Cool cool. As I've said to Kingcity the non-flared Turbo 1 shape kinda grows on you. I was going to mod mine to look like a T2 but having one of each I like the different looks. Also I seem to get more looks/attention in my T1 than the T2....must be the typical red/black bonnet paint scheme that does it.

It's not gonna be full stock t1 looking, you'll have to wait and see what I've got planned ;) that's weird the t1 gets more attention, you would assume the flared/wide body of the t2 would pull more heads. Black bonnet could be a factor and the fact that t1 advertises the fact that it's a turbo a lot more than the t2.

Went to pick a part today, they have the most bogan looking T1 I've ever seen in. Complete with rattle can matte black, monster stickers, metal militia stickers, vinyl wrapping on the dash board that tries to make it look carbon fiber, red insides where the matte black was missed, just absolutely terrible. Anyway I did manage to nab a couple things.

Had this aftermarket Bosch coil pack, so decided that would be nice to have. Pick a Part farked up and charged me SEVEN DOLLARS for the coil pack + bracket. Stoked.

Speedo cover that isn't cracked! It's farking filthy but I'll get it a good clean and it'll look sweet.

$18 total, happy days.

New toys for more boost and more boost!

Should give me less lag and more boost than the current bleed valve that I have

VI95 Turbo (from holden rodeo turbo diesel) need to some small things to get it to fit (and I'm going to add in the water cooling instead of blocking it up) and need a new dump pipe then I'll put this bad boy in at the same time as I get new exhaust

Good to see your getting in to it. The turbo looks to be the same size as the T2 turbo, whats the exhaust side like. I had one ages ago but it was the model up so had a larger exhaust throat which was way to large for the city manifold.

Exhaust side is good, more noticeably bigger but not too big

Also went to Todd's today to see how the city was coming along. Guards are looking really flush and he's got a little bit of paint on. Told me to come back tomorrow and everything should be back together and then he should be completely finished by next weekend :D

Slammed ;) Is that with the Zoom Springs?

Yeahp! It's actually slightly too slammed.. Inside of guards is rubbing against the tires, going to get them rolled this weekend. Another week with it off the road :( it looks really good though! Really happy with the height, although it's slightly higher in the front. Considering putting the old ones back on for even more low and an even height. I'm not sure if it would be rubbing with the factory guards because I had mine fabricated after they were chopped off by the previous owner

What size wheels are you running? I'd like to lower my T1 as it's only got 13"s & tiny tires :p
