and finally
Once the ECU and boost controler are fitted, its getting the exhaust fitted, im getting two stainless mufflers made as we speak. then its off to the dyno to up the boost to a safe 14 PSI ( in cabin switchable to a lower setting too)
I will post more ECU instal pics as i make further progress, including the cleaning/ detialing of the engine bay parts( just nice and clean, not too bling bling)
Also hoping to get my 3200 RPM histall convertor soon then rebuild the auto trans with some extra clutch packs as to make it something like a sports car!! i wish i could still drive a manual!!

Comrad, brother, friend. Please don't go ADDING weight to an already heavy car. Look to remove as much weight as possible. If you lose a stoplight drag to a VW you will shame us all!

thanks for the replys guys
they were made fron MDF they are about 2" thick, you sit them within the map pocketthen make a 1/2 circle section about 1/8" thick to make up for the thickness of the plastic of the map pocket.. then i cut out the "lipped" section at thew top edge of the map pocket with a dremel.. after trimming it you screw on the pod to the trim from the back and the speakers plastic grill trim through the mapocket into the MDF... its also good to screw it to the door itself too.
as i already pointed out i would love too, but my wrist wont stand up to changing gears, as it is i have to wear a brace when driving this!
i'll have more pics later today

I really like those speaker pods, could you post the secret to making nice ones like that? Nice ride.

Instead of rebuilding the auto, why not swap to a manual?
