I wanna see this thing. Let's go on a drive with Frenche.

Car barely runs, but I'm down to show it to you and hang out!

Do a compression check on all four cylinders before you throw any more maintenance parts at it.

Thats what I was thinking! :)

Why are the lips always missing when we buy these cars? LOL
Almost every pic I see of a car just acquired is missing the lip including my own.

haha who knows! Curb stops and stuff rip them off!

I'd do some simple maintenance to any used car purchase. You can do a resistance check on the ICV (if you own a DMM) as well as the AFM, and you can also try cleaning them as well as the TB. Def do a plug swap, and check the condition of the plugs (fouling). Could be a misfire, as it seems even under rev it kind of hicups too.

If you want, post some pics of your plugs, they are great indicators of neglected maintenance as well as many other things. ;)

The plugs were brown like normal plugs, they did have some oil on them.

Well I bought it from a friend and he did some maintenance.
air filter
chain tensioner
fuel filter
temperature sending unit
temp sensor
throttle housing gasket
water pump

It also comes with a good running m42, I was just messing with the one in the car to see if it's and easy fix.

I don't want to throw much money at it if any.

Any ideas?

[craiggroves91]

Got a list of plans for it or just gonna add stuff as time goes?

Hopefully s5x swap!!!
Full black interior, possibly recaro seats, depending on funds.
little tasteful mods on the outside

Is that a moonroof I see?

The camera angle makes it look like that, but its a normal sunroof!

You should go ahead and do DIY euro trim now

I was probably just going to buy the euro trim, but I could try doing it myself possibly!
