Scott Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Love that headwork, that's just engineering porn. Is it just the intake side that has the dimples, or are both sides getting the treatment? Interesting concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazil Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Love that headwork, that's just engineering porn. Is it just the intake side that has the dimples, or are both sides getting the treatment? Interesting concept Hi Scott, yes only intake side has the dimple the exhaust is polished..! I got good news from Turbo specialist, he said my T04Z Turbo is in very good shape so no expenses there just a flush and clean. My injectors have also been tested and it all passed.

Scott Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 If it works, the dimples would help the spool on the exhaust side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) My new wheels with rubbers, run new motor and dyno tyres. Convertibles are almost as good as a flat back pick up truck. We must of got the measurements a little off since the back wheels needed te little spacers that were on the car before. I really like to wash the car but don't want to risk water getting anywhere in tr engine it's not suppose to. New engine ready to have clutch and gearbox fitted , going to change also new gear stick bushings.

This week engine should be back in the car, can't wait to see it all put back together! As well as the new wheels I believe I am going to change the side skirts to blitz, OEM spoiler and blended rear bumper, I will also try cutting and shortening the do luck spoiler to see if it will look more proportional to kit.
