Guest Chumpalot Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Apologies if this is in the wrong place, please move if necessary. Just thought I'd update you on a recent purchase I made and get some thoughts and opinions etc... I bought Irfan_Habib's 1995 TT Auto on Saturday morning and have had the biggest smile on my face since can I just say many thanks to Irfan for a good sale and being up front when it came to details about the car. A pleasure to deal with. A couple of pics for you. Really need to take some more at the weekend. http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5205/front.jpg http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5205/front2.jpg http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5205/Side.jpg me testing out my photography skills http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5205/Rear.jpg Already have a few things lined up for her. Some new (and larger) wheels and a new front. I don't mind the look of the Veilside front but it just looks ever so slightly ott in my opinion. Looking for perhaps a Bomex or TS to replace it. Also some Tein Coilovers are in the pipeline. I've had so much fun driving her, unlike any other car I've driven before and so glad I went for a TT. Your thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkin Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'm sure i know that car, it was one i was thinking of buying when i was getting mine. But i never actually viewed it in the end. A guy on here used to own it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chumpalot Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 bodywork needs touching up here and there but the engine and interior are spot on. Getting the bonnet resprayed this month to remove a key mark (slightly visible in the 2nd pic, just right off centre) and then getting another key mark out the passenger's side door after that. Always wanted a black car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHanky Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Really nice looking car matey. I really like the look of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 definetly the car i am thinking of, as that had an x scratched onto it somewhere, door or bonnet, and another mark whereever the x mark wasnt it sounded like a lovely car though. I 'think' the previous owner had quite a lot of work done on the engine, rebuilding it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Irfan, that was it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 IMHO I would stay with that front end. I generally agree that, that front is a little excessive with the exception of when its on a black motor. It looks fantastic as do the rear lights. Good choice and great colour!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 spoiler is also slightly different to stock isnt it? it sits a bit lower? Some different wheels would make it look so much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chumpalot Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 thanks MrHanky yup thats the one. The X is on the bonnet. Nothing that can't be sorted out though. It sounds lovely, and there has been quite a bit of work done on the engine yes. I'm eager to get it onto a rolling road to see how much power it's putting out.

kslb Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 spoiler is also slightly different to stock isnt it? it sits a bit lower? Some different wheels would make it look so much better Yeah I would agree it seems to have more of an angle as well. Very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkin Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Does it still have light blue sparkplug and fuse lid covers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chumpalot Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 it's the Greddy rear spoiler. It's slightly smaller than the stock one and slants out over the rear a bit more. I like it I just think the Veilside looks a bit too mean... I would like something a bit more subtle but still keeping in character with the car.

Guest Chumpalot Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Does it still have light blue sparkplug and fuse lid covers? It does yes. Along with a few hoses and pipes etc... I'll get a pic of the engine bay up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kslb Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Mine has a bomex front and skirts and I like the look. Is this the sort of thing you meant. Not a great photo I know, would do another but car aint here at the Mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chumpalot Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 see I much prefer that front compared to the Veilside. Just looks smoother and more rounded. How they should be imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chumpalot Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Okay, this might seem like a completely idiotic thing to say but hey, I'm still learning. I'm wondering if the car has been BPU'd. It's had both cats taken out and a restrictor ring put in place. An uprated fuel pump and fuel cut defender have been installed as well. Is this all that's needed or is there more work necessary? If i put my foot down and hit the kickdown button, the car seems to shoot forward at 4k revs. And by shooting forward I mean it really does throw you back in your seat.

Guest Chumpalot Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 turns out it is BPU. Whats the difference between BPU and BPU+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
