hey bud very nice car.... considering sellin mine for this one....
one question how has it done only 8,000kms since imported when you state the turbo was serviced at 52,000kms and car is now at 68,xxxkms
68,000 - 52,000 = 16,000???????????
Forged Internals???????????
264 tomei cams, which by logic are procams which need to used with solid lifters... Have you changed the lifters or are they still hydraulic???
mate clearly you don't know much about custom installs... I'd jump at gettin it done for $500.... like seriously think about the time involved let alone materials and stuff...
if u wan2 spend less than that do it yourself...
man those cams are too aggressive had them in mine and took them straight out again... on the advice of john for jhh.... He told to stay far far away from them.... you won't get much power gains from them better off with poncams especially if no other work has been done to the head.
yeah final inspection or meguiars are awsome.... armorall is a dirty word with panel shops and detailers for a reason....
But i use Lanolin oil that you can get from your local mower shop works awsome
yeah man, by the time you get the stocko components up to scratch you won't be far off forged cost... i have a forged being built at the moment didnt even consider using stock components, especially if u've tricked out the head... Thats like putting a ferrari shell onto a vw body... sure it can be done and will work but wats the point....
man it's a tough thing, you say its a straight swap so wat do u mean by spend the extra money and get the 34???? but seriously if i was in your shoes cause i was not that long ago, you've made your car yours and obviously put alot of money and time into making it something that you've wanted, if you go to the 34 yeah its a higher rated car stock but your going to have to spend alot of money all over again to get it to be yours and not like every other one out there.... like think about it why would the guy wan2 swap the 34 for your car if he wasn't benefiting
