Mania intake hey? In love with the sound?

yeah it's a bit addictive, but not as good as the sound of my VR6 golf though.

while i'm here, replaced clutch with an Exedy HD. grips like a mofo compared to what i had.
also replaced throw-out bearing and pilot bearing, rear main and gearbox input shaft seals and cleaned a good half kilo of caked on sh*t out of the bellhousing

that was a very horrible experience on my garage floor solo. now i know the labour costs for a clutch change are worth it. i feel like i'm still recovering.

i have half made a nice little camera mount for the roll bar diagonal, but i'm doing 11 hour days at work so i have very little motivation/daylight/time to finish it off.

because everybody likes pictures:

so i have received some wheels

updates on my blog @ unobtainableisnothing.tumblr.com

also, i installed a Carbing strut brace with a brake master-cylinder stopper. awesome mod (mostly for the BMCS)
you know that feeling of your brains squishing towards the back of your face? the brakes give that feeling now and it's awesome.
