Rabbitron Prime. the build

Post by t53a »

here is the new build thread on the Rabbit S, dubbed "Rabbitron Prime" as my bro (dank4est) is a huge transformers nerd. This poor little bunny was originally a gas 1.7, then the PO converted it to TD. witch shortly blew up. He sold it to us almost 2 years ago and has since sat in storage. Now that im back in Hell(ena) she is once again under the knife. she is gonna run the built JH 8v with a weber carb for a bit. eventually it will be getting MS 2.2 and ITB's.

Nice, maybe you guys can make it over for the next Missoula GTG. It's not that far.

We'll see what we can do. the ABA bunny needs axles and a tranny (have a spare FF). and i need to get the S running still, gotta get some more parts from the JY tomorrow.
if not this one then ill shoot for the next. its gonna be close. Mike's new GLi is getting digi2 soon. since it runs so damn good on the aba bunny, why not a 2.0 16v? :laughing:



brandon tell matt i got him a big window door for the golf :thumbsup: ps its red :laughing:
