There's a guy relatively local to me who specialises in GTBB conversions for the 1.8T- runs a 500bhp Ibiza Cupra race car. I can point you in his direction, he's well regarded...

Those RH wheels are lovely. A mate of mine has a slighytly decayed set of ZW1's in his garage- BMW fitment. Probably worth a bob or two.

RH built wheels for Porsche for a while. 964 Turbos ran ZW1 splits as standard. That's where they built their name AFAIK.

Following on from last night, took the Jetex to college and fitted it, like some of you know, it would be nice to have the filter sitting nice and supported so decided to make a bracket, the picture doesnt show the filter bolted to it as need to get another hose clip where the screw comes out to go through the hole of the bracket, then it will be secure.



As mentioned waiting on my Jabbasport heatshield, every thing will be took back out the bay, the eare will be cleaned, bracket i made will be painted and most likely paint the alloy coupler black too, heres a pic of the Awsome gti forge 007p fitted too.
