Garnaby' GTI-R

Here's my 1991 GTI-R I've had this for a few weeks now and spent quite a bit of money already!
I've bought brand new
BC coilovers as the koni'is were shot ,
17" Team Dynamic Pro Race 3 alloys Toyo T1-R tyres
Ferodo DS2500 pads
Front mount intercooler
Replaced the short shifter
Poly gear linkage bush
Nismo gear knob
Gear gaitor
Battery box
Speedo converter
New dial bulbs throughout










The car has a dastek uni chip fitted , full custom made 3" exhaust adjustable rear ARB fully poly bushed Hi spec Billet 4 pot calipers and 310mm discs

Looks spot on that pal! Nice to see an un cut front bumper

Looks like someone has been busy with the wax

Thanks mate when I bought the car everyone asked me are you gonna cut the bumper I was like no way it's been done to death I think it looks better uncut! Just deciding on new number plate can't make my mind up! Weather to get import one and put where current one is or square one on the side!

Stu you know what mate I've had the car a month I've not out any on it needs machine polishing , it looks great at distance but up close a few dents and scratches but gonna get it sorted just waiting for warmer weather!!

Personally square on the side looks better, they are imports after all, gives it that jap look! But it's up to you pal, wheels look sweet too

Looks really clean that mate ....keep up the good work .....

Looks clean in those pics mate.
I would go for a smaller plate and have it in the standard position where it is now.

Yeah think that's what gonna do otherwise I'd have to get it smoothed off!

uncut bumper looks so much better & like said a square slightly smaller than should be :-) numberplate in standard position would finish it off a treat.
looks a pretty decent that one.
the late version unichips were quite good. I had one on mine before nistune became well established & had very good results with it .

I'm not sure which version mine is but dastek dealers seem to be a dying breed I will be getting Nistune when I've the funds!

I really like this, looks super clean, good work mate . The wheels and brake look great aswell. ^^ yes uncut bumper looks way better

Love the way the open spoke wheels show off the Hi Specs! My vote goes for small square number plate on offside!

One word " tidy"
Will have mine like that one day

Very nice looling R. I also like the GTR in the back ground too. Makes the R look like a shopping trolley lol

As above sorry but my eyes were instantly drawn to the gtr, what power is that running? 
Your the third person i know of now that has a 35 and a pulsar too.

Also if you don't mind me asking what did you pay for the bc coilovers? Because as far as I'm aware no one can undercut our prices on those

Ha ha the 35 is my mates I wish it was mine it's stage 4 I think 666 on dyno and 680 torques my GTi-R we think is about 280 perhaps but nothing confirmed

Your mate who owns that never by chance owned a gtir did he?

Can't remember his name but know he was from your neck of the woods and on gtr oc 
If it was him he sold a pulsar about 3 years ago then bought a silver gtr then sold that and bought a white one, I followed suit soon after and bought one myself also stage 4

No mate my mates never had a GTI-R He had his R35 and a 600hp R34 GT-R

I paid £720 for the BC Coilovers

Bob does um way cheaper I believe .
Few years ago on promotions/group buy they were around £500 & around that price they not a bad buy if choose suitable spring rates for your usage.

Yeah what ever the spring rates are that come with BCs normally are horrid.

Ah well you always find stuff cheaper when you have already bought stuff! I originally ordered Meister R Zeta R coilovers but after taking payment they said they will need to be made and won't be available till the end of March! I couldn't drive the car as the koni adjustables were goosed and had no dampning at all, I'm not a track driver so the BC 's are good enough for me I got the 6/4's

^ yeh always the way.
I went less than that for road use but depends on your roads & driving style/preference.
main problem was they died in just under 3yrs of use so ended up going bilstien inserts in original strut casings & massive improvement that is plus rebuildable.
BC's rebuildable too but wanted try other options.
I think you can still get the KYB SS struts new from some japan suppliers but it not that cheap so for the UK the BC works out good on cost to product ratio.

If you want to make it super stealth paint the front mount black, i have a uncut bumper and a black front mount and it looks way better i guess its personal preference tho, ill try to get a picture for reference

edit - theres the pictures

Before -

After spraying it black

It does look good I'm gonna have to think about it
