$hit and i thought my 6 months were hard, what did you do Stu? So pumped, this is the turbo I want. From scratch

I know you probly got your heart set on specific goodies Stu but I have a couple of bits kicking about the place that I have acquired over the years and id be willing to offload for less than drug money.

1 x C2 Motorsports Quickflow Short Runner intake manifold (not as bling as the SP Turbo one but a LOT cheaper)
1 x SPA Turbo VR6 turbo exhaust manifold. (nice design for our RHD cars as it mounts the turbo further from the steering/brakes)

long story...basically i had a **** lawyer and being at the Melbourne magistrates court did not help! I crashed my car doing 120 in a 60 zone with too many passengers basically. lesson learned! all the other stuff i did has not added to that time except for waiting to gain my demerits back...adding 6months on top of the 2 years!!!!

Feel for you mate, hope it all goes smoothly from here

Wow this will be an epic build lol, good luck with it. I think it's good that you've set a high bar on this one, so it'll take a long time, but two years should be sweet

Are you still living out of home, how can you fund this??? I can barely afford $500/mth repayments on my car lol!

ps. Also glad you're still alive after the above mentioned event and drive a little safer from now on, I sure do after crashing my car!

Nice man!
Gimme a buzz if ya need a hand with pedal boxes or something...

But, please don't ruin a nice build by destroying the boot well for bags!!! Just mount them nicely in the boot.
As for gas, I don't rate it...

[Yevvy]

BAHAHA

yeh should be a wicked handful of fun! can't wait!

[WABIT]

AWWWAAAAT????

YEEEEEEH YYAAAHHH!!!!!!!

[MattyT]

vvw has been boring me lately, so this build thread is a definite revival for me!!

gas is a very interesting direction for this build. I'm not aware of any gas vr6's, especially not a turbo one. There is tonnes of research to suggest that gas is just as good a fuel as petrol with comparable power outputs so I will be very, very interested to see how this all pans out!

[Shteifen]

holy crap. dude your pretty much making my dream mk3!
With all that space, the air ride, and a rebuilt vr6t, its very practical and spacious, while still being very respectable and totally off t*ts and with the gas itll be great on fuel too! best of everything!
good work mate, id love to see this things when its finished
good luck!
