02.5mp5 build thread.

i got special taste, i had them on mine for a month or so. it just gives it a cleaner look with out them in my opinion.
 
I think the eyelids convinced me to put a set on mine.
I've driven a standard for the last 3 years, I don't even nowtice it anymore.
Btw, completely jealous of the brand new turbo kit, or parts.. Looking forward to this.
Do you live in an area where a smog check is required?

i still havent seen your car in person since i missed you at one meet last year
 
i will try... so i think i found out the problem for the pinging. the location of the MAF. its too far away from the throttle body. im getting NOOO fuel when im in boost. im talkking 17's on the a/f gauge. so im going to relocate the MAF instead of where its at. and i also ordered a megan racing Air fuel regulator, that should be in this week hopefully.
 
finally got a chance to wash her.. relocated the MAF and no more pinging :) but still running lean :(....Fuel pressure regulator should be here soon and that will fix that problem. heres some pics..
