it will change the geometry ov the car (handle alot better)
an alot less weight!
less weight - less power needed- less strain on engine,box etc etc..

woah woah wooaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh fella


im not having a dig or making insults fair play to you for building it !!


none of us can lay claim to doing anything new so to speak is all been done by someone else before ( although gartrac didnt fit this wrc setup rear ends mate , they used live axels as in the mk1/2 escs ),


dont worry bout spesh mate , hes just having a bit of fun , if us pushing things forward a little made you take the plunge and fit the wrc rear then cushty , ive no issuses with it im all for being different!!!


and i do my best to help everyone mate , you of all folk should know that when i stopped and chatted with you at pod



keep doing what your doing bud , plenty in this world for everyone lol


and as always , if theres out i can do to help im only a pm away


dont get reeled into taking a bit of online banter the wrong way






you mardy cunt



hugs n kisses


beef



p.s ive go soo many touches for the car in the pipeline it deffo wont be the same as anyones lol !!

yeah , prob we had is that they never been fitted to a mk three lol ,

so it was a case of trying to balance the setup for a road based car ,

if its going to be a track car i reckon u goind go with standing them vertically in the car with a few degrees of camber in them


mark will steer you right with measurements ,


ideally mate , save yourself the hassel , get all the setup together , cradle, hubs , shocks and wheels ect ,

build it all up and then deternin the height of the turrets ect ,

if you going with a cage ect id tie into them for sure
