Pics look good mate. I'm surprised you have any rubber to burn on those wheels haha How's the Sunglasses holder coming? I'm knocking up something similar with the same type of gauges as yours. Keen to see how yours turns out Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

I want around 250rwkw. My plan is to get a r33 manual and vlt diff in the car as i get them and run it n/a and build a s2 block on the side ready for fulls. Somethin like a 35/40, de comp, cammed, microthec on a standard bottom end on around 10-15psi. That will keep me happy for quiet a while, after that ill forge the bottom end and crank up the boost my cars on 19 psi highcomp with a 3540, it loves it

Probably the 1.6 then (std thickness) good gaskets tho! most people use em for decomping A6 turbo conversions
