Hi Mate

Hi Mate

I am not modding the engine at all too exspensive to tune for the sake of 40 bhp not worth it IMHO , I would rather have good brakes and suspension /handling rather than engine power

Just because some peeps have a fast engine donesn't mean to say the car is quick around a a track but in a straight line then yes engine power is whats needed track isn't about how fast your engine is to an extent

Marco

 

 

Hi Marco,new track car looks cool .I agree 110% about youre approach to a good track car,good brakes and handling.Youre comment about people with fast engines dont necessarily go around a track quick is very true.At Nat Day last year I passed a load of Cossie's,and I know for a fact the least powerfull one's had 120 BHP more than my "beantin"!!! Think you'll do the same mate .Regards Micky

 

love it!

 

Looking good Marco, but the mighty Golf is still gonna have ya

 

Gav

golf hey, erm i suppose it will be intresting to say the least

marco

 

Fair play mate!!!!!

Getting there now,lets hope it runs enough as much as the WRC TDI did!!!!

Pete...

 

very good project!!
why no engine mods?? program for the future??

 

ital cosie

why, well because of the cost , i can't justify spending Ł1500 on the engine to get 40/50 bhp seriously not worth it , i have been told that the engine is pretty strong as standard and hopefully i wont blow it up

Marco

 

Looking good.....

 

them rims will look hard as nails on it. (maybe in black?)

 

Hi Micky

hows it going , what did you think of the slicks ??

genaral conversation !!! it's not all about power it's a whole package brakes/suspension/tyres

i look at it this way why buy normal coilovers for 500+ that wont last 6 months on a circuit before they leak/bend or fail and with the Bilsteins (racing ones) all they have cost me for the front and rear Ł650 for quality and they will last a hell of a long time and the re-sale valve is still pretty high you will always get your money back

Dencent Brakes/Discs/Pads/brake fuild is a must on a car and more than anything else "shite" brakes/pads/discs /Brake fluid = 3 laps it's all over forget about it the brakes will be dead

slick tyres is everything aswell forget the road tyres all they are good for is the road and thats it

if you have these ingredients you won't be doing to bad on a circuit at all


I have a budget of 2.5k thats all i have got to spend on it so chassis was more important than an engine


Marco

 

Car looks very minty mint ,do like these humped bonnet ones

 

hi twin

we got it cheap not really botherd about the shape even if it was xri stil would have done the same to that

 

Thats it for me aswell, really not about the horse power, I cant afford to buy, run and maintain a big BHP motor, chassis is the wasy to go

Marco those Bilstiens look the nuts, same spec as Im looking for on a 2wd sapphire, rose joints and track specific, struggling for a decent price from an off the shelf set are these readily available or are you "in the know"

 

MrC

Speak to Steve scott @A1 rally sport he has some on the shelf ready to go

if your saff is going to be on the road then you will need gravels

Marco

 

wow i love them

 

Hi lads

cheers for all comments

the front arms are on the car now , a coulpe of pics










we have also modded the rear beam











a pic of the 6 point seatbelts




getting there slowy
