My MK1 Road legal race car

Hello guys, just thought I'd share a few pics of my Golf, I posted a few a while back in the Newbies bit when I joined but the car has since been finished (well in it's current guise :wink

Here she was when I first bought her - end of 2009



Then a bit of this



and a bit of that



a dash of this





a smattering of GSXR





If you look closely at the photo below, you can see the gearbox destroying itself  :roll: Anyway bargain £30 16V AQB code 'box in now  



Anyway, it isn't fast enough, so I've just bought a TT/Octavia VRS spec 20VT which is going in over winter - along with a big intercooler/remap etc (230bhp ish) along with a bias pedal box to get shot of that crappy linkage, and a few other bits and bobs  

Cool mate. Awesome rollcage

Cheers dude, all the cage work (and the bulk of the build) was done by Rob Judge at RNJ Motorsport, it feels like a touring car inside!

Not at the moment, but I can take some more  

I've got a video though  :mrgreen:

VWDRC Sportsman - Paul Jackson National finals -1 - YouTube

my god that sounds nice mate looks quick too  :twisted:

Not quick enough, I never had it set up on the dyno, running low 16's on street tyres. Although it is a complete track weapon, T1R's, coilovers, rear camber mods, proper stiff shell, it's like driving a stupidly quick go-kart!

I'm gonna miss the induction noise when the 20VT goes in, but 230 odd horses should make up for it   

should be a good bit of fun when its done then,and also wipe the smiles of a few faces at the lights  

Slight update - no photos yet though.

I've got a VRS AUQ motor, and an O2J box. I'm picking up some mounts from James Hodson (Sub11 Motorsport) this weekend, and I've bought a G60 flywheel, the various bits of loom/ECU, a Tilton bias pedal box (gonna get shot of that linkage whilst the engine is out) a VRS cable shifter, poly mounts, various bolts, a VR6 clutch, and a DBW pedal.

The rough plan is head up to my mate Rob Judges (RNJ Motorsport) where the engine and box currently living - Robs very kindly letting me use his workshop to fit the engine/box (which will include ditching the DMF and a full service on the motor) then Rob's fabbing me up a side exit exhaust and some intercooler mounts, then it's off to Sub11 for the wiring (I hate wiring!!)hoses, dump valve, a remap/rolling road sesh.

Fingers x'd for about 230ish BHP   Which should be rapid in a very stripped out MK1!

Any more info on rear camber. How much were you running
