well i can get lower but but as low as some of my friends and their cars. anyways this winter i will be doing a few things to my car. one it wont be a DD anymore, TWO finish the painting of the car, THREE big turbo kit with water meth injection. along with smoothing of the bay if i have time to do so and the money and resources to accomplish that.

my BIG TURBO kit will consist of
Garrett T3/T4E 57 trim and a 63ar
Integrated engineering rods and pistons
precision 600hp core and customer intercooler piping
eurojet tubular manifold
tial 38mm wastegate
tial BOV.....sounds delicious.
new main bearings
new rod bearings
all the other bolts and gaskets that need replaced
new oil pump
south bend stg 4 clutch with resurfaced OEM FLYWHEEL
snow performance dual stage water meth injection

then when the money builds up again i will add my LSD so i wont have "one tire fire" anymore.

other than that i plan on going a little lower with my car then get wheels eventually but i have decided to put those on hold till i can run some good numbers with my car. i have a guy that is going to put my engine together along with hone it for me for 350. this guy is rediculous with engines. he builds the dirt track car motors for this area and they are spot on so im not worried about it blowing up.

Your girl did say the lower the better I don't think you'll make it much lower without rollin those fenders, but she def rides good now, I enjoyed my 2 hours in the GTI

South Jersey CL

all the way to tha flo

mcajka

yea thats a good start. ill be at that point too with smaller series of tires.

yea my gf didnt like the idea of going lower but oh well MAH CAR. i have started to foll my fenders already so i will be starting to crank the coils down the rest of the way here soon.

ill have some pictures up later on i just couldnt load them last night my computer was being stupid

u need to upload some meet pics too fool

mcajka

hey now. hey now. i will. and a 57 trim on my car is going to put me at the 400 mark if i wanted to do that. i might go a tad bigger to go over 400 on 93 octane. i havnt decided on that one yet though.

57 trim is pretty sizeable for a streetcar bro lol.

WI about the best thing you can do for a boosted car, imho -- just make sure the rest of the drivetrain is up to the tq increase if you're going for power rather than just det suppression: SP makes a decent kit, but if looking in that range the labonte stuff worth taking a peek at, as well. it's a treat to watch your car evolve, best luck with the plans.

mcajka

ill be upgrading the drivetrain along the build as well. the only thing im worried about is my axle i have a ripped boot so i will need a new one soon. other than that i am good to go i hope. im looking for a garage to build in this winter as well so i dont have to listen to my parents complain they are cold when they get in their car in the winter.

mcajka

i think i have decided to go gt3076r for my setup. i have been reading some bad things about my car on a t4 setup. i don't want those problems ill just go dual ball bearing rather than journal bearing.

duluoz

^another wise decision, bb chra ftw.

mcajka

thank you and it will be powered by a gt3076r with a 38mm wastegate and a 1bar BOV both from tial! i might just end up building my head as well since it will be apart so i dont have to go back in and build it. that really will just happen if my funds are there

Let me know if you want help on the build Mat, I would love to get my hands dirty on some turbo work

mcajka

i will do that for sure. like i said i need a garage this winter. if i buy the kit like now i can have it done before winter. so then i would just need a storage garage. but i probably wont get it now so i need a work in garage. i just got off the phone with the company who rounds the whole kit up and im getting a good deal for all the bits and bolts and turbines i need. im pumped.

pictures i took today. they are all unedited and some what grainy. oh well c and c welcome

duluoz

i pretty much never dig vw's for appearance, but slammed clean black + bronze = actually gives that car some sex appeal. about as good as it could be done imho (minus the vinyl ).

thanks guys for the compliments. i am going out sometime this week with a few ohio dubs that are INSANE. so hopefully i can get some other good pics

I miss that beautiful VW!

Cl's look so much bettwe lowered when the wheels are flush with the fenders, like in arbers pic above, i feel like the rear wheels are in way too close on stock offsets & whatnot.

mcajka

thanks man. ill be totally 100% honest. its all about STANCE. get a nice set of wheels some spacers and slam your car and you win. if you get the chance check out vwvortex in the vw section and go to the 337/20th/gli section. there will be a stance thread there. that is what its about guys. check it out and tell me what you think.

i have a few ideas for wheels on my car. they include
merc alphards.
merc 2 piece mono blocks
corvette sawblades from a c4
porsche turbo twists
porsche lobster claws.

those will be after my build though this winter and spring.

mcajka

so i am 22" from the ground. what i mean is from the ground to the bottom of my fenders is 22" my oil pan is a tiny 5" from pavement. i will be lower when i get a streched tire and my new wheels. which will be spring.

If money is no issue go with a JDM canover air ride system. I knew a guy with a jdm h22 engine in a 94 accord that had canovers and auto-x with them. They ride and handle great.

mcajka

i drive a vw but i REALLY WANT to do air ride. ill be going with a company called mason tech or BDA-felgian that reside about 45 min away from me. they do ride alot better and handle alot better than the original air rides that were out.

mcajka

so today i started classes again. thank god im almost done though. i drive into school and about 2 seconds later i hear ASSS HOLE. and the best one was. hey i like beer and cars can we fuck! ha ha all these responses are from the stickers on my car. the NO FAT CHICKS. and the other is a beer can two people having sex and then a car. lol i had a good time.

DaInFaMMuS1

lol you've gotta see the amount of stickers my friend has on the back of his Civic w/a type-r swap in it. The worst one says "your girl inside". People dont seem to like that one lol.
