[QUOTE=Preen59;335636]Ok fellas Here's the stats of Tims engine to the letter...

9.5CR stock GX engine with DX piston's, 276 TT cam, autotech valve srings, matched ported head & ported runner's in the intake, audi throttle body, & volvo fuel distributor & airflow flap. stock warm up reg. hurricane extractor's & 2" free flowing system. Mk2 GTI dizzy. stock advance. the only headwork was the port entry's to match the intake gasket. wasn't really all that special.

it was making the 66kwatw with the stock cam & fuel system. not even the GTI cam or volvo fuel setup!




Isn't that what was posted? Gold star for you.

Is this his white 4door with the D90's?

Who has an issue with me removing page 7 of this thread. It went from a quite ok build thread to some fantasy BS land in less than a page.

Ask the Kid I guess, its his build thread.

The blue looks good too. i'm geussin your dad is just using acrylic?

i'd also be interested to know how much paint he uses to spray the whole car. and how many colour coats as well, if that's not asking too much.

Jarred, we are using enamel paint.

Im not sure about how many coats there will be.

We brought 4L of paint for $90.

From what I know with auto paint, you have 'Acrylic Enamel' which is a single part paint that can then have accelerant added to or else you go to a urethane based 2 part paint (2Pac). So in this case you both are on about the same thing.

Are you removing all the trim before you paint the whole car?
