here you go... hope you feel like a bad ass now... and in case not i'll double quoted ya for safe measures..

take care,
nash

Damn, now I feel all left out in the cold

[TightDub]

i though you meant if that was LITERALLY carl's manifold... lol... yes, mike made a bunch of them and as i said, i decided to pick one up. he actually has a few more if you're interested...

I was asking if it was Carls cause its powdercoated black and u said it was a mock up. No I dont want one...I just really liked it the first time I saw it and tht EW shd do a few of em for folk who might like em enough to buy one like u

[Nashty Rabbit]

stand out a little? wtf are you talking about, its outstanding already with all black. cant wait to see the outcome of this.

the rest of us can just quit with you having 2 stellar builds simultaniously....

<--jealous

i do love the all black theme many run, however, i really love the interior of the car and want to tie it into the bay in a few spots (valve cover being the most obvious). i hope it comes out looking good when all is said and done... if not, i tried and will go back and redo it to my liking... thanks for the comps jens

that would be better than cherry on top....

good seeing ya tonight! car looking amazing as usually homie....

Damn, now I feel all left out in the cold

don't worry adam... i got something to keep you nice and warm in 2 weeks time... we all doing the hot tub again?

his is, but think he went with a flat krinkled finish... and like i said, i wasn't sure if it was the look i wanted because (no offense to anyone that has this or will buy one from mike) large flat surfaces aren't really my thing, but mike did me a favor and "mocked" up one of the extra manifolds he had and sent the pics... what i wanted wasn't doable in the amount of time i had but between running the covers or this manifold, you are correct i "like em enough to buy one"

so more progress as the deadline approaches....

as mentioned, the valve cover was sprayed to color match the interior...



i had asked for a different radiator cover than what he has been using... seeing the temp switch up top was driving me nuts so asked him to finish the end with a circle and i'll go back and paint the vw logo (color matched to the interior) in the end circled portion of the rad cover....



their finishing up all the coolant hoses and they installed a new heater core. clamps drive me nuts so mike didn't mind spending my money and getting me some nice connectors for the hoses... thanks for sending me the invoice for the connectors... nothing like reminding a customer how expensive petty things can be....





and as usual, mike takes a arsty-fartsy pic that makes my day...



take care,
nash

[TightDub]

Gotcha..The mani looks good but the ITBs will be proper.

[Mean 'n Green86]

Thanks for the idea for the coilpack relocation bracket. you guys are top notch

[Grabbit]

Looks fine to me.....

X2, my VR harness looked the same way when I made it in 06, been a daily driver since.

[sk8ordie]

Dang!!, this thing is insane!!, im collecting everything and talking to mike to have them do a vr6 swap and watching this is serious motivation

[IronTrap]

Keep it up guys, looking great

[Nashty Rabbit]

thanks for all the comps fellas...

Thanks for the idea for the coilpack relocation bracket. you guys are top notch

people been relocating the pack since the beginning of time.... definitely helps clean things up a little...

zzzz. Are you keeping things under wraps for a SOWO reveal?

wake up brian, wake up.... nah... i'm not the secretive type. nothing here people haven't seen done many times over, and besides, defeats the purpose of sharing your excitement in a build thread...

so much has been done except for my horrible updating... lol... apologies ...

got the TT chip in to help squeeze a few more aggrasive ponies out this motor. mike got it solder'd in place nice and snug...



got the gruvenparts pullies and fuel bracket back from the powdercoaters....



the front end is beginning to look like a front end again....



air lines ran to the rear....



installed shifter parts new shift housing (donor housing bearing bad)



and as mike said "Your convoluted overly complicated dual beam HID system" is getting there...



so as you can see things getting closer and closer to being complete...

mike and the rest of the guys are pushing hard to get all this done so again much goes out to mike and the crew at eurowise....

take care,
nash

[Chrom0sexual]

I love me some eurowise

[Vee-DubbVR6]

[Nashty Rabbit]

thanks for the comps guys...

thanks, but honestly, i wish it were better taken care of so i could have left it the way it was, but given its history and state when i got it, i had no problems going this route....

Stellar job dude.guys...

*is that better Jay"mutha-f'in"Fay

didn't realize you spoke jaybonix craiger...

i love nash builds. awesome

thanks, but wish i loved them during the builds... of the 10,000 things that can and do go wrong with builds, especially builds with a tight time budget, its hard to love.... but sure once it's all said and done, i should be feeling the love...

so haven't posted because of ^^^^^^^^^^^^ had a big set back but spoke with mike earlier and looks like progress is being made today.... he said if the car is running by tonight he'd either send or post up some video of it....

having said that, there is a possibility the car won't be ready for sowo.....

mike insured me they'd do everything they could to have it in an operable condition, so best of luck.... and if more obstacles do pop up, so be it, car won't be ready for sowo but we will....

take care,
nash

[the dubshow]

too bad this wont be a SoWo

Cant wait to see one of your cars in person.

[Road Boss]

Well this sucks big time if the car is not ready. Well I going now so I hope to at least see you there.

[TightDub]

[PoorHouse]

You can only do what you can do, trying to rush it or force it will definitely **** something else up.

jake, i speak for both mike and myself when i say you are 100% correct! when speaking with mike earlier today, he said nothing about the finished product will be rushed nor will any corners will be cut and nothing will be forced... neither his style or mine...
