1.6 16 valve, proper laugh to drive off road, but it was too thirsty so stuck an ebay add up and got a message back asking if i wanted to swap for a d turbo
So doing a straight swap I got this!

It was a proper pig to start so new oil and filters and a set of bosch plugs
Next thing I needed was some new brakes, so off the the ebay again and got some gti 6 calipers

You can see the massive size difference between them!
