they are, but to look reaaaaally good the entire car has to drop another 3" all around making the tires allmost scrape the fenders. with a twinleaf rear setup that's nearly impossible and the classicswede 250lb springs i have on the front allready have 3" lowering so 6" doesn't leave any spring :lol: 13" is too small but oo so much more fun if you're drifting a stock B14:lol:

with the bodykit in mind and as it allready scrapes holland's fantastic speed bumps :evil: sm2 i think i'm gonna stick to 15", especcially since that is the minimum rim size for my all round disk conversion :lol:

the wellers look nice, but aren't that practical. everything scrapes and i even got myself stuck yesterday, i needed a jack to roll the car off to get the car moving again :lol:
it does make the stock B14 more fun, 3rd gear wheelspin woehoew!

winterfun + curb =

fixed it with a hammer, unfortunatly the tire didn't survive the procedure so it's flat after a day.

quite a lot of snow here for holland's standards:
Image

Image

and finally some progress on the turbo engine

drew a pair of flanges:
Image

and here they are, lasercutted out of 12mm stainless steel.

Image

so hopefully next update will involve a shitload of TIG welding, spaghetti and stuff ;)

prepped the manifold flange for welding

and into the dishwasher for de-greasing :wink:

next is the actual TIG welding, forming the round pipe to the oval ports, CNC milling the flange to smoothen out the surface and, the merge collector; wich will be a true pain in the ass to fabricate i think :(
