Well, it runs and drives time to have a beer now


The heads raised the accesories/turbos so it caused some trouble with the hardlines and belt but I got r dun.

The extra weight lowered the car a little more, can't wait to put some miles on it , it will settle a little more














6 months of garage dust on it but still looks good

I don't think its his daily driver ha ha. Very nice seriously thought out build btw. Got to get rid of those rusty old MP turbos since they are not capable of feeding the bad *** motor and they look like **** with all the very nice components you have on there. I see you were not planning on ******* around after your last setup. Now you need a pair of st74's.
Please excuse my criticisms you have and insanely bad *** TA just have to voice my opinions on the turbos. Why run them with a setup as nice as yours? You can't be out of money with the money you have spent. Might as well do it right huh?

LOL

deffinately not the daily but it is very streetable

The MP turbos served their purpose and I might as well see what they will make before I step up to the STXXs

Izzy,

I was cleaning the garage today and found the lines, I had completely forgot about those!
