Started sanding down the intercooler

Before





After





Still have a long way to go, only did a 80, 120, 160, 240(wet), 360(wet) sand

Oh and Doh, yes the intercooler has some marks from shipping, looks like they sat something on it , should be ok tho, its on the back

Yeah, there is a lovely white Polo on the UK forums, no bump strips, front number plate bump shaved, blue motion lip.

Freaking awesome, if I could get that lip and had the skills...

[FLYINGTI]

needs more show before it gets more go

Shaved.....Just Saying.

[vwthunder]

Will you do this before or after the TBD, Troy?

Oh yes lol.

No I am sure i can make more power and push the frankenturbo. No logging yet, exhaust isn't finished, still on standard turbo manifold and intake manifold. Maybe some water meth.

Dont have the $$$ for a Stroker. My car is not all about power, needs more show before it gets more go

Check out the link in my previous post, Troy. If you went for that, then a Disco Potato could follow

Will I do the Intercooler??

Its sitting here in its box waiting to be polished and I am still waiting for a few of the last hoses to arrive

[vwthunder]

Anyone still keen on group buy? Did you buy the tail lights from Oriental Parts? This car looks sooo sick if mine even turns out half as nice ill be happy.

Tail lights came from Volkspower

[Njay]

I would be interested in the fmic

[clicht]

[blitDz]

Maybe it will help him if we group buy it from him all at once.

[seangti]

I thought he did, and he was going to get back to me, but since I have not heard from him, I thought perhaps he was no longer going to sell he cooler and kit....thanks, I will follow up with him.

My car is with Jimmy today for a service, if I remember when I pick it up tonight I'll ask him about the cooler.
