Hi Peeps

I havent been on here for a long time and had to re-register

My name is Tom from Redditch, I have owned my 87' GTS since I was 19, 11 Years ago

I still love it but its been in my parents garage for the last few years so I am trying to make time to put it back on the road.

The Spec:

1.8 8v Injection
1.6 GTi ported and polished head
Big Valve Head
Piper Fast Road Cam
Audi 2.0 Throttle Body
9 Bar fuel Pump
TSW Pipercross Airbox
Custom 4-2-1 Manifold
Stainless Roar Pipe
Jetex 3" Stainless
285mm TSW Big Brake Upgrade
Golf Gti Rear Disc Conversion
Monroe Shocks with Jamex Springs (Lowered 35mm)

Couple of Pics but not uptodate as I have taken any since 2003:

Very tidy motor there fella... and oddly, I'm quite drawn to hte air intake on the bonnet (even if it is only cosmetic)

Very tidy.

Thanks Guys

really not keen on the scoop these days, seemed a good idea 10 years ago!!

Need to get rid of my 5 spokes too, I liked them years ago but now I want some 16" Lenso's in black with a chrome lip

Does anyone no a good place to get them from?

I know yeah it looked good 10 years ago Never managed to display it at shows tho.

Thanks for the warm welcome

very nice moter, i like all the underbonnet paintwork too. im looking to do something like that aswell.

Nice car, but then I'm biased towards white cars.

Saw the scoop on the bonnet and thought, 'WTF!', glad that you're not keen on it anymore.

Engine bay/bonnet look very tidy, reminds me of a job I need to do.

Where did you get the stainless intake pipe from? As im looking to tart up my engine bay. Nice car there.

Bought it from a show at Malvern about 7 years ago!

One here on ebay:

Im running that along with a Pipercross Induction kit from TSR which sounds awesome!



Heres one on from Volks bits for £87 :

Well after 7 years in my parents Garage its coming home so finger crossed it'll be back on the road in the next month or so :)

Updates to follow ;)

So I haven't been on here for a while, I did make a bit of progress however had another child and moved house. My car is currently stored at a friends house however I should have it back in the next few weeks so hoping to spend sometime on it over the winter.

Cleaned the airbox a bit as it was looking a little gunky inside.



New wheels, looks a lot better

It still looks very tidy, I bet you can wait to get it back and get driving!

Thanks mate :)

Yes definitely, somebody offered me £2k for it recently and tbh I did consider selling but I have owned it for the last 17 years and don't think I could part with it now lol
