sounds pretty good. looks awesome too

may I ask why you stuck with the 1.6?

 

already had it. Don't see too many 1.6 builds so just decided to go a different route.

 

I thought you were totally handicapped until I saw this:



Props for it and what you're doing. 1.6 is kinda fail but whatever it's your thing and by the looks of it, you're doing it well.

 

thanks man!

 

Matt_V2_Man!!!! Its about time you got on here... lol
Welcome! Been following you on instagram for a while now. You are making pretty good progress

 

haha ive been hesitant about coming here with a useless 1.6 lol. But I understand theres a ton of information on here that would be usefull to my build and knowledge!

Thanks though!

 

Benn watching your progress on FB....and being jelly of having the time lol. Kepp up the good work.

 

hey buddy!! hopefully I can come up in the spring to IA and hangout with you again!

 

Not quite useless... just not optimal. lol
But, Being that you worked with what you had, you definitely did it properly.

Just.... considering the fact that you can get a 1.8 for sub-$500, and all the parts you have would have cost the same across the board for the 1.8, For the little bit extra, and a few extra hours (literally a few) you could have had a bit more room to play, and an "optimal" setup.
( NOT a diss in any way, just explaining the thought process of 1.8>1.6 in a build as extreme as yours)

But, you did what you did the right way, and made the best out of what you had, so for that you get lots of props

 

Yeah It was one of those....well I already have it... already have the itb manifold... already wanted to go full custom turbo kit so I just owell ill stick with it. lol

 

Is it fast?

 

not at all. sleeps on jack stands and still has the mock up motor in it.

 

Do you have a cat?

 

whats that?

 

a *****
