I'm really glad you guys went back and properly sorted this car out! The original Activision vid felt rushed and tacky with all the "gadgets", but now the car looks mad!

[@felix-bk7ne]

The Activision ad 100% would have paid for the car to be finished. So a no-brainer really.

[@TurnStyleGames]

Yeah it was a let down on the first build - though we all realized what it was and why. Happy to see it get some proper attention. I hope they do a proper 16V Mk2 GTI some time.

you should open up a hidden air flow canal from the inside of the wheel arch, directly to the air intake. That way you don't destroy the appearance and get some proper air flow

I've been following the work you guys do, truly some inspirational stuff. You might get a kick out of watching South Africans spin the E30, a unique style of drifting. I'm very happy with the E30 mods, it's almost a perfect car. It would be nice if the new technology fitted in the interior such as the computer, was made to look more integrated with the design. A good example of the was when you guys fitted an iPad as on an old car as dash entertainment screen.

[@nicolashoyt5341]

May want to check your math on the not any heavier part. Having weighed my BMW Iron Block M52B28 with a cast turbo manifold and the turbo and all the accessories coming in at 418 lbs, that's less than an LS without accessories and I had a good 50-70 lbs of extras on it.
