  • My 88' GTX project

    Last night i pushed my festiva out of the garage to make room for my GTX that i got a few weeks ago from neandepaul and it needs a lot of work

    Paul wanted to keep the B6T/harness/ecu for his festiva, which was just fine with me since i still have my B6T that i pulled out of my festiva

    So combined with parts i already have and the left over parts that came with the car, i have 95% of the parts needed to re-assemble the GTX, the only parts i need is a rear lower spoiler (i already have a lead on one, just waiting for the cash to buy it) and a front bumper, which i have a lead on a front bumper as well but just needing the cash to buy it lol

    My plans for the GTX is to get it back up and running in stock form, then later i'll probably upgrade the turbo to a VJ11 with a rocketman ECU, but all in all i plan to use it as a daily driver with minimal upgrades, for now at least :lol:

    Anyways here's some fresh pics of the GTX that i just took tonight








    this is the only rust that needs to be fixed, the rest of the body is in excellent shape






    Hmm AWD goodness :evil4::evil4:



    The stock tranny



    The B6T



    And the GTX in the garage ready for surgery

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

      Don't do a full vj11. A 14/11 hybrid is better on the b6t.

        Excellent, I'm glad to see you're going to put it back on the road! Brad's right, do the 11/14. The full 11 takes more time to make power, but the top end is nice.
