  • It's been one year since I got the car out of the garage and into the real world. Flashback photo to that first drive...



    We've travelled about 20,000k, (12,400 miles) since, had lots of adventures and one or two misadventures along the way. Looking forward to lots more kilometers and adventures!

    Thanks again to everyone for your ongoing encouragement and help throughout the whole process.

        • Repainted the grille and front bumper! Installed a set of Hella fog lights while I was at it!

                  • Finally got around to installing my air/oil separator...

                    Hose on the left comes from the valve cover, hose on the right comes from the factory block vent, center hose vents to the intake between the VAF and the turbo. There's a hose coming off the bottom that drains to the factory inlet on the oil pan.
