Welcome Elwood, yeah I've followed your build on the US site too - she's a nice piece of kit for sure.

Would be good if you put any further work done up on here.....

Thanks -- will do. I've got the major stuff where I want it, and now it's a question of getting everything dialed in. At my last track day, I was about 4 seconds faster on a 1:39 lap than I was with my NA motor and OEM rear end. I think with more seat time, a real alignment, corner weighting, etc. I can improve. One big benefit is the fatter torque curve across the RPM band. I keep forgetting that I don't need to downshift as often. With with the turbo, it'll pull hard down to 3500 RPM.

Nice website and car mate. Thanks for sharing.

That US site is full of idiots. I'm getting the runaround on there at the moment while looking for a rare (in Euroland) part.
Yes, I think we've all run across some less than helpful people. I do hope that you're getting some good info / assistance. There are some "good guys (and girls)".

What are you looking for?
