How to Post Images

Want to post a cool photo of your pride and joy? Here is how.

The forum has an attachment feature where you can upload the images you want to share, but there is a limit (as I pay for the hosting and there is only so much space).

Trumpets!

Looking at solutions for having fuck all room in the engine page in the Jetta (for several reasons, but mainly that it is a Jetta and not a mk1 Golf).

I have 60mm trumpets at the moment, mainly due to it coming with the carbs when I bought them.

Re: Building Split Rims

Update on the OZ Turbo's.

Re: Twin Weber 16v Air Filters

I think I need that water outlet over anything else first. The water pipe to the rad is literally touching the trumpets and is way too close to the body of the carb to fit any filter on at the moment.
