Hi guys. I want to share with you all the history of my actual hatch. As I explained in my welcome post this isnt my first EK. On december I was looking for some spare parts for a friend and saw this car, really cheap (Arround 1/3 of the normal price in my country). I called the guy and after an hour explaining me details, I made 500 Km and bought it only some hours later. It was the 2nd owner, car was bought new by a friend of this and gifted to him because it was going to be scraped. The second owner used the car 3 years to drive to his orchard (he made less than 1500 Km in this time, but changed timing belt water pump). He told me car had only one issue, the auto trans when you flat the accelerator, revs really high. I was expecting an normal auto and find out it was a CVT and he didnt knew how this work. 10 minutes after buying the car, I made the first pic and drive it back home with no issues.
The car was really dirty. This guy was a huge smoker and never emptied the ashtray. He also allowed his dog sleep inside and had a lot of mud due to all the trips to the orchard. Also, the trunk was like a swiming pool. I spent a week to dry, clean up and remove the cigarrette smell. Here are some pics of how I spent my christmas holiday (apart from cleaning, I tinted the floor mat and reupholstered the roof).
The first mods were a genuine EK9 rear lip, first molding front lip and DC2 rear seats.
Next was a brake upgrade to 282mm disks and DC2 calipers.
At the same time, I modified the headlights:
I found a guy selling a seeker V2, Tein coilovers and DC2 recaros and the same week I bought in UK the wheels I wanted and were imposible to find in Spain:
And a friend gifted me a good looking steering wheel:
We got confinated for 2 months home in my country, so I made some upgrades. First one was rear brake conversion, from drums to 260mm using MB fastback arms with EP2 calipers.
