If anybody quotes that strip of Godzilla sized pictures, should be shot and then banned.

Looks absolutely amazing. I wish i had the skills to be able to do something like this.

I haven't posted in here in a while because I've mainly just been enjoying the car. So heres a few pics from a meet a week or so ago.






I've also had a photoshoot done of the car for Fast Four's magazine but I won't get any of those photos until after the magazine has come out.

I think what I enjoy most about m42 turbo builds is every one is different.

Reap3r, your shit is on point dude. Glad to see the car is running and you are enjoying it.

The only 2 meets I generally attend are the Euro ones on the VW Watercooled forum. But I then copy the details across to either the downshift forum or boostcruising. And the other meet I attend are the Downshift ones posted on downshiftaus. Seeing as i've been in with the JDM/Downshift meets since the beginning 3 or 4 years ago I generally go to every one.

MMMM I like deliveries :)



Nows where the real fun begins.

Where did you purchase this manifold from?

Where did you purchase this manifold from?

I Got it from GOOD and Tight on this website. It didn't work with my setup so I had to move it on.

What didn't work about it? I'm considering buying one of those from him once I get around to it.

My vorschlag engine mounts ended up being a bit smaller than they should be so my engine sits on a bit of a bigger lean towards the strut tower. With Good and tights manifold my turbo hit the strut tower before becoming seated on the flange even without the internal wastegate.

This is what made me decide on a custom setup with external gate ect. Moved the whole lot forward and gave me a lot more space.
