^Bought Porterfield R4-1 pads, very happy with those. The previous Hawk pads were useless.

Powdercoat or paint?

 

seeing your rims is making me wanna go and refurbish mine...haha.

 

sweet wheel color. wish I could powdercoat my center section but I have 3 piece wheels. SSR days they don't have replacement center seals. dam!

 

Paint +clearcoat . I did look at powder coating but they didn't have any colours that came close to what I wanted .

 

Yeah paint is always the better option. Nice work, they look great, I like the shade of gold, I usually don't like gold wheels.

 

You can go straight to Dubai with those wheels

I went for the dark side but i did a mistake by powder coating the hub of wheel on inside, not the best move, I now have a slight imbalance that I cant get rid of I was concidering to try to machine off the coat of by taking it 0.5 - 1.0mm down, but I'm not sure if thats a good solution.

 

Time to get serious

 

A GT1241? Sweet.

 

never heard of that one ? No , it's a mix of components based around a GT3582r

 

I was just being a smart ***, the 1241 is a tiny Garret turbo, .

Nice man!

 

Someone has a new toy!

 

I wanna see it installed.

 

Just to look at for now ........... be a while before i get to fit it ....

Local guy will build the mani. for me but he can't start it for a month or so .

 

Cool, will it be hand made? Any chance for a CAD?

 

Yeah hand made .... getting together a dummy engine and hopefully an engine mount so most of it can be done off the car .

CAD ? you have to be joking ! Anyway .... lets wait to see if it actually works first LOL

 

Hey a guy can dream.

 

Greatness

 

sweet 62MM?

 

yes ... stock 3582 compressor wheel

 

Around about here .

 

Have you measured the max distance from the engine to the chassis where the hot side will sit? I assume so, just wondering if you know what that number is.

 

It's going to be tight ... but I'm pretty sure it will fit

 

That's right where mine sits. I had to put the velute almost straight down then rotate the cold side very close to the engine, but then I went with a smaller cold side velute and had plenty of room up front.


Don't forget about the 1/2" or so that the transmission sticks out past the engine right there. If you have an extra shield that fits there it will help with the fitting.
