It reminds me of a MKIII Golf Harlequin Edition.

Now to the important qustion. WHY DID YOU BUILD IT WITH 1x S5 AND 1x S4 ROTOR HOUSINGS? The pic of you dropping it in the plugs look slightly closer together on the rear rotor housing(the s4 one). The S4 n/a housing had different plug timings from the other FC engines, if that really is a s4 n/a housing thats not a good thing.

hell yeah bro, i got it a few months ago and i just finished my first rebuild, mid range street port, and im waiting on exhaust parts. I got it and it was an automatic, right now im currently converting it to a 5 speed.
Here's a pic of the porting job. i think it came out pretty good.

Each to his own if that is what you like then go for it better than some I have seen including my plain old green one . It reminds me of two young guys i heard talking the other day . the one teenager said to the other , tell your mom to quit changing her lip stick so often my dick is starting to look like a barber pole .
