I've got my new T5 home and I'm over the moon with it for the price I paid. Having said that it does need a few things doing to it.
My ecu is out and getting read to see if it's had anything done to it, I don't think it has but still worth a look.
Things to do before I start driving and modifying it, bearing in mind it will be 2 months before I get my pot off:
Checked the codes and there's an o2 sensor fault so will probably need a lambda sensor.
Good clean inside and out which I will tackle myself tomorrow on crutches
There's oil coming from what looks like to be the pcv (please see engine pic below, any ideas?)
Oil and filter change then plugs and possibly leads.
Mot, it expired on the 8th of this month and never realised till it was home and Done a check on the DVLA (seller said it had a few months left)
Then once these are done I should have my pot off and be able to drive it and get back to work and start earning some pennies in it, then:
Definatley needs lowering atleast 40mm
Source A nice dark leather interior with door cards and maybe a new centre console as it's scratched to death.
Needs a passenger side sun visor as it's had some sort of police device fitted to it.
Power wise i'd like over 300bhp so will probably be a 3" downpipe with race cat and 2.5 inch system when funds allow and a remap to suit.
Once I have done the above I will have a very unassuming and rapid workhorse
Now for some pre-clean pictures
White car with EDL on the reg, Ironic and slightly rascist don't you think
Don't know if you'll be able to make out the oil in this picture?
Thanks for looking, any comments or advice welcomed.
Looks like I will definatley be attending york now but doubt it will be going down the strip lol
