May I ask you how good are you at "basic stuff"?

And there have been a lot of tutorials posted here, just use the search engine.

I have a few tutorials on my site. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but they are fairly useful.

Well i use my parts frame for customs thing. I made a tach guage out of a fat round peice of plastic, cut out the shape, cut out the inner interface. I used straight frame peices to make a roll cage, by cuting them out, straighten them out, measure, and glue. Also try balz (sp?) its a soft wood, you can make plenty things out of it if u have imagination

1/4 or 1/8 inch blasa (small square) will work good for cages and stuff..
if ur good at carving u can get a block, there also are sheets of the stuff.

How can you possibly make a tutorial for the turbo if you have ony 3 cylinders connected to the manifold and have no idea (had no idea before a graphic explanation) where the intercooler is connected?
