picked it up yeter day.

AA 1984 stock 1.8 with some sweet bits

the plan rebuild the body and get it looking better then new
repaint and add some fine body mods to it so it will stand out from the cordia next to it

3inch exhaust ,cut down gear shifter not a good idea,k&n air cleaner, bosh e101 upgrade, hiflow tc06 was hitting 10psi and the drive back but there is a lot of lag and a boost gauge

the body was very rought when i pick it up but should come along quickley just needs a bit of TLC

will keep every one posted with the build and how it all comes together

sounds like you have some fun ahead , there are some good mods there, I know you can fix the rust

with the exhaust you can fit some resinators and like GSR-PSI a Jasma rear muffler to quiet it down , or I have a 2.5 inch off a TC06 cordia

there where 3 shifters here also @ \/ \/
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16024

there is a balance shaft removal kit you can get off a Vfaq,
( you have to take off the lower timing cover to check )

http://www.vfaq.com/mods/balance-shafts.html

I cant wait to see it , now we need Goran to get onboard :)

Choice of cooler depends on how you want to go about the piping in the bay.

If the choice was mine, I'd use the cooler on the far right. Seems like a good design.

good thought but cost is a problem and i know that the rust will come back through in about 3 years so dont want to go all out this time round. when i go for the secont shot on the body it will be fun.

hmmm some good food for thought guys i was may be even thinking of a top mount buy custting the bonne and sticking the cordia bonnet scoop on top

Top-mounts due to size limitations, lack of ducting and heat soak are shit! Only thing worse than a top-mount is one installed on a cordia. Our engines sit far too high to allow one in the middle. If you want an inter cooler in the bay, go get yourself a water to air cooler..
