Hi snake man

mate it will need the return line as you have a reg on your engine that will lift fuel presher under boost , ,

as for the tank why can you not fit the fuel pump in the tank center section and it will double as a surge tank

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

I'm not following what you mean by fitting the pump in the centre section so as to double the surge tank size Buddy

Thanks to Peter Mac for the post and phone call, and to Peter Allen and all that posted about this idea.

 

Revised tank with internal pump and downward plumbing through the floor pan to solid lines.

 

Baffles to be added.

So life throws some curved ball's

 

Like kids

 

This is what happens from 30 mins of pleasure and the resulting 18 years of agony, you eventually have to buy them a car, but I have to say these 1.4L Supercharged Turbo GT Golfs have some real B*LLS ! and you have to love the paddle shift.

 

Paddle shift ? my quivering bundle of motherly love asks

 

Oh nothing son, forget I ever mentioned anything LMAO

Looks better than the 1988 Nissan Pintara that I just got for my son. Then again I may not be on the same salary and have a 30 year old son that has no money. What the heck I love doing it anyway. 8)

Hey Peter

 

I feel bad now, I didnt mean to big note, the money for that car came out of my savings for the Zed, my kid did it hard for years and suffered a lot, he is quiet, keeps to himself and worked his butt off this year to get through VCE, all he wanted was a 4 cyl Golf had no great dreams of a Tokyo drifter, so he comes across this at an absolute bargain not realising totally what he had stumbled across and I decided along with the wife to get it for him.

In Victoria this car passes under the low output turbo rules of under 125kw/tonne. The probationary driver of the car will still need to apply for an exemption from Vicroads and carry that letter with him at all times when driving the vehicle.

 

Lucky boy! Beats the clunker I had to save up for myself, at least dad is finally getting his Porsche lol

 

Given today was uni offer day I hope your son got the grades to get into whatever uni/tafe/qualification he was aiming for too!

Don't feel bad mate, My son loves his car as much as yours does his. We just gotta help them on their way as much as we can. ;)

Brucey totally nailed it!

 

And after weeks of waiting to get around to picking up these due to travel commitments for work, it took all of 30 seconds to get my rocks off when I unpackaged them LOL

 

God help me when I pick the engine and trans up in the next week or so  :o

Hey Gareth

 

Pis dont do them justice, more boxes to add to the waiting parts bin for the moment, but a ridiculously cheap buy to let pass by.

 

Cheers

Johnny

 

I measured up the Mini's, they are tooooooooooooooooooo toooooooooooo wide Buddy

 

These retailed at $3,500 for the pair, I nabbed them for $1,000

Posted

Yeah i didnt get that far into it as measuring just saw it and had an idea. But had a modernised z now going back to basics.

 

Was gona say 1k is still exy but thats damn cheap for porsche.than compared to zg lenses roughly same price these are bargain for complete headlight. What are they 997/cockster ones?
