haha its not finished yet, and it wont look to bad once the bar and the pipes are all conected/on...

got my rego about 4 months ago, no inspections etc, ill have to get another mod plate for the turbo and cage, brakes etc etc.. soo see how i go then.. shouldnt have any dramas due to the fact that its perfectly legal because it doesnt potrude the bumper...

Yeah pictures can be decieving, looks like it would stick out way past the bumper

In NSW

1st Offence : 3 Months
2nd Offence: GONE!



Hmmm im thinking maybe it would as it wouldnt stick out further then the front bumper

bit of an update, got the front brace finished on the weekend, got the motor and all the elecs hooked up, and im just playing around with the intercooler piping, just 2 pics for now

Looks nice with the intercooler on it.
Needs a bigger numberplate to cover more of it tho

Yeah man looks sick

maybe you should angle the number plate down so that the air that it catches ends up in your intercooler...
How do you think that radiator will cope with more power?
looks sweet too
maybe a nudge bar to protect it...???

LOLOL true mechanic, you can see the bunderberg packaging beside the tools!!!
What a way to work

yeah about the radiator, i used to have the std mini radiator before this, it use to run on about 1/3 , i was going to put it back in, but i opted to go the suzuki radiator, i kept it from the donor car just incase, i had to put it on that angle to fit, but it will be a lot better than the mini one thats for sure...

about the numberplate, i think im going to get enough air on the cooler lol, aint much stoping it, and im sorta deciding weather to put a nudge bar like the clubbys came out with, similar design, just to keep the cops happy.. hoping to have it running this weekend, cant wait

would there have been anything wrong with puting the suzuki radiator in the same place as the mini one? on the inside of the guard? And do you have any pics where you can see the turbo in the car?

You could fit a rad in the standard mini spot but the gearbox come up in to that spot a fair way..... It would need to be a custom one.

Here's a pic now the GTI is a little smaller but the principle is the same and the gearbox sits exactly where the radiator would sit...

Very Nice indeed. I am new to these forums and have been very impressed so far with what I have seen with you guys cars. How did you run the turbo and intercooler piping??? I have roundnose GTi mini and notice that the ain't much room down the front of motor.
Also, how do you go with torque steer??? Mine jumps around abit with just worked G13B no turbo...
