Hey guys,
I've been a long time fan of anything bearing the GTi brand (my brother is a huge swift enthusiast) and recently decided to pick up a mk1. If given the choice, I'd pick up a GTi, but they're few and far between and this LS happens to be tastily modified, though it's aesthetically in less than pleasing condition (I prefer the charm of old cars anyway).
I'm going to get my hands on a decent set of MS-01's (15x7.5 et+25) tomorrow, which will give the dub the stance that appeals to me from these little beasts. I've already ordered some JOM coilovers (not after anything fancy, just want it to be firm and reasonably low).
I also splurged on an autotech shift kit (should reduce both directions of throw by 50%).
It does have a perfect dash and good quality Wolfsburg steering wheel, which was a nice suprise
As for the work that's been done, it's got an 8v 1.8l GTi engine, deisel 4 speed gearbox, the owner mentioned something about it being bored or bigger cams.... It's fairly lumpy but not full race cam lumpy. Otherwise, just the usual, exhaust, etc.
pics for my new brethren hahaha.
