V$ Zero's Roleplay

Zero

First of all, ive never posted on VStanced before and i decided to do it here. Living in england doesn't get any better than cold weather and your average car meet every saturday in a tesco car park but you can find some hidden gems among a scrapyard and your grandads shed.
I recently bought a Golf. Has it fair share of problems but it cost me V$1500 but it has rusted shell, a poor 1.5 litre engine that misfires and is missing its exhaust manifold.
I had original gold split rims but i sold them for extra money for this money pit. I imagine you all want to see some pictures so here you go, enjoy.

So as looking towards a list of problems and what needs to be done; i have the list for what needs to be done but for problems its unknown.
So far im looking at either turbo the 1.5 or swap a 3.6 vr6 motor in and turbo that? And what needs to be done is simple enough.

Westmoreland grill and GTi Strip + Badge
Bilstein Coils and springs
Corrado dash and recaro seats
Straight pipe
Small GTi bumpers
Change to diesel so i can roll coal
Running Gear
Project M Brakes

Total for lot is pretty unknown at this point.
Best get searching, see you lot soon

Well i searched for about an hour and came across a near mint corrado VR6. i messaged the seller and he said he is breaking it for a friend, i asked if he would sell me the dash and clocks for cheap and he said V$ 125 is his lowest so i agreed to come down to birmingham to collect them. A Hour and half later i have them. Just gotta do some fabricating and they should be in. Zero

Since starting this project i have spent around V$1725 and V$50 Diesel (1.7 DTi astra).

Ive been really tempted to buy a vauxhall or opel for some reason, any good vauxhall's out there folks?

FastCars

Man I'm not used to Vauxhalls or opels, because the only main countries I was in was Japan (where I live now) and the United States for most my life. But I hope the golf build goes well! I might be getting a mk3 golf soon since there so cheap in Japan after I finish my next project.

Zero

Nice man, whats it like in Japan car wise, all im used to is clapped out golfs and corsa's. What mk3 golf you looking at as well?

FastCars

A lot, lookin at japan dealer auctions, I'm interested in this one golf mk3 in mint condition with pretty low miles and aftermarket wheels... etc. My guess is the car would go for as much as the wheels are worth if not less. Proubly gonna get it for 500V$. But japan car wise Theres a lot of cool cars once in a while on a normal road, but at car meets there some cool stuff most of the time, you should visit Japan with me some day (RP Wise not IRL).

(oh and does your game work with SR20DE's? Mine don't but if it does you wanna buy my sr20de with 5 speed manual for 1500V$ with some spare parts in rp?)

Zero

Mine doesnt work with SR20DE's sadly but yeah will have to some time. Over here in uk cars can go for loads depending on spec but my golf, i picked it up for dirt but it did have some problems, was originally going to buy an astra GSi but seller sold to some dude before i could buy.

FastCars

Its fine about the sr20, and sweet your welcome over any time at Osaka, maybe we can find you a car to import to the UK or just have fun.

Zero

Right, not been long since i last updated but the car decided to crack its rocker cover so i had to search for a new one, luckily my grandad had an old Vauxhall C20XE Rocker Cover which miraculously fitted. I also found G60 Lip thanks to a guy at the local meet. But the best bit was finding a westmoreland grill with complete GTi strip in rusty yellow, i also bought a GTi badge and new VW Logo for the front. That is all, Zero.

And yea man anytime, maybe find something special.

FastCars

The little details matter 😉 lol, nice shots btw!

Zero

Fair enough, thought it would be easier maintenance.

Since the turbo on my engine was playing up i decided to take a trip to a garage renown for tuning golfs etc.
They have mapped it and its making 700 bhp and 630 ft-lb of torque. WOW!
I also traded my old steelies for some new rims and part ex'd them to the garage.

That's a unrealistic number of hp and tq.... :/

Zero

Honestly the engine has some modified internals i think. I bought it from a scrapyard and they said it has some sort of aftermarket pistons, i think they are DS Blackseries. It also runs on diesel so it makes sense.

This is dyno sheet they handed me if this helps :/

Im unsure whether to buy a drift car or not?

FastCars

it depends, its up to you. If u lived in Japan you really want a drift car, idk about the UK never been there.

Zero

People drift but its a small community and there isnt a good choice for cars either, its mainly e36's and stuff like that. I would like to try it tho bet its cool as

Added 28 minutes later:

So ive decided, im buying an e36, gonna try and swap a 2j into the shell and drift it to bits but sell the civic and keep the golf - Zero

Added 5 minutes later:

So a friend of mine is looking for something quick, really quick in fact so i said pass me V$4700 and you can have civic so he said yea, so look whos V$4700 in pocket.

V$14505 + V$4700 = V$19205

FastCars

Man if you lived in Japan id sell the e36 to ya when its complete... It would be perfect to swap a 2j in it with help of me 🙂 because 4 cylinder.

Zero

Yea man, shame ive bought one but drift buddies. 2j family

FastCars

If your not using ur BMW as a daily and if u don't care if ur freezing in the UK, you should take the REALLLLYYYYYY THICK installation and take off nearly 100lbs.

FastCars

eyy would u sell the springs or whatever and trade for my old ones? jk... i can get adjustable coilovers for pretty cheap in japan, how much u pay for that beemer

(P.S for Suspension: put whatever springs or something you have
