Re: My blue 5th gen bb8
Okay, just a quick update for now.
i been busy buying parts and I'm hoping to get time to install them soon. here's a quick pic of what i have
that's a Skunk2 inlet manifold with a high flow fuel rail, a p28ecu, a7 cams, a rear strut bar and a 60mm ally radiator.
i will be ordering slimmer fans and all that good stuff when it comes to it.
also I'm really scared of doing my cams so if any one has any advice or a guide without missing pictures, or even wants to lend a hand please let me know. i am lost when it come to the timing belt and valve adjustment/stem seals. like for real can i even get help ordering all the right springs and all the specific pieces ill need. thanks
anyway, the update is more about the dc exhaust manifold and downpipe i put on recently. pain in the ass to fit but its all on with no gas leaks. i had also got rid of the badly painted gold rocker cover and put on a white one which i think looks much better. i also test fit a turbo manifold just for fun. one can dream.

Re: My blue 5th gen bb8
I bought it off here probably a year ago, since then my turbo plans have died though. Might change my mind later down the line though

Quick update for you guys
s2000 seats in my lude
I didn't swap the seat pans as i really didn't want to take apart the seats. So in the end i make up some plates to adapt the rails and the existing fixing points on the lude. I also carpeted where my rear seats were but i don't have a picture for some reason. like always, video link here if interested:
