So last night im driving in my AAZ MKIII golf to my buddies house to pick up my compressor....when I stop at a red light and there is a young kid with his girlfriend sitting in a hyundai accent.....it seemed to me they were laughint at my car. (Im not surpirised since I bought it for $200, it is a little beat up and 2 colours.) Anyways light turns green I take off driving normal.....then I heard the accent sqealing its tires as it passes me.....well something clicked and all of a sudden im trying to catch this kid.......by the end of first he was one car length in front of me....I shift into second....tires sqeal....start catching up really fast.....by mid third I was one car length in front of him.....and he was stuck in a very thick and black cloud of smoke!!!!!

Its done up alright.....running 30lbs from a T3.
This weekend im working on a 2.5inch downpipe for it along with a side exit exhaust (straight pipe)....not sure ifs its gonna be side exit 100% yet.....but I think so. And then I want to install the srt-4 intercooler I have with but I need to modify the endtanks.

There arent that many mods.....rebuilt head with a little home porting. The motor itself has about 400k kms. I have a stronger clutch as the stock one was slipping at about 17psi. The fuel is turned up a tad, and a 2.5inch intake with a green cone air filter. Im working on exhaust and intercooler in the upcomming days. I also have a self ground boost pin.

Im running a 8v clutch disk and a 16v pressure plate. It seems to be holding great and from what I recall it was a fraction of the origianl clutch. I think the set up cost me just over $100 bucks....maybe 120 or something like that. I would have to dig up my receipts.

Well it looks like exhaust is getting done sooner than I thought. The stock one fell off today.
Any recommendations on what I should do....I know im doing 2.5 inch downpipe.....but I dont know if I should do side exit cause of the smoke......the car will be covered in it.

thanks !
it's for sale! it would go real nice in your collection down there but the steering wheel is on the wrong side for you but i don't think you would mind that? just like i would not mind a right hand drive caddy either!
