Title: Other projects on the go?
Post by: 88xj on March 05, 2011, 07:26:07 AM: I'm interested to see what Othe projects you guys have going.
I have an 84 vw rabbit I'm in the middle of turboing. I had built a 1.8 stroker for it but got bored of it, so it's onto boost should be running 8psi for now untill I'm done the other motor which I will run at 15psi. So enough about that what do you guys have going on?

Is that the great big king sized mattress of a car that was there last summer? One motor under the hood, and one in the trunk?

That thing was awesome! Ive never seen a car that could park your TJ in the trunk and still close all the way!

That's like saying that the Titanic is 3 feet shorter than the Exxon Valdez. Ain't nobody gonna notice that small a difference on that big of a boat.
