nimbus?

[CodeMan]

Lookin' good. Do you have anymore interior pics you want to share? The PVW feature only had a couple small shots.

[spa]

I have to say that I really respect this car. The imagination and execution are top notch, well done.
Now add an intercooler already, that part made me so nervous for you..

[vesvw]

@JDMillhouse, yes its nimbus

@CodeMan, Thanks. Sure I will post some right now. Dont have a ton of pics of the interior right now.

@spa, Thanks for the kind words. A lot of hard work went into it. But yeah haha, on the intercooler. Reflex tuning said that the tune was good unintercooled for 12-14psi and I usually keep it below 11. I dont really drive the car too hard anyway. I have my M3 for that

[StabPrimo]

Wowzers! That interior is amazing! And I love Nimbus.

[under the radar]

[CodeMan]

@CodeMan, Thanks. Sure I will post some right now. Dont have a ton of pics of the interior right now.

Yep, that was the sound of my jaw dropping on the floor.... Amazing car man, much love coming from me!

[jkautz48]

Amazing interior!

[choochoo]

wow, that's clean. Like everyone else here, I'm very impressed with that interior. You made an econobox look downright luxurious!!!

[myeyesareopen]

looks great, in for engine shots

[JDMillhouse]

what motor is in it?

[vesvw]

Its an awp 1.8t motor. Stock k03s, 440cc, 2.5 turbo back, euro abf setup, stock internals, has like 50,000 miles on it

[cyclops594]

Whooooooa! What's going on with that dizzy and those plug wires?

Some info please.

[mk2_girl]

Ahhh love dark grey paired with a bold color. They really compliment each other...crispy.
Love the sunset mimicking the car. Sick shot and sick ride

Some info please.

that's one of them sideways caps. i think you can get 'em for 16Vs too.

this car is soooo nice.

[89Coupe]

Your car was the reason I picked up the April PVW

Great picture! I love the interior work.

[VW_MK_III]

Niceeee shot, and the interior looks great

[cyclops594]

that's one of them sideways caps. i think you can get 'em for 16Vs too.

Not the cap, I know about those, IIRC it's an ABF piece. I've never seen a 1.8t with a distributor, plug wires and that valve cover either...where's that from? Am I.missing something?

[GTIDamien_407]

Fantasitic, looks amazing dude and yes please enlighten us on what's going on with the motor.

[speedbird119]

fuk me sideways. that thing is hot.

i think that all the 20V heads had a spot for a distributor, but all the turbo versions had coilpacks and a block off plate. i think the NA motors in the rest of the world had distributors. somebody correct me if i'm wrong.

[vesvw]

Let me shed some light on whats going on there. I few years ago reflex tuning manufactured a 1.8t swap kit for easy swaps into mkIII cars. The kit came with a custom machined piece that allows you to mount the distributor in the spot where the cam positioning sensor is usually mounted. The cam positioning sensor isn't used anymore. Then your running a custom tune through the aba ecu. Valve cover is an agn. Intake manifold was made with a stock lower runner and a new end take welded on. When i mentioned that it has an abf setup I was referring to the alternator and alternator bracket, which is one of my fav things in the bay its so clean having the alternator mounted lower and no tensioning pulleys.

I've been researching a bit since he posted the pic, and the.only thing I've come up.with was someone fabing a bracket and using mk3 management(if that applies here I don't know), bug this was for a vanagon swap

The euro n/a 20v's I've seen looked nothing like that, even the valve cover doesn't look like his.

Edit: OP beat me to it.
Very nice man. I like that a lot!

[vesvw]

cyclops check the post right above yours.

[cyclops594]

cyclops check the post right above yours.

Check the post time and edit.

Got pics of this bracket, who did the tune and where'd ya find the kit?

[vesvw]

I dont have any good pics of the bracket atm.
C2 motorsports did the tunes for these. There used to be a couple articles on here about the kit but I couldn't find them. Its a great setup and has been dead reliable for me. I had this engine in matt crookes old mk3.5 cabrio for awhile before I put it in this car.

I think that the most well known car with this same setup is the red mkIII jetta coupe with mkII flares and borbet A's. Reflex Tuning did all the work on that car.

edit: I bought the kit directly from reflex a couple years ago

[vesvw]

@mk2_girl, thanks! Its crazy that the colors were perfect that night to get this shot. Its by far my favorite photo of the jetta.

@89coupe, Thats awesome to hear! Im flattered.

[cyclops594]

Right on. Yeah, I meant to include that question of how has been for you and what your thoughts on it were.
I really like the idea of this kit, I imagine it isn't in production any longer, but man its cool as hell.

[under the radar]

whoa...i was waaay wrong

after 20 years of messing with these cars, it's awesome to come across something i've never seen before.

[Rallye-ieffie]

Thats a very cool car!
