I notice in the before and after pics, you've got a new bumper cap on the nose. I suspect this is because of the conversion to a turbocharged engine. It was Wataru, after all, who told us this

"Turbo is powerful. It scares people. It changes the front of the car"

I see clear evidence that after being made turbo, the front of the car is changed!

This is a Porsche 944.



This is a Porsche 944 Turbo. Note the clear differences in the front of the car. I rest my case.

Hey, it's magic markers. Get it right.

And did Turbo change the front of the car, or did it not?

mmm those slicks would look allot better on your car...

well needless to say I am very interested in this project. I would also be interested in any before and after stats on the car such as curbweight,(aprox) 0-60 and other stuff..

nbw: gave the slicks to a friend, they were like 1/2" too wide. were outside the fenderwell, and i can't have that or alter it... it'll change the class of the car. as far as stats go, it was a stock 1985 n/a mr2, and i'll post all the after stuff... hopefully in the next couple weeks.


other updates:
back from china, time to get the car finished.

wiring still = evil.
started her up again, but all the fans go on... and the battery arcs when the cable gets attached. went through some connections and apparently there is a live wire grounded somewhere...
sooooo this happened now


should be sorted out tonight or after the 4th o' july weekend

happier news, the intercooler is done... actually, was before i left but i have a pic now!


any way... lots more to come, hopefully soon.
