    For now I am under turbo engine construction.

    What i have: All GT4 (st185) engine parts include harness and ecu, except engine block and head.
    So decided adopt 3sge engine. '
    The block is 3gen 3s, the head is 2gen 3sge, ported to mach t-vis system.

    It seems that nobody has don it before.
    It's hard to find gte head, but ge head is cheep and easy to find, so why not to experiment.
    2gen 3sge head porting process:

    You have a good base for restoration. In the pictures, the car appears not need to be painted. Maybe, Polish him solve the problem.

    you will change the wheels?

    The color is old and polishing didn't solve this...
    Thees wheels is first gen audi A3 alloys, they are forged, and rim weights just 5.8kg R15 and ET is 39, in picture they fitted with 195/65 tyres (way too big) for now it is 205/50, and looks much better. I bought thees for track use.
    For road use I have r16 borbets, but looking for something interesting; oldschool O.Z. or TTE.
