Well gentlemen, the time has truly come. I want to nip this thing in the bud, and get it all on with before I leave to go to Afghanistan, where it is possible that I may not come back, in which case, rabbitonroids will be bequeathed all of my vw goods
. I need a transmission good to about 450ftlbs, of the quick variety, I'm thinkin an 020, with a longer final gear swapped in for highway cruisin, also keeping in mind that the flywheel and crank will be lightened to an extreme degree, the engine wil turn about 7500rpms red, and this whole operation will be sitting pretty inside of an 01'mr2 spyder. I would just love to have a lim. slip diff. however, we should all be able to dream right? I have a lot of needs, and not a lot to offer, I'm afraid, I have some goods to trade, and perhaps some services
"no women, no kids
" JK. but all in all I want to see if any of you have some goodies that you have been holding off on, like that bottle of chardonnay, from you're wedding night. I am also looking for piping and intercooler for my setup, as well as the two turbos needed to make this a reality, a euro vnt17 and a vnt22, and realistically just the exhaust housing , and compressor sides respectively. I will also need brackets for the mounting of the transmission and engine, as I do not currently possess them, as well as the actual brackets that weld to the frame of the car "mk1 rabbit" As stated before this will all be used to be mounted into an 01'mr2 spyder. I will use the stock alternator, or perhaps a variant to make the tach work, and the bracket will most likely be a custom job. I will need gaskets and hoses, etc. to build the engine and am looking for good prices on these goods and I know that some of you have extras of these lying around. I know that this all sounds a bit needy, but I am on a bit of a time restraint and am very highly motivated to make this work and get this done. That being said, I would also like to recruit anyone willing to help me with this, you can PM me for more details. I must apologise for being so striagtforward in my request, however, this is somewhat of a possible final request from one diesel dubber, to the masses. I still also need to sell, or repair the 1.5 N/A 80' rabit that I have so anyone interested in that is more than welcome to make me an offer, I have many gasser 8v parts for sale, as well as other things, for many cars. I have a full chevy 350 engine for sale, as well complete four bolt main. as well as my 54' plymouth project car. I am currently re-doing a mk-1 dash, wth resin and refinishing it for re-insertion into a complete 78' rabbit, which I also have. All cars are complete, and have good parts, I have to sell or junk, becasue of having to pack up all of my worldly goods to put into storage. My wife and daughter will be going to stay with her family in Okinawa, Japan and it will be impossible to send all of this anywhere. At the very least I would like for all of this to go to a good home, and know that it wil be taken care of. I don't really have a price on things, but I will post up pictures, as they come of all of the things for sale/trade. I am going to be very busy with pre-deployment training, so with that said if I do not reply, just try calling . I will answer all question as they come, I also must apologise for anyone kept waiting here on word of goods etc. I have two hydro cams from an aaz, as well, I cannot really express my gratitude to all of those here on the forum enough for their priceless knowledge and wisdom, but all good things must come to an end, and that does include, these things. I really cannot convey in words the urgency in my wish to sell, or in my motivation to finish this project befoe I go to a war zone. That being said, my wife completely understands, and all is well with my family. This is a family forum, and I consider all of you the very best of friends. I have more than I can express in words, so without further ado, I'll start compiling the pictures of everthing, and you should know this is the first forum to have this posted, and the only. I want to sell/trade to ohers for a good price for them, as money is really meaningless to me, but I would like to have something for my efforts, as well. So many have done so much for me already, and I hope I can keep going on.
God Bless, and Semper Fi,
Kevin
