interior is spot on! can't go wrong with that can you! what size are the wheels?? nice one dude, good luck! :thumbsup:

Starting to take shape man!

Really looking forward to this....and my complimentary ride ofcourse! 8-)

Good little project you got going chris, it should be real nice to drive with a really flat torque curve.

What clutch are you intending to use though mate, if you reach your desired torque output the standard clutch will not last long!!

nice choice on the new wheels very different!

think i'm gna go for a black diamond sports clutch, the current one is 5hagged i think, if i give it some beans now it smokes and smells really bad, want a lightened flywheel to

get my bonus at the end of the month, so a clutch and flywheel are on the list, as is a smaller pulley and a decat :D

i thought you were a student chris? where the hell do you work to be able to afford all of this!!

Ah mate, they'll not be able to map it with a slipping clutch.

i have a 19% pulley on mine chris it makes one hell of a difference boost wise! I'm looking around 20psi from the charger.

Glad it is all coming together. looks really nice!

compensation from a crash i had, and her majestys government giving me a student loan, and living rent free :D

Chris where you get your pulley from? 20psi???

and eddy does the mapping while i drive around, theres a "spot" he has that we can test the 0-62 times and map accordingly
