well the snaking all over the road shit me up

u obviously dint go for a ride in daves 500bhp 2.0lt turbo nova from woodlands then lol torque steer was unbeevable in that but in the end the engine did beet the car it raced and its own shell wen the engine fucked off without it lol.

what engine hav u used mate g40 bottom end with gt cam need head or sumat need what inlet manifold?

a polo's alot scarier...lol

any pics of the coilover setup on this?? How low will it go?

massive inspiration for my own project...

Few pictures of it at Polo Show with the new wheels on:

Some new parts on the way- should be ready for G40 rolling road day in a few weekends time (hoping to beat previous best of 214bhp & 208lbft), then last outing of the year will probably be Oulton Park on Nov 28th.

Winter will bring some minor changes, mostly in the chassis/suspension area, rear diffuser, rollcage, solid adjustable top mounts and drop-linked rear ARB are all on the cards, just as/when I have time.

Enjoy!

After making 203bhp & 187lbft at the G40 rolling road off nitrous I made 223bhp and 210lbft on gas :-)

As always, there's a little more to be had, very little has changed since the 214bhp run, just revisions of bits and attention to detail- netting another 10bhp

So- after that it was time for some more Subframe testing :-D Que Oulton Park:

Easily outhandled a 182:

And a TVR & Rover Turbo:

Working on stiffening the rear up at the moment and a few more modifications. Once I've replaced the turbo!

Quick video from Oulton- Turbo failure due to lack of dumpvalve (I'd changed the piping before hand to solve a boost leak) Saab 9000 was 380bhp and the RS500 (which was a rep) I'd guess at being the same, still- started to catch up once the tyres where warmer, then the turbo died

Those compomotives are 14'' or 15''?

awesome bit of kit. are u going to the rr day this month? would love to see this.

When are we going to see this at a cheshire dubs meet?

also any info on your throttle body setup you had on the GT engine would be great as I've got a Megasquirt ECU now so I'm looking to get that on my GT soon.

Thanks to the ongoing support from Andy in preparing the car and spending endless nights on the phone/e-mail discussing bits. Now very happy with how it's performing :)

Thanks also to Hayesey & Rocket and otehr helpers at the weekend, makes racing alot less stressfull!

Only just seen this thread & it's cracking to see the development & changes of the car
