Here are some pics from before paint. It might not be a problem for you, but I just bring it up because the ducting concerns are ones I found when researching the rad ducting for the beetle and for my bus, and so far mine have worked. In short, just make sure the air can get out easily.

I have nearly my entire spare well cut out so I think there is lots of room for the hot air to go. But time will tell I guess.
A little more progress.  Got my ECU.  Starting stripping the original wiring harness. The manual from EMS is quite vague so I have alot of work to do in the wiring department.  Coolant pipes are all welded and beadrolled. I have all my clamps and hose couplers. Started laying out the fuel system. Bosch 044 being fed by a Facet low pressure pump through a surge pot and out to the injectors. I am going to mount the fuel pump at the back of the spare tire well using some leftover 2.5" silicone couplers and clamps to reduce vibration. The surge pot is going to go next to the driver side front strut.  Stage III Pressure Plate and Clutch is arriving today and so is Innovative wideband.

Nice
Hi, was that up-corked? I see everyone having cut the side interior sheet metal. How much is it too wide? Also have you tried to lay the hood down for clearences? I know that the Subaru engine will clear, but how close is the crank pulley to the rear apron?

I should have had a heart rate monitor on when I hit second gear.
 I need more than just a back alley to get a proper feel for it. It felt amazing having that much power behind you. And knowing all your hard work has paid off is pretty sweet too. Hopefully I can stay motivated enough to finish the car now that it is running. I just want to drive it  Uni-ball set-up was for a project in my engineering classes. One off.  I'm not sure how much more cutting is going to be required to fit my rear apron on but when all the bodywork is installed it should be quite the sleeper.

After seeing your 1303 with those Sick fuchs wheels made me re think my green rims Are those 15x8 all around? Also did you roll your fender using a hammer and a rubber mallet? Last edited by Oldskool1303; March 19th 2011 at 14:08.

 Started working on some aluminum door panels.  And some ducting for the intercooler which is going to be fed by to NACA ducts and 3" flexible hose in the rear window. Started on the rear firewall. That is going to be a big task.  Here are some more photos of the cage. This picture was taken just after I had the entire thing powder coated. 3 years ago  I need to support my steering rack better. I CNC milled a pedestal that the rack sits on but I want to tie it into my front strut brace as well. This picture show when i was using the rabbit rack with made my wheels turn opposite!!!  Picked this up as well. Along with some heavy duty axles and cv's. Car still needs some tidying up but hoping to put in on the road in April  JDM sticker is the symbol for new driver in Japan. It's a magnet and came with a cheap steering wheel I got. I was having some computer compatiblity problems so I haven't tuned the ecu yet. But I looking forward to putting it on the dyno and see what it can do. Last edited by vw1303; March 28th 2011 at 14:55.

Those rear tyres in particular look too stretched to the point where they would be beyond any tyre manufacturer warrantying them for use in this application. The only tyre that I can find that is approved for fitment to 10x15" rims (apart from off-road tyres) is a 285/50x15 thats 4% larger diameter than stock.
