Taking into the shop to have it looked over and have a new starter installed. It needs a bit of work, but I think it will be pretty clean once I redo the headliner and have the body shop mend the rear quarter pannel. Then coilovers. I will have photos up this weekend. Any San Jose/sfba people floating around here? | | | 10-24-2014, 02:22 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 | Welcome to the .org!

There is also another white one in the same complex as my mechanic. Dropped it off there today to have it looked over. Power steering leak, oil pan gasket, blown shocks, and a few codes related to maf and injectors. So a few fixes and installing coil overs a bit sooner than expected. | | | 11-17-2014, 04:57 AM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2014 Location: San Jose Posts: 5 | A few pics Stock after it got dropped off. Coilovers & m3 wheels. Lowered the rear a little more after taking the photo. I also redid my headliner and A pillars with black suede. | | | 11-17-2014, 05:23 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2014 Location: USA Posts: 444 | Nice DS1s!

Installed a low mileage transmision as the previous one in the car was hopping out of 3rd gear. New Trans feels perfect. Still need to locate a new diff, then I am about done with mods and repairs for a while. Here are my two 90's hot hatches, 93 vw Corrado & my 97 318ti. I'd love to combine the two and have the corrado engine and body with the 318 drivetrain, rear end, and color. Though a m3 engine in either would make me happy. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
