Nice!!!!

Looks like we have very similar engine mods, so now I know what kind of figures to be expecting when I dyno in a few weeks! :D

I would suggest you put a damper crank pulley on the engine and not the one listed here.

On another note! Looks like it will be a blast seeing all these MKIII's in Vegas. I look forward in going to this event!

How is the meth injection install coming? Where did you buy your kit and how much did it cost? Thanks, good luck with the meet.
Don't forget to take your camera and post lots and lots of pictures for us east coast guys that can't make it.

3 more coats of Mercedes black (no pearl, no metallic, just black) and 3 coats of clear = no more satin black. Sorry for the poor cell phone pics.

Hatch is not painted yet because holes need to be filled in.

CF Hood was not painted because it will be "ghosted" instead. Ghosted? Stay tuned.

Dropped by Seven Apple to see the progress and took some pics. Seeing the painted parts makes me not wanna install them on the car...just hang them on the wall. None of the parts have been polished yet.
