GTI gearbox
88k
lowered 60mm on spax shocks
nearley new tyres

Paid £700 for it think its a bargain and Im well suited got big plans for this car now only bit of rust is shown in the pics















Got a few issues headlights not working on main beam/engine hunting on idle and cooling fan not working but I cant complain for the price. Plan is to sort out the niggles tidy up the outside a little then turbo it or something similar.

The idle problem might be the MAF sensor.

Idle speed prob will 100% be down to the Idle speed control valve on the bottom of the inlet

Just a little note, the 1.8 zetec engine and gearbox in the gti was exactly the same as in the si and and other mk6 1.8 petrol escort for that matter Only difference about the GTi's is the subtle bodykit , interior and couple other small touches
