i hope you got skills on the sanding since you are going shaved moldings, cause when it's "wavy" due to it being uneven, looks like total ass. no matter how much time/money is spent on it. So take EXTRA time on that ----, cause I know first hand it is a pain in the ass to make shaved moldings like it came from the factory. :3

I swapped from driving RHD to LHD without any problems. It comes really naturally, apart from the odd occassion when you reach for the gear stick and find the door catch.

Lol, I drove it back and forth to school for 9 months.

The point was, a twin turbo d series is truely worthless to do as a function of efficient turbocharging, just like swapping the steering wheel from left to right, but you still did it, and I'm still doing what I want. Hell, the twin turbo D series would be something I would be interested in too, but you're basing your opinion on the function of what I'm doing, when you shouldn't be throwing rocks in a glass house.

No its not. In fact Im getting ready to do a twin turbo setup on my single piston Craptor 350. ::)

Steve like others have said, no need to defend why YOU are doing what YOU want with YOUR car. Hell, I got $5 on a set of Alt33zas for you! :P

At the time I did that project nobody had an answer to that question. The purpose of that project was to see if I could get 2 cheaper, more available turbos to function as good as an expensive single. That project did have a function in the name of going as fast as possible for as cheap as possible.


I thought this was going to be a racecar and not a showcar. I wasn't throwing rocks, I didn't even post anything negative until your Mustang comment.

Or 2 cheaper, more available turbos to function as good as a junkyard price single. You can't put them up to a GT series or similar turbo, don't kid yourself.
