Any pictures of the rear of the car with these fat tyres

Hard to take a pic that shows how wide a 9J rim is!

Are they carbon centre caps your hiding there too

[MrSimba]

Yep genuine 'plastic' carbon

You could actually spec the wheels in a carbon finish!

Surely that can't be real carbon for that much? Meaning the carbon wheels for 1500 euro

No mention of your recent purchase yet Simon?

[Duncan VXR]

Is that because I have not fully finished fixing my octavia to collect or the other bits on order

[luke.]

Where is my car

[The Batman]

he sold that months ago

[Duncan VXR]

Luke your car is in the garage all safe sir, my car is outside in the rain mind Dont worry Mr Simba is in the queue of project cars and knows it his is more of a winter job DG

Ok... DG & I have decided to turn the boost up a little!!! The Z20LET on standard internals was always at its limit with the torque my stage 4 was pushing out so it's all going in the next 2 weeks to be replaced with - Z20LEH engine with FCP Forged rods & ARP bolts Garrett GTX2867R (with .64 housing) - Dual billet ball bearing 'GTX' series Turbo which spools faster than a GT2871 and holds nearly as much power as a GT3071! Tial 44mm external wastegate Klassen Inlet manifold Thermal gaskets Klassen 'V' band exhaust manifold 630cc Injectors Enlarged 62mm Throttle body 6 Paddle clutch & uprated cover Vibratech engine mounts & a lot of heat shielding & DG trickery! All booked into CS for mapping on the 19th Sept with Klassen on standby! Not looking for headline numbers in fact I don't want anything really over 400bhp even though the engine & turbo would be easily good for 450/460, the brief for CS/Klassen is drivability and mid range, minimal lag useable power & when talking to Mark @ CS he just said 'thats going to be phenomenal!' Many thanks to Aimy who recommended 'Wicked Coatings to me as well as the engine & bay has been treated to a little bit of TLC to make sure it looks as good as it performs! So its all happening, every things here, every things in place, just needs a bit of DG magic now!

[Darcini]

Sounds fantastic Si, be ready in two weeks?

[MrSimba]

Well hopefully though the deadline really is for CS on the 19th, talking to DG & all good for then at the moment

[turboluca]

How much wil it be costing mate

[MrSimba]

How much wil it be costing mate

About as much as an NA!

[rob999]

Look forward to seeing the results Si.

[MrSimba]

Got to say though many many thanks not only to DG who's been so patient with all my calls & questions but also to Nev & Zach who have spent literally hours on the phone / email to me helping me finalise the parts and direction that I should go,

[Bumblebee]

Look forward to seeing the results Si.

Me too

O and get them pics up you promised

Looking forward to pics and final result. Did you have to source all parts and then CS will fit them?
