Well I'm the new owner of Phil's little red car and thought it was about time to make a thread for it.

Picked it up May 31st and while driving back to Melbourne the speedo and tacho randomly died.


Arrived home into the garage with 83,000kms on the dot!

Roadworthy was next and the main things needed to pass:
- New valve cover gasket
- New muffler
- Working instrument cluster.

Pulled cluster apart to replace both stepper motors


The muffler outer sheet had rusted away


In the quest for maintaining the stock sound I decided to cut out the lower sheet and expose fresh metal, it worked.


When it came time to replacing the valve cover gasket I took it a bit further.
Cleaned out the entire intake and gave it some red paint.


Up next was ECU chipping


Before putting it back together I cleaned out the raintray and replaced the cabin filter


SWWWatercooled


Then a great deal came up for a remus exhaust that I had to take


Next on the list is to repaint the spoiler


Meanwhile the black Ibiza has been parked outside and a hit and run right outside the house!
How they managed this I have no idea. Devastating.
