jim Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Slight ulterior motive, just seeing if there were any I really liked and might be able to prise off of a current owner in the future! lol I'm an N/A man, have been for 11 years (daily driving) and wouldn't swap for a tt. Had my black one for over 8 years and the current 6no one for over 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostman Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 My NA Sz, not a minter but it's quite tidy, juat needs a respray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Lol see anything you like? I like the stock look (Jim's is prefect, prefer no optional side skirts) and would want a manual really. It's just an idea at present as I have the two auto TT's and a manual NA/auto TT might be a nice combo. I always enjoyed my NA's and a manual TT I just can't stomach/rationalise the expense.

HELLBOY666 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Same here not a minter and not all original parts but it's what I've always wanted now it's mine it's gonna be how I want it P.s love some of these cars on this thread!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 This is mine. It's a restoration work and is a bit of a rat. I keep discovering bits that need fixing, but it will be pretty impressive once I've finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Here's how my N/A manual looked last year, currently sat in my garage having forged engine rebuild to go na-t. Loved the way mine drives and it's so much fun when people say it's only an N/A and then smoke um using the nos kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_harmer32 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Suprakeith I like the NX bottle placement. I was trying to think of somewhere to put one in mine but being an aero I need to still fit the roof in the boot. Think that may work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Here's my MSB NA5. Far from mint, but I keep on top of the mechanical stuff. Stock apart from facelift centre caps, facelift front seats, and head unit. It needs a full respray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonga Spar Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Really nice to see some lovely NA's. Cool to see a few of them at shows too, I must admit I've thought in the past that taking mine would be a bit daft, lining it up next to all the beautifully built monsters we normally see. This has definitely given me something to think about for the summer. Currently going back and fourth about plans for NA-T but at my age it's boiling down to that or a housing deposit (and the inevitable W58 headaches) Mine isn't anything particularly special, very clean exterior and stock under the bonnet (except a custom exhaust system from M-Tech, which is only 2.5" and single decat). Only slightly unique thing is the odometer reads 30k miles, it's verified back to 2002 but who knows how legitimate this is, seems unusual it would have only covered a couple thousands miles in Japan, engine bay looks very clean compared to most though. Would a paint correction be enough to get that nice deep black shine many of yours have? Or would I be looking at a respray? No swirls or anything, just slightly faded colour (even with a full polish). Edited May 18, 2017 by Wonga Spar (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No swirls or anything, just slightly faded colour (even with a full polish). Lovely looking car Wonga you could pm someone like Stonkin or Peter Richards to get an opinion, but I'd bet that a clay followed by a machine polish and some good wax would have it looking like new. Black looks amazing when buffed properly/professionally and the type of wax used makes a difference too - I think collinite (sp?) is a good wax that's recommended for darker coloured cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassbones Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Really nice to see some lovely NA's. Cool to see a few of them at shows too, I must admit I've thought in the past that taking mine would be a bit daft, lining it up next to all the beautifully built monsters we normally see. I usually have a small crowd around mine in the car park after coming out of the show. What's the difference? Lol! Here's mine. Mechanically sound, needs a full respray ... familiar story it seems! Glass lamps, black side repeaters, facelift confetti front seats, after market stereo and rims, otherwise stock as a rock Edited May 18, 2017 by brassbones (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No swirls or anything, just slightly faded colour (even with a full polish). A good couple of days carefully going over it with a machine polisher using multiple stages would most definitely see it looking 100x better. 202 is very very soft which means it marks easily but on the flip side it also means its relatively easy buff up. I am extremely picky with mine and how i wash/polish/wax it. I use Meguiars products primarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
