The Project Pad

did a little playin with wheels.... tryout of the RS4 rep rim on the race car. looks real good.

and it is coming about really soon: i just got back from setting up a larger storage much closer to the house. both VW's are going to live there, and this car is coming inside i will be able to work on it now for real. when i get home that is :(

That sure is a pretty color.

thanks Mark. and it was $180 for a gallon of this, versus $95 for the VW dark forest green metallic i like so much. but this color really popped off with the hood, for me, and the fronts painted already also. not that painting is my problem, my friend does all that.

he is painting the doors (hopefully ) this coming week, and the rear S2 bumper and the Rieger side skirts. then i just got to get a time to have him paint the shell.....

but that color..... its "different". sometimes it looks brownish, and others it looks deep burgundy-ish. i liken it to a cinnamon or root-beer sort of....

and my son has claimed yet another seat as his own. he likes to chill with me, and he is pretty good at sitting in the chair.... just so he can be near me.

get him some mothers polish and tell him to go to work on mommy's new wheels.

I know...I am there now :(
Between 2 sets of 700+cc injectors (1) FPR & 2 fuel pumps I am allready over the 1200 mark.I am thinking of getting SS tubing for the lines right through with flared caps.Bought all the tools to mandrel bend the pipe and cut it professionally

Just need to find these:

with a hole drilled & in anodised black.

I don't see just the caps, but you might be able to use this and not use the the inner piece (it should be a 2-piece adapter):

This is what I am going for.

That looks like a tube nut/tube sleeve to me. Earl's has those in black (Ano Tuff):

Only in 6-AN
Its a start though! Nothing like have a complete SS tubing set up in your engine bay for that super slick look.I hate push lock fittings....

3, 4, 6, 8, 10 all in black. Summit again. tube nuts.

my new snail. i think it should do alright....

Bullseye S366XL. T4, divided inlet, 1.00 A/R.....

my son digs is for sure. and this is how i feel inside




too heavy for him to pick up. shipping weight was 39 pounds.

hahahahah I love these pictures. My son will grow up with very similar ones.

This turbo seems like it compares to about a 42r no? or maybe between a 4088 and 42?

I'll be interested to see how it performs.
