Hello, did you make all of the parts, even the Aluminum one?

All parts are made by made:) except the rod ends. I CNC machined the torsion housing piece when I was studying mechanical engineering at BCIT. They are pretty beefy I think.

Now that is some cool looking DIY stuff.

strutt brace
 

Hi mate I like the look of your strut brace I remember seeing a company in Canada who makes something very similar to this.Did you buy this or fabricate it yourself ? .Great build by the way, some clever mods n fabrication,love the wheel choice and stance :cool:.

Hi Graham, like the front spoiler on your car on your Avatar.
Any bigger and close ups?

Still looking for info on that strut brace VW1303

Hi, something wrong with your link.

The front strut brace is made by me:) I was inspired by the heigo one.

Made an IAC block off plate. Makes tuning the idle alot easier......

Had to make an extension for my throttle cable as it was rubbing the silicone coupler off the turbo. Also modifed my throttle pedal so I can get full throttle:rolleyes:

Found a model I got in Japan a few years ago digging through my old garage on my dads farm.

Man these little details to finish the car up seem to take forever!!! Im very close to street tuning it though. Hopefully in the new year:)

thanks for that vw1303 I just checked out the Heigo site, looks like thats the way to go.I wish I had your skills, some of the people on here are so talented and I am allways amazed at what they are capable of producing.Keep up the great work your car ROCKS

Maybe I missed this but what tranny are you running?

Great build.

Can I get some pics of your rear shock mounts, upper and lower?

Much appreciated.

Hey Dave,

To fit my rear coilovers I had to do a bunch of modifactions.

I sectioned out some of the rear trailing arm along with adding some gussets to the lower shock mount.

Here is a picture of my 5 bar setup. I might revise the attachment to the upper shock mount and fabricate it in steel.

Now for last month I have been a little side tracked doing this.

These will be the crowning jewels to roll on.:D

nice!!! i love the wheels. i recently picked up some sweet BBS RS's in Porsche pattern. their gonna be my "NICE" wheels ro roll on as well. so i thought id say that your car has been a big inspiration for my 1303. i got my type 4 motor running on MS1 efi, and have now decided to go water-cooled as well. but im choosing to go with a WBX motor. hoping that tomorrow i can go pick up the motor. and YES, it will be turbo'd as well.

Gotti Rims? Nice.

Yep they are Gotti wheels. Made in France back in the day. I was contemplating BBS RS as well but could never find a set for the right price. Those will look awesome.

Also couldn't resist this...
