Stefan's Gordini GT

[rcr484]

Well.. Time for a project thread for my facelift Gordini GT. When I bought it, I didn't had too much plans.. But after wondering around on this forum, you've affected me.. :lol:

First of all, some pics of how it is at the moment:

Last week I received my dump valve and I installed it yesterday. Doesn't make an awful lot of noise, but I quite like it this way. :mrgreen: And jup, made a small video: Clicky!

Last but not least, my small list with planned updates:

RS spoiler (or is it called Cup spoiler in the UK?)
KTR air filter
Remap
K-Tec catback
Lowering (max. 20-25 mm, otherwise I can't get into street any more :lol
RS monitor (well, that depends if ESP is required for that)
GT badge (for on the boot)
Twingo133.net decals
And maaaaaaaybe RS cup alloys

Now it's time to do some money saving, lol. :mrgreen:

Looking good. I like the wheels and they kind of look like the wind alloys.

Oh and I forgot something.. I changed the floor mats with my brand new RS mats (which I bought when I still had my 'old' white one ). It looks quite good with the rest of the interior!

I didn't know the facelift GT gordini came with a better interior than my rs

Wish they would do the dash grass for right hand drive cars!

 

[rcr484]

You've got the 'standard' RS interior I suppose? I've to admit, I really adore the interior of my Gordini despite it's not the full leather one.

 

[user 980]

Lowered and spacers and it would look even better

 

[rcr484]

Haha, yeah.. That's one of my plans. I won't lower it too much, I think around 20-30 mm's should do the job.

going to look awesome mate!

Okay... I saw 2 sets of Eibachs now which can be delivered to a local workshop nearby and both cost €172,- (approx. £145-150). I only doubt which set I should go for, the 20 or the 25 mm's.. :? Maybe a good night sleep will help with the decision though. :lol:

Fitting of the set will cost around €250,- (approx. £215) at this local workshop.. Seems to be a fair price to me.

 

[user 980]

is that fitting price on top of the springs or including the springs? If so do them yourself :shock:
There is a great how-to guide on here for changing springs

It is on top of the price yes.. Main problem for me is that I'm not really able to do it myself.. I know my own 'maintenance skills', lol.. :lol:

 

[rcr484]

I've decided that I'll just pay the price for the fitting of the springs, haha. When next months salary has arrived I'll give the workshop a call! :lol:

And the last 2 'mini-updates' btw.. A light unit with 3 lights and a small(er) aerial.

Oh and for I forget it.. There is a Green air filter coming up. How much bhp will this add to my GT?! (Just kidding, lol :lol: )

Depends if the place do a proper geometry, if I wanted my coilovers fitted and have a fast road setup front and rear it would cost me £300 roughly to get it done properly by people who know what they're doing and have done it many times before.

As for the interior I like the gloss black vent surrounds! If only they did that on the old gordinis.

I've just called with ATM Tuning in Eemnes about a remap.. Soooo... Remap is coming up (hopefully) soon! Can't wait to have that 'little' bit extra power..

 

[rcr484]

I went to ATM in Eemnes this morning for a remap.. Quite happy with the results, drives a lot better!

The small 'drop' has been solved later on, so everything should be fine.
