Reno GTI
Okay so i've been buying parts slowly for almost 3 years now, and other than some small things like the intake and a few other things i've been slow to put them on as well leading to a large pile in garage.
After all this time it seems i'm finally at the point where i am ready to begin my project and build a Suzuki Reno GTI.
1. simple factory lip kit they offer in korea
2. bms intake, probablly will get modified by the end of the whole project.
3. a full exhaust system that won't pop a MIL and will have test pipes for the cats and resonators. (by the way i'm doing this in aluminum)
4. bms sway bars (reinstalled)
5. urethane bushings all over
6. coil overs
7. some good old chassis stiffening (via strut bars, under body links, seam welding, seam rivets and a few other tricks)
8. If all goes well a Rotrex C30 supercharger
9. a tuned transmission (i wanna keep the auto in the reno)
10. new leather seats front and rear with blue GTI emblems embroidered in.
11. new audio (nothing crazy)
12. full brake upgrade (lines, pads, rotors)
13. Oil cooler, Tranny fluid cooler, power steering cooler
14. functional duct work for brakes, coolers, and intake
15. a bunch of DIY carbon fiber pieces
16. 200lbs of weight reduction
17. new ecu with new redline and econ, sport and normal modes (this is going to be the difficult one)
18. a bunch of pieces to affect fuel economy, power, or aerodynamics just for shits and giggles.
19. i'm prolly missing out alot of stuff considering how tired i am but oh well
On top of doing all this stuff, i'd like to use this thread to show you guys how i did it. Lots of step by step instruction with proper homage paid to those who taught me how to do it.
If there's anything not on the list that you guys would like to see done, throw it up on here and maybe i can work that into my plan. This won't be done overnight so please be patient but i'll try and keep up as best i can.
Anywho, thought it was time to let the cat out of the bag
