Hey everyone! 8L turbo

[ayfreetee]

Those rims would look better in gloss black, but then I am biased

Hey peeps small update...

Loving the new rims.

Did front shocks and mounts last weekened... holy crappers was that hard! Pain in the rear to do them.

And ordered nolathane lower control arm front and rear inserts... then final wheel alignment and she is right as rain for now.

a separate note, I can't believe how well the car handles... its almost arcade like... I thought that no rear seat bar and it would be not as agile... but it feels so nice. Can't wait for giant rear seat bar..

 

[Shadow110]

Not too bad for $30... will see if it makes a difference...

A heat shield would be advisable and a cold feed hose or two wouldn't go a miss, you will need a 80-70mm reducer or you won't be able fit the filter.

I'll be making one soon, cardboard design first.

I was going to make my own as I am a fabricator welder by trade, but I can get one on eBay for £25, so it saved me some hastle, the quality is pretty good too.

Had a looksie and the prices are insane... I can make one with off cuts of gal steel and just paint it blaaaack.

 

[Shadow110]

Small update...

Fitted the s2000 filter and I must admit I was sceptical but I feel like it's working...

 

[Shadow110]

Also was able to remove the ridiculous immobilizer that was a complete nightmare...

And got my rear badge...

And spent some time with my puppy...

As I said before, heat shield does make a difference, especially in a warm country like yours, even better if you can get a cold feed hose in there too. If you do a search on here, someone has done a pattern for a heat shield with all the measurements.
