The car ive been using for measurements is in a different state for 2 weeks

All i can do now is collect all the parts i need and might just have to wait until october until my 86s arrive.

Damn that sux, @jet86 , maybe approach a difference member on the forum who is willing to donate time / car.

jet86 · 07-22-2012, 07:18 AM

lol

os86 · 07-22-2012, 07:24 AM

let me see if @WTF is interested , he usually doesn't care about that sort of stuff but he is in brissy.

If I had my car I would just drop it off at your workshop ...but I wont get mine for a while due to the long waiting periods

jet86 · 07-22-2012, 07:46 AM

if i wait for my car il be able to take my time and make it perfect. I dont want to get a kit out there first, Id like to build a super reliable high quality kit.

Awesome work! looking forward to see how it ends up and of course because you are based in Aus we know this kit will be fine for RHD cars

WTF · 07-22-2012, 10:36 AM

Haha it does make things pretty difficult, I could knock up the turbo manifold if I had some stock headers if anyone has put some aftermarket ones on :p.

Yep, it will be fine for LHD cars too as the turbo sits infront of the engine. Very similar area to the hks SC system.

So many times people forget that patience is a virtue, I applaud you for taking the time to do it correctly!
