolsters need a refurb as they're heavily worn Front spolier not working Rear light bulb warning on Traction control light on Breather pipes in engine seem to have come from a garden hose Front lights plastic needs a polish Top glove box stuck closed Replace aerial as wonky Car audio needs upgrading Replace steering wheel with OEM Mechanically everything seems sound except there does seem to be some clunking going on at lower speeds and changing gears is a little clunky especially in to 2nd and third. Not sure what wing that is? Wheels are lovely TRD Magnesium jobs Exhaust is stainless, not sure of make but its very quiet Will have a proper poke around it tomorrow and take some better photos.

ripped_fear Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Congrats, has some potential, and a very nice colour choice. What is with all the hosing under the bonnet though?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep its a mystery but has something to do with that added oil catch can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeiretto Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Nice car! Wonder why they replaced the passenger airbag with a pre-facelift cabinet, though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Good base to work from but a lot of work ahead by the look of it. Love that colour and like the wheels. Good luck with the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Cheers guys, im really pleased with it. Yeah it needs a few bits here and there but I can see it being really sorted once i've spent some time on it. Not sure yet on the wing, I had planned to swap it back to stock but its kind of growing on me. I'll leave that till last and see how i feel then As to the clunking, after doing some reading it appears facelift engine mounts are shit and I got a feeling its them that are causing the noise at lower speeds. Once its moving it runs sweet with no knocking. It doesn't sound like a job i'd like to try on the drive way so if anyone can recommend a garage Dorset/Hampshire way please let me know and i'll get them to put new ones in.

tooquicktostop Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Looks like the heater matrix is taking its supply from the front of the engine, the pipe that goes into the top of the radiator ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
