And the slap is meant to be a deterrent for not taking photos James of course there'll be photos. Plenty of them. Get the donor motor on Friday. Picked up a complete eGas motor for 800. Got an engine stand I'll start to tear down the donor unit on the weekend. I've taken a few shots of just the parts but when I get most of the gear, I might just line it all up and take a group pic.I think I speak for everone in saying thiswe cant what to see this bad boy....Yeah either can I. I've been thinking/planning it for about 8 months now. Tried to get it started 2 months ago but the dude I passed the baton too decided to try and hatch it, the baton that is. Or is that where I want to put the baton? I forget.Check boostdrifting.com as a guy had a new t51 and snort manifold at a very good price.Hey thanks for the heads up mate but I'm already being looked after in that department. Tried to take a squiz anyway, but boostdrifting.com seems to have broken an axle at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's promised on 3 occasions he'd pay back the lot and missed all 3 dates. I am very disappointed in the man to say the least. haven't given up yet.

wrxrw Member 177 Member For: 18y 5m 14d Posted 07/05/09 12:48 PM Share Posted 07/05/09 12:48 PM interesting build! personally I would forget about big numbers and concentrate on making it super reliable. looks like you are well on your way to selecting the right pieces to make it so. just when you thought you have it all figured out, your only just beginning. in the next few weeks my car is finally coming together (very similar engine package) so keep and eye on it, maybe borrow (read: steal) any ideas that may help in your goal.good luck with it!
