Parts
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.

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 New QA1 double adjuster came in. 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 Last edited by vw1303; December 19th 2011 at 16:53. |

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. Put the big lathe to use. These will be the crowning jewels to roll on. Last edited by vw1303; February 12th 2012 at 00:46. |

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.

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... Running 1303 for $400. Going to fix a little brake issue slam it and use it as a daily driver this summer Last edited by vw1303; February 21st 2012 at 13:18. |
