They definately don't stay stock for long! Disc brakes are definately a good addition. I'm also not a big fan of gauges; glad you took them off! No flirting here, aus880. Just appreciating a nice VL Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

My car, the BT1 yeah? well i got to much uni work and not enough money, the bast!rds leaning out on me so i need a big ass lift pump and a catch can so i can wind the boost up on the hiflow. Was thinking of getting a pierberg 350 L/h, but if i do that ill have to relocate the external so i might aswell get another 044 and surge tank while im at it.........maybe not. Anyway jess sorry to hijack your thread, having any luck tracking down some super lows?
