the rot box


the engine 1,6

now for some stress and modify parts
firstly a nice std vr6 complete runing from a mk3 vr6

then ripped engine apart and turboed it ,along with engine internals

and decide the std gearbox would hold enoegh hp ,so bought a 4motion 6 speed and made that fit,

then bought drives clutch,prop

next rear axle for 4wd system


just makeing a stnd alone ecu for the rear axle ,and a engine stand alone ecu ,,,,as i thought get all the basic runing sorted so i can start chopping the caddy up ,,,
