Look people, regardless of what the history is, personalized negative comments about the individual will not be permitted.

The pics are good for others to see what can be done as ideas, whether it's the recommended method for your tastes or not.

Until the individual posts something illegal or something against the rules, this "build" can be seen by all.

Simply, IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY THEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

If you persist, instead of just deleting the irrelevant posts, I will just start handing out 30 day bans no questions asked. You have been warned.

This thread is closed for management purposes. When OP has more build information to post, OP can message me and we will open it just for tech posts and then reclose to keep the prejudice off the thread.

At some point the year and make of the car will be added and the motor information. Or the thread will stay as is and at the bare minimum, others will have pics for ideas for their own cars.

If you need assistance let us know. Our only concern is the welfare of the car.

Don't want anyone jumping the gun here.

Why all the cheap/replica parts ? save a bit and get stuff like Function 7,ASR or Koni/GC.
