Sandblasting --- $50 (or a cheap sandblaster kit for your compressor - $50)

A lot easier to prep metal that way... Unlike this joker...

Yeah, must admit I'd appreciate working out how the outer guard remains original and relatively straight myself!

Wonder if your BA bulge idea would hide this little lot?! Heheheh. Guess turning extractors upside down and putting a pipe to the turbo from the head for some oil is a nice easy way of boosting...! Could hear it coming from two towns away!

As proven in countless threads (half of them my own) this is a very suitable position for cold air intake, being high air pressure zone. The intercooler (not pictured, inserted between turbo and head) is also in a nice, efficient, area. The engine bay cooling provided by loosing the bonnet in the swamp out back is nothing to be sneezed at.

Safety equipment includes cracked windscreen. You know damn well it's cracked already, so if you get cut up by it, IT'S YOUR OWN DUMB FAULT.

Aesthetically pleasing, most of the panels are red.

Please do, i wanna hear this new 3" exhaust :twisted:

The painted extractors look good by the way. Going by your sig, after the exhaust gets done, you might get lucky and gain 6+kw's to crack the 200 mark :P
