Very Nice Mate :) are you going for the sleeper look I take it?

What's your power plans? I pressume that 150bhp lump will be tuned to over 200? :wink:

Sleeper look most definitely - Should have more fun that way :D

Oh yes - I'm running it as standard for now and upgrading as I go. My aim is to push it definitely over 200 possibly near the 250 mark.. Thinking about power to weight, it shouldn't be too hard.. but any more than that I'll start considering it to be a fair bit dangerous for my liking...

Have a fair few upgrades in mind, but u'll all have to wait and see..

Aiming to get this car ready for ED38 if anyone wants to take a peek..

Today the mounts were fabricated and now the engine is sitting without the need of a hoist :D
Next is to shorten the driveshafts

Mine used to be 8v, so was a lot less than 75bhp anyway..

K04 would be amazing lol... Breaking an s3 is what you need to search for ha...

It is tight as it is, K04 is going to be a lot of head scratching again - At the moment I'm concentrating at getting it running in there standard and then taking upgrades from there.
