Hi all :)

It's time to present you my 5th gen !

It's a 2.0l, I've bought it 2years ago, with 105k km on it (65k miles), she's at 84k now. I bought it with only one invoice, for the timing belt.
Let's start with the bad things : One day, my cranck pulley starts wobbling. All the belts have been changed but it still does it, I'm totaly used to it now but I was sh*ting my pants everytime I start it before...
She have dents all around but I don't care, and a wheel bearing (I think) that is dying.

Here are a few pictures :)

In my town, Cluny, Burgundy, in the first days I got her.

Yeah I forget to mention it but I've been hit one night while I was going home from work, my first accident... Thanks to Santa I have money to repair her now so I'm looking for parts, got to send a few PM... (Cranckmaster if you read me ;) )

My aim is to keep this vehicle ALL my life. She not perfect, but she's my first car and I'm totaly in love with it :lol:

Here are a few things I've got installed :
- Koni Yellows + Eibach springs.
- Decat.
- Type S seats covers with heated plate (on the rear seats to)
- and some little stuffs like vynil carbon fiber ( :roll: ), mugen replica pedals, grey cluster circles etc.

What I have to install :
- JDM climate control.
- H23 intake manifold.
- H22 calipers.
- heated seats harness.
- JDM folding mirrors (can't find a tutorial that matches my wires colors :@)
- Energy bushing for rear & front sway bars, steering rod (don't know the exact word)

Future plans :
- Wheels & tires : Rota Boost, Stream, Grid, DC5 OEM + 5 studs conversion... ?!
- Type S top hats + bar
- DC2 black seat + harness.
- Rear bar.
- Type S intake pipe.
- Red interior.

Even if she blows on my hands tomorrow I will never regret her, I've not driven a lot of cars but she's awesome to me :D

Glad you're loving your lude that much :D

Can't work out though, have you fixed the wobbly crank pulley, or not? You should definitely get that done if you haven't.

I've never replaced it. Some french guys have been driving their Ludes since 5 years like that.
I regulary check the "side", the day it got dents I'll change it. But 95% of the people who claim to have replace it still have their bran new pulley wobbling so... idk :/
