        • Yea I should thank a few guys on here now its running!

          Apart from obviously Joe at Golfwagen and roccodingo for his apparent bottomless pit of energy and enthusiasm, Gavin, loon, evorobin, tommymac, and basically anyone who offered quality tips, got me some parts or just moral support!

          I'll post up some more detailed info on the battery, alternator & starter wiring for those interested.

          Still gotta get a front bumper, exhaust and bleed the brake system, then she's good to go. Then the tuning/dyno session!

          Cheers,
          Wade

                I thought I would be ready but I dont think anyone can build me an exhaust by the weekend or get me a bumper either! I'm a bit disappointed but hey, it's running finally and I'm pretty happy with that! I actually dont really even have the cash to buy the bumper or exhaust atm anyway.

                Btw, I know the vids are pretty lame but they were shot on my phone. I'll put up vids of proper driving later...

                              • Wade, I hope your car is quicker than the photobucket videos!! LOL

                                Can I suggest you load your videos via youtube instead?
