I have finally got around to posting some pics of my car it has had ea82t conversion, 19 inch wheels, four wheel discs awaiting bigger front brakes. Narrowing beam and lowering some more. drop spindles just weren't low enough Aeros gaurds are being fitted, removed the old porche style kit. 65 bonnet and front valance being fitted. Was on the road driving a little without engineers cert. still wasnt what i wanted so decided to srtip paint for respray again. and fix up the handling and appearance of the car.

Engine. 3" top mounted intercooler feed by side scoops. Rush o2 air filter and few turbo smart acc. Tight fit...

Side scoops and old paint wrx blue. Still not sure if i am completly happy with these scoops.

I rekon is got potential, keep at it!

Hard to tell when its not finished though, that can be the prob. But u neva know.

Ian,interesting looking scoops.Keep the progress going mate and photos:thumbJVLRacing

wow, how big are those wheels?

BTW, welcome to the wet side of the force :vader

Nice mate cant wait to see it finished I love the cut in aero part between b pillar and c pillar how on earth did you create that. Nice colour choice is it blueprint xr8 colour I painted my pride and job that colour its real nice always shinney even when it needs some love. Ben dickens "Harryman"..

Nice work. Keep the scoops. Maybe think about a inch wide leading edge flush with the body to hide the round inlet part. Sort of like this.

oops that did not turn out! bloody formatting!

Been a while since i have posted some pics of what i have been up to on the car still trying so hard to get to valla. I have had the whole front end customised to have an old style bonnet and lower scoop fitted and holes for the mesh for the radiator. also new fire wall with moulded in ducting for the inter cooler this has alll been folded and made from metal getting there slowly. Stripping the whole interior to paint out body colour. Any ways heres some pics.

and another shall keep you posted on some more pics as they come.

Wow, it's going to look (and go!) pretty awesome! Definitely can't wait to see the finished product. :thumb

I think the side scoop bits will look fine if the car is silver. If it were a colour-colour, then they'd stand out more and be a feature but they'll sort of blend in with the silverness.

Post more progress pics soon! :P

hi,
thats quite a nice intake setup on your front valance u got there
do u get enough air flow to ur rad at all speeds?
i have a 70 rotary beetle and have been trying to work out if it could flow well aswell as look neat till i saw ur car:thumb
mine looks shitfull iti had that mesh in it till one day i got the shits with low air flow and over heating and kicked it all in lol
mine had a high flow 3 core rad and a 15" craig fan i think it was
engine was tuned more for track though and always had heat problems round town
hows the perfomance of the ea82T?
ive been thinkinng about converting
sorry for all the questions
thanks

Joel

Mate great work thus far - keep it up. I know how hard it is to try and get something finished on a deadline (valla) - I tried for last valla but decided it wasn't worth rushing and regretting it later....just make sure you don't have to re-do things (again!). Best of luck, look forward to seeing more!

the car has been in and out of the shop but is now coming very close to the end shall all be in colour next week very excited
ed.

decided to put an oval cut in to match the early front etc came up a treat.

also can see the new side scoops re designed and folded and shaped out of metal.

floor pan has also been started from scratch again it is now ready for the body to be bolted back on every thing has been re plated or painted.

shall post some more pics as soon as it comes back from the shop connected to the pan. can't wait then all the fun stuff starts. most of the interior has been made and ready to be trimmed. new set of wheels is also in question just need to sell these first. same old story. shall keeep you updated.

Looking forward to seeing this done, that colour is mental!

love the colour!!

Boot area now sprayed and and the rest should be done by the end of this week. while i'm just finishing off the floor pan ie fuel lines wiring etc.



Just finishing aroud the oval cut

Looks great, The inlets look cool but I think they would've looked better down the bottom and a bit shorter. Love the colour.
