Is that the air filter in the left side of a bumper? I personaly wouldn't recomend such a place for daily drive!
It does look tight, good luck in dyno!

Yip, with a few changes.

I installed some JE pistons and a bigger intercooler and upped the turbo to a GT30R hybrid, and obviously the external wastegate.

With the lower comp. pistons, I won't have to back the timing off in the top end anymore...thank f**k for that!

Sounds like a good engine there! Should be running some good power. Be hard to put it down onto the road with a FWD car mind.

It's just a stock Almera GTi bumper, with a few bits modified to accept the FMIC.

Ryan is right, Dougie is buying the car from me!

Car looks very good, looks a very tight squeeze indeed. Its obvious a lot of hard work, time and money has gone into the development, congrats.

Just as an aside, the Aerocatch's are on the wrong way round :/ the narrow end is to face into the airflow.

Will you be turning up to any track events / shows this year?

possible wind force lifting the tabs and letting the bonnet come up?
its a slight chance, but still there!

nice effort. are you building another car after you sell this one or is that you finished?
