not normally a fan of bolt on arches but that looks mega!

you've not had much luck at all with this car lately have you :( at least you're still making progress though

just get some free web hosting, or paid web hosting if you want some peace of mind and host the images yourself. You've always got the option of having a website for "Team Prawn Racing" then too :)

surely it would be better to check master cylinder clearance with this turbo if it's what you're going to be running rather than checking it with a turbo that you're not going to be running? Or did you check before the decision to swap turbo was made?

I could be wrong but I believe the block required an overbore due to damage from the last blow up hence the need for oversized pistons rather than OEM

Hose Technik (Forge) should be able to make you some braided ones to your specification, just need to tell them the length and what fittings you need on the ends. Usually done same day too so shouldn't have to wait ages for them to be made.

admittedly I don't track either of my cars and they're not set up for handling the way yours is so it's a different situation but I own a fwd Ibiza cupra and a haldex S3. Even though the Ibiza is lighter, lower and probably slightly more powerful I much prefer driving the S3, it just has so much...

adding a diff at the back would balance the weight out a bit :)

whats the reason behind going 1.9 over 2.0, is it just the cost of the 2.0 crank or do you think the 1.9 is better suited to the rest of the build?

is the block salvageable at all or is the cylinder bore damaged as well?

vagcat.com is another one for etka but partsbase.org looks good, don't know how I hadn't seen that one before!

looks like he's put plates under the rear vents to try to stop that

You gave it away when you said it was off a French car or I would never have guessed

Electric power steering pump??

or if you're thinking of modifying the strut top in a big way anyway why not just cut the cone off, move it inwards by the 10mm that you need and then weld it back on keeping your existing top mounts or would that reduce your outward adjustment too much?
