    Seatbelts weren't working with my rollbar and seats so I got NRG harnesses. Work great and look nice.

    Canards are on! It was annoying and difficult to get them lined up properly and to make sure both sides were symmetrical to each other lol.

    So i took a chance and bought these new door pull/openers from a company called Matos Motors. They added me on Instagram and i decided to check out what they had. Found these 3D printed door openers and they are pretty sweet. And easy to install lol. They replaced the entire door locking and opening cup/mechanism with a lockable pull strap opener. I like that it matches the rest of my interior too.

    Some engine degreaser, simple green, a nylon brush, and a hose: looks brand new. I still need to clean the air filter.

    Haven't updated in a while.

    Just picked this up:







    It's a Garrett GT2871r. Will be a little while before i install. I need to do some maintenance first. Need to do timing belt and water pump. Also need to replace all the engine seals cuz it leaks oil everywhere lol. Going to source an LSD and will also be raising the car a bit. Will also need to order a Megasquirt for engine management. I plan to have it installed and tuned by next summer

    The turbo is good for 250-350whp, but i won't be building the motor just yet so i will be aiming just below 250whp.

    In the meantime, some more photos of course lol.

    Car is looking sweet! Who made the turbo manifold and downpipe? Also what seats are those? I looked back but never saw you name the manufacturer.

    Thanks! The manifold was made at a local shop and is based off the begi s4 manifold. The downpipe as well, i believe. It doesn't look as nice but it works lol.

    And my seats are made by Cipher.
