More info on your ball joint extenders. Is it a kit you ordered and had welded? Also, is it a heim joint style at the base? Thanks!

[simon_C]

Next time you see Bethany, tell her you know Simon, she'll get a kick out of that. My uncle loves the concept of your car.

wish the rain would stop so i can drive the damn car more

[psychobandito]

I know how you feel...

[-RalleyTuned-]

awesome. Im sure this thing rips, i have a similar setup in a mk3. Id recommend moving FPR. The vibration and weight can cause the AN fittings to break. Id hate to see the car catch on fire.

It will be fine, they only have issues when there is a couple between the rail and the FPR. With it mounted directly to the fuel rail fitting, it won't cause any issues. However I will say that if that fitting is the plastic one, it will eventually break off because of the weight, but it looks from what I can see to be the heavy duty metal o-ring type.

Car is looking great, would love to see some dyno numbers!

you are correct. it is a metal AN fitting with an o ring and a layer of RTV around the whole thing just in case.

dyno will come soon hopefully. work has been crazy so not much time to focus on the car
