it has begun

well... i've finally started on my MK1.5! let's see how long it takes before i go insane :biggrin:

well... engine's out, bay is getting prepped, 3sgte to come on thurs *if i get everything finished*

good work :bigthumb:

keep us updated :D

So this is going to be a mark 1 with a turbo or n/a mark 2 engine?

With the turbo the car would be scary fast...200hp and what only 2200 pounds?

it's getting a genII 3sgte - so... the 225 hp stock turbo one :naughty:

okay.

Does the new motor come with an air conditioner, or are you going to install your old one? (if you can)

actually.... i just ripped out almost all of the A/C ducting and the condenser tonight... i'm going for minimalistics on the car
luxuries = stock, soft seats


i have to relearn the uploading pics thing... here's the engine, i'm too tired to do all of the pics i have right now

Well it's been close to a week since your last post, any more updates/pics?

your car will be a monster!!! My SW20 has a Jspec 3SGTE motor in it right now and I love it!!!!!
