QCADTA Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 cheers fellas. pictures probably a bit flattering for the old bitch mite put a black stripe down the sides like the mexicos just to break the orange a bit. your probably right dan, will wait till after i put it together and put a few miles on her and see if it drops a bit more. Whens your mk1 mission starting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Mk1 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Good progress man. Hey a few questions..What size is your Intercooler? Why did you opt for low mount turbo instead of top mount (two manifolds are shown in your thread)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCADTA Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 think its a 450x300x75 off trade me. didnt like the way the manifold sat and where the exhaust was heading, theres no that much room for lateral movement and looked like it wouldve dissipated a lot of heat into the engine bay.

Love that style. and the colour and carbon touches work so well!! cheers mate. it took weeks and weeks on trade me to wait for some wheels like that to turn up, was good bastard i got them off for $500 . was almost gonna buy some off yahoo auctions japan, they dont make wheels like they used to, and the ones they do are a bit to pricey for me done all the wiring now and everything works, got to know my multimeter snd wiring schematics quite well put the fuel tank back in and just have to work out where im goung to put the fuel lines, then driveshaft and clutch line to see if itll move out of the garage under its own power. just when ever suits you for the window dan, cheers.
