Little update on the red gti6
Its now on the road!!! and my daily drive temporarily...
I got rid of the angel eyes and fitted black masks, also there was 1 foglight and 1 duct to the pipercross viper, I thought it looked a bit daft having just one fog so fitted a 2nd duct, doesn't really function for anything other than I can see the level of washer fluid through it lol
Will have to get a better picture really...

Brief spec...
1997 Gti6 Diablo Red
Piper 285H cams & Piper valve springs
Stage 3 ported & polished cylinder head
Ported and polished Throttle body
Chipped then rolling road mapped ECU
BTTC Pistons with deep pockets
Rich W aux pulleys
PTFE Manifold gasket
I fitted some high tensile studs and stainless nuts on the exhaust mani rather than standard
Pipercross Viper induction with cold feed via duct inplace of foglight
Magnex cat back (although midbox was removed and stainless bridge put in, I may have a mid re-fitted)
Its lowered on shocks and springs (no idea on brand but been told its -60mm)
Currently sitting on my Speedline turini's but It will go back onto the original wheels which are a lightweight wheel similar to supaleggra unless someone gives me a good price.
Rear adjusted to suit
It also has a rally (not rallye) bash/sump guard that fixes to the subframe and protects the whole underside of the engine although I've not re-fitted it
Also someone butchered the air con, and as I had the entire front end off and engine out I thought I'd replace that, so it has brand new pipes and air con rad just needs a re-gas and should be icy cold (also waxoiled the pipes and removed the standard fixings that usually rot out)
Went to fire it up first off and it just cranked and cranked without firing... was getting fuel but no spark, checked an unlocked ecu with the fuel pump unplugged and all coils off except a spare with a sparkplug in to check for spark... nothing...
Turned out to be a duff Crank sensor, and the ICV was duff which made it rev up and down when warm but both sorted now...
Seems to go alright so far but not given it any welly as its not been back together for much over 300miles... keep being surprised when checking the oil that its still as clean and clear as when I put it in... not used to that.
