My GTI-R

I haven't worked out how to upload pics yet on my phone (windows phone is crap) but the spec of the car is as follows. I'm no expert, just going on what info I've found on the forums.

Its a black import with 74000 miles on the clock

Turbo back exhaust with the cat still in (think its a mongoose)

Forge recirculating dump valve

K&N air filter

Silicone HT leads

GAB front shocks with what look like tein lowering springs as they're green

Unknown rear shocks and lowering springs

Poly arb mount bushes

Nismo foot rest

Knee pads left and right

Rear strut brace with a hoop over the back seats

No front strut brace

Standard alloys

That's it as far as I can tell but it came with a few aftermarket parts not fitted.

Pace front mount intercooler kit

Poly engine and box mounts

Urban cammo, samco silicone engine hose kit

Its off the road tho as it needs a few bits doing, mainly the gearbox, it stuck in reverse so I've got that out this weekend and ill have a look at it in work.

I take my hat off to those who can get the box out without pulling the whole lot out as I did, I got cheesed off and was spending more time thinking and less time doing and logic told me just to take the engine and box out

Use photobucket to upload pics to photobucket then copy link ... you want the link that is img .... then paste it on here in the box you write in thats it ... hope this helps ... any problems just let me know .

Ah, forgot about the old photobucket, cheers dude.

I cant seem to get it to work, I've done it before on a different forum, but when I click send it just loads the post reply page back up.

Car sounds a good base with a few optional extras. Depending on what's to do sometimes it's easier to drop the whole lot depending on what's to do. Check everything especially rear of engine while it's out. Water pipes etc

I use https://postimage.org just copy the "Hotlink for forums" link into the reply section and should work

Thanks guys, ill try that other site and see what happens.

Yes it was definitely easier, and I've got a four post ramp too so it was almost smooth sailing untill I realised the ramps weren't far enough apart and couldn't get the engine and box through "doh" but I got there in the end.

I'll definitely give the engine a once over, I don't really want to take it all out again not long after its gone back in ha ha.

Might even fit the hose kit.

I would 100% do rear hoses and water pump as if originals they are close to end (oem hoses best option and not much more than silicone), would do clutch master too as adl do them and not expensive.
Keeps reliability and saves a lot of ball ache ...

Yer well if they don't look perished ill leave them to be honest, I may be eating my words at some point but I believe in "if its not broke don't fix it", though I will do the water pump if it hasn't already been done. The owners previous to the guy I bought it off spared no expense when it came to servicing it so its in pretty good nick.

I fixed the problem anyway, the selector had jumped out of position as I flicked from first to reverse too quick while moving it back and forth. And also this could of been rectified in situ, as I pulled the reverse light switch out to see why the box wouldn't split all the way, the selector was staring me in the face, so I pulled the whole lot out for nothing, I could of cried. But its all a learning curve and now have access to hard to get to parts such as the rack which is leaking so ill reseal that before the lot goes back in.

+1 on rear hoses... At some point one after another burst on mine cos of this had to do head gasket and trust me removing Intake manifold just to change oil cooler hose
Put it this way I refused to put mates car back together because he didn't want to change rear hoses
