Mix_67 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 This is my 1987 Flatty intercooled with a 5 speed and 5 lug w/LSD swapped out of a 88tsi. Got her running again after some exhaust manifold work so thought I'd share some photos. Future plans include wideband, safc-ii, fuel system overhaul, and a new coat of paint. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_7849.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_7858.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_7876.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_7885.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_7873.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_7887.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_7878.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_7897.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Correction, its an 86 rear end Man I miss that car lol Its definitly in good hands so I'm happy about that. I saw you drive by yesterday, I heard the car and knew it was you before I even saw you. That thing has such a unique tone.... love it BTW, I have a V-AFC if your interested, I know otheres have ran them with success but with my MPI I dont think I'll be needing it any longer.

Mix_67 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 ....I saw you drive by yesterday, I heard the car and knew it was you before I even saw you.... I was just out for an evening drive, and was actually looking to see if you were out and I have never heard the car drive by because I'm always in seat. BTW the new driveway looks awesome, is it almost ready to get covered in oil stains? Is the V-AFC a black or a blue unit? I have a line on a black SAFC.

MontyTSI Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 what size tire is on the back and what lowering springs. nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mix_67 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 what size tire is on the back and what lowering springs. nice Tires are 205/55/R16 with 7" wide wheels, I belive they are a 2" drop on the springs i don't remeber for certain, I'm sure Andy will know and chime in. Anyhow since I haven't seen the poor girl in 2 weeks I'll post a couple more pics. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_7865.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_7871.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_7872.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 They are ST's and they droped it ALOT! And in case your wondering, yes I still miss that car. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyTSI Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 They are ST's and they droped it ALOT! And in case your wondering, yes I still miss that car. lol sweet the ST's off my TSI are going in the flatty with old school staggered AREs.

AndyW Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 are the AREs the same offset as factory Monty? I was not able to fit 8"s in the rear with these springs... although they had 245/45s on them. But rolling the fenders gains loads of room back there if need be. There realy is nothing cooler than a lowered flatty, man i miss that car. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTTY Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 i recently bought your cars twin and doing the 5 lug swap also. I was going to use the 5 lug wheels off an 85.5 but after seeing how good your 87 looks on widebody rims this is the route i must take,great pics of a very sweet flatty,im sure Andy is missing his old ride very much.

Mix_67 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Good luck on the 5 lug swap, I think the flatties rock on these wheels. Here are a few more pictures of the first time I took the conquest out to the local drags at the airport. Thats a 90AWD Talon tsi, 93 Talon FWD w/ turbo swap, and the conquest before the races. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/20080621_086.jpg Myself and the 93 lining up for my first drag race. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_3726.jpg He got me by a car and a half, but I'm gonna blame the driver of my car and a boost leak. Can't wait for spring to run them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Powerslot RotorsPorterfield PadsSS LinesFront caliper rebuild kit Ahh so you bought them. Good deal there. Sounds like I'm going to have my work cut out for me in SM when I start autoxing again. IF your feeling saucy I have steeringboxes from TWIs to throw in your car as well. Complete the transformation 100% then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF your feeling saucy I have steeringboxes from TWIs to throw in your car as well. Complete the transformation 100% then I am intrigued by the steering box change.....what exactly is the difference? And BTW I got 102 Auto-x runs in last year . Lost the clutch at the last event, otherwise all I broke was an exhaust hanger. Here's a few shots and some on track vids. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/IMG_1318.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/th_Lakeland_run2NEO.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/My%20Cars/th_Lakeland_run2MBR.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/PSB%20Auto-x/Auto-x_Novice_Day052.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/PSB%20Auto-x/Auto-xBehrend019.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/PSB%20Auto-x/Auto-xBehrend063.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix_67 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) Got the gauges, MK1 short throw and fuel pressure regulator in this weekend. Along with the head unit. diff mounts, torque tube mounts and engine mounts. Went out for a drive and it seems to be lean while cruising and rich when boosting. Got home and I have a number 3 ECU code (MAS) so I'm guessing boost leak. Boost leak test kit will come out tomorrow evening after work. The car is dirty so please be nice. I haven't had a chance to clean her up inside or out yet. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp171/mix_67/Conquest001.jpgPro-sport Fuel and Oil Pressure.
