Sold it. Chose to stick with the OE main pulley.

DANG! I really want to know if those really matter or show any difference at all.

[Mesoam]

why don't you just ask Chuck he's been using one for years

not to start this debate again but the HP the 90% of the people are running in these motors will not generate problems for harmonics

Those "Japanese" wheels are baller son... and you know it!

YES... those hoods! Do we know any canucks we can send over to Gemini to see what's going on with them?

Damn right they're baller!!! Completely badass! Like the dude over in Japan with the Volk TE37s.

Not really sure who is over in Vancouver that could help us out dude!

Congrats Nick, Your efforts have paid off.
I didn't get to say at Ikea - IPD, but I really like the wheels.

Any plans for a cruise after Five guys on Saturday. You need some updated rolling shots of that rig.
(maybe my wife will give my camera back)

YES! Rolling shots FTW!

But here's the bad news: I took off the 19's and put them "to bed" for the winter. Back to the winter wheels (18" Pegs). Maybe I can swap them back over just for the day? Any idea how the weather's going to be on Saturday?

Partly sunny. Probably a lot like today, I'll get the camera back.

Your car would look a lot better if you slam it, especially with those rims. Now, go get em' Kdubs bruh =)

Not going to happen bud... the wheels barely fit as it is. The car is about as low as I want to go if I want to keep my fenders intact...

Beautiful car. I'll be running an m66 soon, but no AWD. Props for the nicest engine bay I've seen in a while.

Did you take any pictures of your suspension by chance?

Same as this?

Very similar, but my rears are different... rockin' the red springs, cut down to 8.5" so as to fit on the AWD rear suspension. Took some pics (in the build thread)... when are you going to install this system in your car???

Nick, very nice! good luck with it. Plans on putting a bigger turbo?

Nice wagon nick. Love the brake and wheel setup.

Ya, you gotta ditch that turbo since I'm running one with the same exhaust turbine size for my little car

The Super-60? It's slightly bigger than a 19T... isn't that enough?

Or should I be looking at something much bigger?

[dublin14]

Next few upgrades will be a mandrel-bent upper turbo tube, the TurboTuner ECU, SAS delete, [u]rear Porsche brakes[/u]/S60R rear rotors, and possibly some kind of custom paint scheme. So stay tuned for v.2.5 sometime next spring/summer.

Working on it. I have the Koni DIY's up front which I wont be changing up anytime soon (besides maybe the front rate)

Spoke with Kalphenke about the rears, but I might have something else in the works. Should know what's up on Monday by the latest.

I'm assuming that you did a bolt to nut conversion for the lugs? Which lug nuts did you go with?

Everything looks great though! Definitely on point.

Thats great good news! I just got my Porsche BBK with S60R Slotted/X-drilled rotors on. I painted the rears and put on X drilled/slotted rotors, HPS pads ,SS hoses, but now i'll be gettin some 993TT rears Whats the weight of those rims? The BBK and those rims are so nice.

[bordvo]

Man, this is a VERY NICE V70R! I'm liking the Work wheels! Something new to the table

I have the v.1.0 design of Ben's AWD coil-overs with the welded, nickel plated steel lower rear shock mounting brackets... waiting on the v.2.0 lower shock mounts (CNC machined aluminum madness I tells ya!)

Yes, I do have the wheel studs on my hubs... went with the Rays Engineering 12x1.5 short lugs in gun-metal gray.

What setting do you have your Koni's on? Mine is set about mid-way... rears still seem a bit "soft".

With the right friends in the loop...anything is possible! I've got my 4 pot Wilwoods going to the rear now with seperate e-brake calipers and 6 pot Wilwoods going to the front...
