...like you would think of germany, there are so many rules, tests and requirements you have to pass that it is nearly impossible to tell what will cause no problems.

At least even all TUV inspectors have a different point of view so that you could be lucky and get your approval at one place but fail on another. Every guy in germany who owns such a car could tell you a different story.

I know that even in the states there are different admission restrictions but compared to germany i would be pleased to drive a car in the u.s.... (except the speed limit and the condition of most streets, of course... )

This is how my car looked right before i disassembled everything again :P got a new intake and new turbo.

2013


2012 first year as LHD



also want to make the cables look nice and tidy so i did this for the 2012 build but have to redo everything for the new late 2013 build.


this is how it looked when i bought it a looong time ago.


after that i did a cheap single turbo build. pushed 430bhp at 1bar extremely dirty since i just got it back from paint.
