Re: 1990 416GSi & 1991 416GTi

I said goodbye to the GSi today. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1969/31800120348_0d1cd8d741_b.jpg 20181101_162901 by max_burton , on Flickr It's gone to a good home with a fellow R8 enthusiast, from the recently fractured Facebook page. This leaves a hole on my driveway, which I'm hoping to fill wit...

Re: 1990 416GSi & 1991 416GTi

Well, I've been busy. Thanks to Craig Cheetham, the car is now back in one piece and relatively straight. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1909/44522827354_9f1f42fc2a_b.jpg IMG_20180928_122620297 by max_burton , on Flickr After the trip down to the Fens however, the car started to condense its header ...

Re: 1990 416GSi & 1991 416GTi

That does look good :clapping . Do you have to take half the dash out to do this or is it a quick job? Centre console trim out - 4 screws, two each side (one down by the gear lever and one halfway up round the side of the fan controls and radio), & pull forward. Then the knobs need taking off t...

Re: 1990 416GSi & 1991 416GTi

The GSi is going to be put up for sale, to generate funds to improve my GTi. GTi needs a head gasket, cambelt, work on the gearbox, and a better fitting exhuast. GSi is spot on and rot free but surplus to requirements. Who was it that was looking for an auto R8? I tried to reply to the PM thread but...

a NOS wooden heater control panel from a bubble dash. Needs a little adjustment but it looks great, right at home.

Re: 1990 416GSi & 1991 416GTi

Yep, can't miss it can you? That'll have been my mum, she's taken a real shine to it, even more so than my GSi.

(Also it's being kept on the drive while I can't select P so she just uses it as her car is blocked in).

Re: 1990 416GSi & 1991 416GTi

I'm only seeing left too. The GTi has really impressed me: it handles better than the GSi - the suspension is smoother - still soft, but it feels like it actually has some performance and pedigree, whereas the GSi just feels a bit awkward when you give it a bit of a challenge - it still performs adm...
