Jak's car is passing everything (That's open to interpretation).
It passed it's engineering certificate.
It passed it's pink slip.
And yesterday it even passed the Central Coast Highway Patrol test.
With all the P platers going splat in modified cars the police are cracking down. The officer pulled over Jak and started giving him a hard time. True to form Jak escaped scott free with the guy showing a lot of genuine interest in the modifications. Apparently a few highway patrol officers in the area have kombis with subaru engines.
I thought it was a good story worth sharing.

Last week I went to Newcastle twice for work, wound the speedo around to the bumpstop 3 times, took a client for a drive when I got up there, (he didn't beleive that a vw could be quicker than his boxter) & drove it daily here & there, used about 3/4 of a tank, bear in mind I havn't had the computer tuned properly on the road yet so the fuel economy will be even better.

very nice work Jak.
Could you maybe give some info on your fine lines? Dµid you just use the stock line and 1 new one back to the fuel tank or did you put in a surge tank...? I'l be putting in my fuel system asap but need to make shure it'll be the correct type
I installed 2 new steel lines through the tunnel of the car. I have a standard electric fuel pump & filter that feeds a 1.5 litre Alloy surge pot, which then feeds a VL Commodore Turbo fuel pump.

Jak
ok, so no vapor line or fuel filters in your setup then?
Yep , as I said, there is a fuel pump & Filter that feed a 1.
5 litre surge pot.
I have a return line back to the tank from the fuel pot.

Jak
well done
my ej20t manx is finally getting close and now looking at what you have done has made me pull my finger out
did you use a intercooler (i see you had original 4 sale)
congrats again hotdog
I ended up getting a water to air intercooler from a liberty, I don't think that the air to air will be that effective in the back of a beetle, u are relying on the weather & correct air flow to combat inlet temps, with the water to air, I can control water flow, radiator position etc etc.
