Holy cr@p I nearly started to weep when I got to the pic of the bloke chopping your arches out, I really hope you know what you're doing  :signLOL:

I'm hoping to learn as I go along ..... I've only put tame pics up at the moment and I certainly won't post the video then...  :happy2:

Can't wait for the next instalment, and to see if the T does actually mean Turbo or not! :laugh: :jumpmove:

Nice work there. Can't wait to see/hear the finished article.  :notworthy: :notworthy:

Any idea of proposed power outputs?

Have you spent anytime actually driving the car? Couldnt do with out mine

I'd spent a year driving it so I know how much fun was to be had with 270 hp. The time has been hard without the car,Don't get me wrong but has been made easier knowing next time I drive it in a few months it will be loads more fun with 650 to play with

Not only am I lucky enough to be doing this build I'm lucky to have a gf who's as excited as I am. She'll be driving the car as well and is looking forward to competing on the 1/4 mile  :scared:

Cheers Dan, once all painted they should look really subtle, although their Not. About 40mm  gain on track each corner.

I love the technical and mechanical aspects to this project  :party:  :drinking:
An R32 turbo is a utopia I've always wanted to have the skill to do myself. This one looks special.

Will be watching closely  :happy2:  :popcornsoda:
