Nice one Adam... Taking it to the next level.

How you going to do the transmission?

My housemate is currently at home in Norway so he will hopefully be bringing me an adapter plate and a cage back from one of his local shops.
I'm going to run the 360 running gear until it breaks!!

I voted for the fantastic looking dark blue (looks a bit like MG Trophy blue), sounds like a very interesting project- good luck

You need a plan B - way you drive that wont be too long.

Once you have the adaptor plate, Is it going to fit in there without major surgery?

The only major issues i see are the sump. I can switch manifolds from a diff 5 pot to re route the throttle body, and i can flip the turbo the other way up to sort that out.
So yeh sump is the only ball ache i can see at the mo.

Oh and dont worry i do have a plan B!!! haha

That white in photoshopped photos did look really good

yea although lately i have had a thing for deep dish wheels where the dish is silver and then the inner part is a different color to put emphasis on the dishyness lol, maybe a silver dish and the the main center of the wheels the same color as the body of the car.

Spokes are going white and to start with i will paint the entire wheel white, then if i think it needs it i will pop them on the lathe and diamond cut the lip. We will see.

Ad, "100+" is a brand of wheels. halfords special from memory

Post by **340GLT** » 31 Jul 2008 08:24 pm

The brand 100+ is part of Team Dynamics but i dont think these are that brand. Once stripped down the outer lip from edge of spokes is diamond cut so.....
