Good morning
I am new to the forum so I'd like to introduce myself.
I am Marcel from South Africa
I am in the process of buying this vehicle. I have very little info of the vehicle as the owner has passed away and I am buying the vehicle from family.
I know the vehicle has quite a few performance mods but I have no clear history of what has been done other than what I found out from my own inspections.
What I know so far:
- BJX Engine
- Aftermarket Fuel injectors
- Aftermarket Fuel Rail
- Oil Catch Can
- Dictator 60-2 Management
- around 0.7 bar Boost
- Cable throttle body (not sure why)
- Upgraded sound system
- Resprayed
Issues so far:
- Driver side CV Boot completely torn
- No dump Valve (not sure why)
- 2 cracks in turbo manifold
- Sump Drain threads stripped
- EPC and TC warning lights are always on
- while driving Oil warning light flashes and car goes into limp mode for a few seconds
- Oil leak on Oil filter housing
- oil leak on oil return line
- Drivers side rear disc needs to be replaced
- Tyres need to be replaced
- Broken Passenger window motor
What I've done so far:
- Fresh Engine OIl (Shell Helix 5w30)
- Fresh Gear Oil (Liqui Molly 75w90 GL4+)
- New plugs
- new filters
- found and fixed a few vacuum leaks
- N249 & SAI Delete
- Fixed oil leaks (mostly)
- Replaced Passenger window
- sorted out a rough idling issue due to vacuum leaks
- Cleaned engine bay
Plans:
- Repair replace broken/faulty parts
- Replace bushes
- Cold air intake
- Replace Air lines/Fuel lines
- Dump Valve
- Dyno + Map
- Battery relocation
- R8 Coil Pack
- Wheels and tyres
- Coilovers
- Better Brakes
- Rollcage
The car has nice power, I have no idea what the figures are though.
I would like to get your opinions on the vehicle and any mods you would suggest or any suggestions you may have.
