Welcome! I'm about 4 hours north of you. I like where you mounted the SAFC. Gives me more ideas where to mount some of my electronics when i get them.

Good luck with the car, and it sounds to me like you have a stable platform!

I'd rather not put many more pics on here unless it's progress pictures lol... The car is in horrible shape to be honest... Rusted 1/4's, no exterior trim, half flat black, cracked windshield, No interior just two destroyed leather seats.. lol it's kinda a project.. which I don't mind.
Supposed to be picking up a Garrett To4e tomorrow for it. (First piece to the new set up) I'm hoping to get a pretty stout turbo set up on it, nothing too extreme, and some good tuning... Thanks for the welcome guys

Welcome and the front crank seal is easy to replace one days work tops:evil2:

When your screenname refers to "ugly" mk3, I hope it's in reference to it's poor overall condition and not the body lines of it.

Otherwise........I'll have to start hurting someone.

Seems as if you've got a pretty solid powerplant to go off of.

I, as well, came from a very large DSM background. Aside from it, I previously owned a 3000GT single turbo. Yes, I used to be a Mitsu nut.

Anywho, the concept is the same as DSM, but the problems you'll run into are completely different. But when it boils down to it, MA70's > DSM anyday.

You're only about an hour away from me...so when the weather is more permitting, I'll probably make my way over to Cincinatti in hopes to meet up with a few of you guys sometime soon.

Welcome to the boards, Sean. If you thought your DSM was addictive, you're only digging yourself in a bigger hole now.

Lol thanks for the welcome... and yeah ugly is in reference to the pathetic condition of the vehicle lol. It'd be great to meet some people with these cars... All my friends are dsm guys so finding parts was easy... this car has proven to be a tad more difficult not to mention expensive lol... Hopefully it's a fun time and I make some good numbers with it...

 

[uglymk3]

well I got my coil and it's running... leaky blow off valve sucks
