    Yeah that one was on a clutched M62.

    The only reason I suggested meth, is because superchargers are known for heat soaking, and you could get the IAT's down, run a pulley for more boost, and still go to the gas pump and throw 93 in it...

    This car on moderate boost should make just shy of 300whp, and hell that little thing cant weigh much more than 2500lbs...

        So I was just informed that my car with be the subject for a photoshoot this weekend for a blog. Now I have to scramble to clean this thing up before Saturday. My lazy ass let a lot of little shit build up that needs to be addressed. Hoping tomorrow I can go ham on the bay and clean it up some. Ordered a passenger side mirror too(23 year old glue just gave up one day and the glass fell off while driving, gotta love old cars.) as well as a NRG hub so I can put my wheel on. Hope I can get it all done before the weekend. I'll never procrastinate again, lol. Be on the lookout for update pictures today.

          and a little bit of this.



          ended up with this. I should have got a close up so you can see the wrinkle.





          Also sanded down the trunk and painted the rear section to cover up paint chips.

              Maximum respect.

              I've never seen a 1G like this, love it.

              The K comes from the familia and ford doesn't it? I thought they came from TX3/TX5 turbo's?

              Lookin' good, definitely subscribed.

                Thanks man. It comes in the tx5 over there but I think the turbo versions of both either use a b6t or FE dohc. I'm not very knowledgeable on the Australian market though so I could be wrong. Lol

                    At first I was hoping for a 323 GTX and I was kinda bummed. Then I saw what you where doing with this thing and damn. This is looking cool. I look forward to seeing this continue.

                          Thanks. It moves pretty well for what it is. It's pretty much a stock motor minus bolt-ons and the shaved heads. Here is a run from a few months ago vs. my buddy's B5 S4. APR tuned 22psi on K03's.



                          Same car after I did a little work with my timing, and fixed some vacuum leaks. Shit video I know.

                              Thanks man.

                              Today the hub came in so I installed it. I bought just the short hub for now because cash is kinda tight for the quick release.





                              I have the horn button, but with the short hub the bolt for the wheel hits it, so it won't fit until I get the quick release.


                              The mirror came in today as well, but of course it was for the wrong generation 323 so it didn't fit.
