Default Dutch rs turbo trackcar

After (almost) finishing my first rs turbo a bit of a concour car

This one


I wanted to build a track car. I have worked for 4 years on the circuit for various racingteams, but never driven around the circuit myself. But that's about to change as i'm building myself a trackcar now

The plans are the following:

Mk4 rs turbo is the base and keep licence plates
- Megasquirt first on std engine, just to learn megasquirt and keep the costs a bit lower
- GRS intercooler
- Airtech radiator
- Gaz coilovers
- Top mounts
- Adjusable track control arms
- Front cosworth calipers with ds2500
- Rear cosworth calipers with ds2500
- rollcage
- bucketseats of course
- full powerflex suspension

Also i'm sandblasting the whole suspension just because it works much nicer when everything is clean
Base car is this one


Chassis isn't the best, so good for a trackcar

So engine out and started stripping the car



After that we give the car a nice new color and to try to stop the rust


Come'on it's a ford


Inside


After the paint it was time for the first parts to go on, so started with front suspension


Coilovers for the rear


Top mounts in place


Also a photo of the trail fit of the rear brakes





Next update will take a will probably, because megasquirt order is in hands of the foreign costums and the rear suspension has to be sandblasted. As i'm doing it myself i costs lots of time
