Are you going to wrap the front pipes with header wrap? Wouldn't be the prettiest thing but I bet it would keep alot of heat out and keep the motor from heating up as much especially when moving. Just an ideal Looks F'N sweeeeet!

The engine bay really wont be that bad, because I am putting the radiator underneath the car in the rear. Yes it is an automatic, it has a TH400 conversion. This build is very tough but this is the stuff I love to build. Maby one day I will get to drive one.

I was just about to ask where you planned on putting the radiator. Sick car man, can't wait to see the TT C5 vs Turbo Busa videos.

I'm sure he will at least go do some 60-130's since it's right down the street for him.

I was going to pick this up but it sold a few days prior to me asking about it.

Sucks would have been a fun weekend car


76mm Twin Turbos
TSP LSx 43x CID Long Block








Depending on how that build goes I might be interested in doing something with a Z06 if you guys are interested. I know I sent Steven an email a few weeks ago and you guys were brainstorming a build.
