My N/A Build--Finally Started thread!

[fourthchirpin]

dont have much of a update but I got KW V1 suspension for the car and I changed the rear main seal since it started leaking.



list of things to do before the 2012:


install suspension
change ignition switch
put back tranny once I receive some parts for it. (est. late - NOV)
update the firmware in the MS3X.
install an iac to get the car to idle smoothly.
a header.

[-skidmarks-]

any progress is good! git-r-dunn bro!!!

[FLATBLACKMK2]

been a long time homebot inspirational to say the least...........

[fourthchirpin]

Parts came a month early yay!

coils are ready to go in , next week tranny will be ready, Header will be started soon as well



hopefully I can have everything back together by thanksgiving.

The Webpage of the Build CAN'T be seen on IE or OPERA browsers. (its an issue with the html code with those browsers)

Great build ! I have a similar setup of transmission and axle is my corrado, I was wondering if you could tell me how much clearance you have between the cup an the axle on the driver side. Mine as got really limited clearance maybe . I have been running it without issues up to now but I'm thinking of getting harder front crossbar bushing and a harder trans mount to prevent the axle from touching the top part of the cup in harsh conditions. I'm currently running WRD engine mounts inserts.

[fourthchirpin]

im using a bfi mounts all around, they aren't an issue now but once i get everything on the road then I can make a better judgement. but they are stiffer then my vf mounts that I have in my daily mk3.

[VanHalen]

Still no passes

update: transmission is back, semester finals end wednesday. I will try to get this thing back in the car before Christmas!


I huge thanks to Ed/Fabian/Tony at Force Fed Engineering they continue to go above and beyond with service.

Everyone have a blessed and joyous Christmas.
