clean i didnt even notice the cooling plate at first lol. Builds like this keep me going on my hatch.

 

[im_slow]

^^ thanks a lot! not many people do either and when they do, they ask what it is and for what. lol.
keep going with your build and build it for yourself.

 

[cvnig89]

trying to lol, but thieves slowed down the process completely. Must be tons of fun to drive though?

 

[im_slow]

f**k thieves! they'll get what's coming...lol. keep yours safe...
i love driving it and when it spools and moves; it's the best ever. lol.

[FreeOfThoughts]

Professional work my friend, very nice. 5 years paid off. Any future cars or builds?

 

[J_Uhrig87]

I gotta give you props for doing all that welding yourself. looks really good man.
Welcome, your going to fit in very well here, lol.
I also have to say you've documented your building very well. Props for that aswell.

you can always take it back out and get it all rebuilt again...that's what i did. lol.
i'm using 15mm spacers. the rear can look much better, but i didn't roll my rear fenders so it sits as is with as much tire contact and nice fitment as possible. i'm most likely gonna get new wheels next year and just keep these as part of my collection.

thanks but nothing pro here yet...just my own garage work. lol. since it's almost 2010 and i first posted back in'08, it'll be 7yrs now. future...i'll still keep this car and add a few minor things, but i'm mostly done with it for now. as for new projects, always havin ideas but gotta bank first to move on. lol.

much appriciated...and i've been on here since '08. lol.

no i am running my GT2871R now, i stopped running the T25 during july-august '09 i believe. i didn't calculate how much mpgs i got or get. i personally don't really care about it much...lol. for both, as long as i'm off boost it's very reasonable like my old NA setup.
