After spinning a bearing and melting a piston about 6 months ago, its finaly back on the road. The car copped a full hand polish today in the shed (sweating my ring off), im very happy with how it turned out. I just wanted to thank JdCustoms for there plenum and piping kit.

Is that a Monsta Manifold ant T70? WIth the JD Custom kit for the high mount did you use standard pipes with a long silicone piece or did you get a new pipe made up? Plates = VL DEVL

i made a new pipe up and yea that is the monsta set up i had the standerd manifold and turbo on there but the turbo developed a crack down the center and i was poor so i got the kit. The turbo hits hard at 4300rpm Its only there till i get a new one.

I'm not bagging it, not at all. I'm just wondering about the piping, i'm looking at getting a top mount. How much did it cost you to have the piping made up to suit? And did you get it through JD?

Thats awesome man, Drivers side headlight is that lined up right? Or is it just my eyes. Not the biggest fan of the Blue Globes but the whole car itself looks really great man. Would be very very happy if I owned it . Any future plans? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i got the kit to fit the standerd turbo so all i did was cut the pipe in half and buy a 90' 2inch bend and cut to suit. Top mounts all the way man so much easyer to work on well depends on how i like the manual box. but early next year its getting fr19s im happy with how it preforms now.
