Forgot to snap pictures of the wastegates mounted, but I'm tired and the car is of the lift.

You spend the last year building a car from the ground up and see how you react.
I have. In fact, I've spent the last 20years or so, building cars for myself and customers. Hence why I respect and DO like your work so far.
As far as how I'd react.... trust me, I've been rebuilding my E36 since last September, only to have sub-contracted shops attempt to rob me, crash into my car/topple my bike and over-pull my XB.... Reaction you ask? Just keep up the good work.
Reclocked the turbo for more clearance, we'll see when she's down off the lift how much clearance I have, new turbo to crossmember mount, more banging on the subframe, finished charge pipe/reworked so the wheel doesn't ram into it on full lock and this fucking dope ass downpipe:
Bumper's not actually on, and that mk3 on the right is ****ING NUTS
We enjoy screwing around i guess
Sometimes we get serious about screwing around...
and then there's the car again. I love the way the lines flow off the top of the trunk now... Wish the fenders fit better. Sticks out all funny at the door jam. Oh well, becuz racecar. (Don't ask about the 5" tip sitting on the factory muffler. I'm sticking with a 4" tip, I think lol)
body got worked on tonight. siebon fenders in the rear. very disappointed with fitment, struggled with it quite a bit, even formally requested new fenders, both siebon and the vendor who sold me them were ZERO help.
Kinda pissed, but at the same time as long as they cover up my cut up rear fenders I'm happy.
Wheel gap is attrocious, and the fenders stick out more than advertised. In general kinda pissed about these fenders. But I don't have the money to do anything else really. Gaps all over the place, had to modify the metal underneath quite a bit... looks decent though.
I'll upload pics tomorrow.
Other body parts are removable hardtop by smoothlines, and an aerosync front. Keep it simple. Wanted a widened front and rear with nice fitment lowered and aerosync/stock like body parts after buying a widebody kit and deciding it was garbage.
lol jealous? not really. ive just built the 'fuck' out of my r32 gtr. from a bare shell. and no ****** going on from me. i love anything japanese with power. just curious about certain things with this build i.e why the turbo was down there - now i know.
not a fan of having that power on bags but loving the build so far. whats the plans for the body?
Really, fuck ******, all of you cunts are just jealous you cant be like this guy, and build the fuck out of one car
really and truly, bad ass build dude, in for more!
