Those banded steels are awsome mate.

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 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 i think i'm gonna stick to 15", especcially since that is the minimum rim size for my all round disk conversion

they do look cool but 15s are they way forward alto easer than lowering it but it would be nice
and your 15s look rely cool and i dont noramly like non dishy type wheels

bonnet:


photo was taken right after spraying the clear coat, can't wait till it's hardened to see it on the car

oooh shiny black. Looks nice buddy, prefer those wheels to your old white ones too.

it must be the pink wheelnuts then

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
it does make the stock B14 more fun, 3rd gear wheelspin woehoew!

let it snow let it snow let it snow!

we've only had 1 inch of snow but it was still enough to do some snowdonuts in the evening

@ 26sec = full throttle in 4th gear



also some big news engine wise, involving CNC and stainless goodness; more of that later on

lol at the laugh at the end Snow inbound tonight, hope to get some videor action tomorrow

another one cause it doesn't get boring

ha ha ha. that looked like fun.

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:




and finally some progress on the turbo engine

drew a pair of flanges:


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



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

little bit of TIG welding then , shortshifter:

prepped the manifold flange for welding







and into the dishwasher for de-greasing


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
