Definately, the car is looking steller. What are your plans for the new setup, what is changing? The engine bay is looking especially clean, and fast.

Wow, that's simply fantastic.

Wheels and seats aren't my cup of tea, but that's a top notch job.

Beautiful car, it's one of my top 5 favorite 1g's (besides mine ) and I'm curious to know what you're changing this time. Bigger turbo and supporting mods?

THanks for the complements, THe reason things are changing is for crappy parts.

to things

1 DONT BUY a dejon tool intake manifold, they suck beyond belief, and Dave wont take care of his crap product

2 dont feed a precision trubo off the oil fitler housing. Likes to float bearings on expesive trubos.


So Im going to re do it again.

Switzer Innovation Peformance intake manifold, Switzer FMIC, Acufab TB, Tial BOV

Also AEM EMS, CDI ignition, and wideband is allready sittin @ home.

And since the turbo needs a bearing im going to sell it and geta FP3052 and accessories.


We shall see what happens, school and money are currently a priority so we shall see.

Thanks for the completments!

Hopefuly it will be completed by June

I have to ask, which allen head did you remove for the oil feed? One of them on the oil filter is un-filtered oil...

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Dave's products. Just curious what the problem was though, pm me if you'd like to keep it out of the forums.

Sorry to hear about the turbo, but it seems to me that with each different turbo it changes as to whether or not they can handle being fed off of the oil filter housing. I'd be tempted to just throw a filter inline and use the stock feed from the head.
