Bout bloody time I stuck this thread on here to help motivate me! My (very) old stomping ground forum for Polos the PSD forums were on their way out so I saved this text and I have previously spent a fair amount of time giving updates... this post was made on the 5th april 2004 so before I bacame all grown up and grumpy ;)... enjoy more to come.... funny reading it back as the understanding girl friend is now my wife and I dont have ANY of the cars I had then no (bar the T40 itself)
right folks.... I'm going for the longest post ever record...
I started this turbo project bloody ages ago and at one point about 2 years ago had a bloody fast car that looked like a pile of crap and then a said to myself all I need is a respray and Im sorted... HA!!!
Well the thing has grown arms and legs and those of you who know me know I don't do thing by halves! I thought I'd give you all a wee update as I've been lurking in the shadows for some time buying houses and motorbikes and getting engaged and such like and the scene has changed lots since.
OK so basically I'm now in a position to get the car resprayed: interior and engine bay. the body work still ist finished but i'll explain......
For the benefit of those who have no idea what I'm doing i'll give a brief outline....
Once upon a time I bought a mk2 coupe S for 150 quid. A couple of years later I bought a GT engine and converted everything so I had a 85bhp little goer that looked something like this:
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/T40story1.jpg)
cool as, lots of fond memories...... one day I decided to go mad and as a game of keeping up with good buddy Paul B decided I wanted a G40 for the mk2....
But the body work was a little tatty and I wanted to update the rear so I went a bit nuts....
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/T40story2.jpg)
had to make some serious mods to the front to get it to work the way I wanted it too.... maximum gravity drain for the turbo.... fantastic! nicely flowing manifold too did a lot of research on that one....
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/T40story3.jpg)
I travelled to manchester to pick one up to find it had no charger! so I went and build my own turbo kit... as you do... not quite that simple but hey..
Sooner or later I had make some body work that you can see.. ( also note wheel and "little" brake upgrade.....
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/T40story4.jpg)
a year later I had something that went.... very well actually! ;)
for those of you who have not seen this ... I am actually a bit embarassed about this now but hey, it was cool at the time!
http://www.markhunter.pwp.blueyonder.co ... warsHiQ.rm
Anyway after that very famous piston melting episode (before the vid) and the vid itself it started to show signs of the problems that come with big power..... namely chassis and transmission problems. so that was my next priority.... given that the engine is still mainly standard (!!!!!)aside (from the obvious) there was no point doing mods until I could solve these problems, (which they now are, as you will see....)
So first was transmission, one of the prototype PSD driveshafts, paddle clutch and LSD should do nicely. The std clutch was totally knackered!!! I also had a play with the gear ratios too. I scoured the country for ages to find the right bits to get the ratios I wanted. Cos of the 17's the ratios were massive. So after lots of research and stuff I've built a box that effectively has short ratios 1-4 and a long fifth for cruising. Check out the spread sheet:
http://www.markhunter.pwp.blueyonder.co ... ratios.xls
anyway here is the lsd (phase 2 I believe)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/T40story5.jpg)
Just cos I am me I ghad the casing powedercoated to make it obvious a lot of time had been spent on this box!!! I tell you, if this bugger gets taken out by an exploding diff I will be VERY upset!!
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/T40story6.jpg)
anyway on with the tricky part... how do I stop the 20 year old chassis pulling itself apart??? Compulsory Safety devices roll cage of course and .... well see for yourself....
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/T40story7.JPG)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/T40story10.JPG)
I like this shot..... Note the plug in the background for the one piece bonnet and wing Carbon fibre panel. To the left on the barrel....
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/T40story8.JPG)
You can tell this bugger means business, the intercooler is the only real engine mod at this point since it was last on the road.
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/T40story9.JPG)
You can tell it fits and I'm going along the same lines as before for styling.....
Anyway thats it really. The car is going in for a respray in the next fortnight and when I get it back its time to put that damn thing back together. Its just sorting out tghe fibre panels after that. Really looking forward to putting my energies back into the engine without worrying about it tearing itself apart!
So there, for those of you who think I've given up or done nothing you can now stand corrected..... Ive only been doing nothing for most of the time not all of the time ;o)
Oh, and I must add that none of this would be possible without the support of my very understanding fiance!! ;) in pic below (left) along with the family of polos, Turbo, White GT, red G40 and the black scrapper.....phew
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/T40story11.jpg)
Ok I'm finished for now... I promise!!

A post made 12th August 2004.....This stuff is the kind of stuff that make me tick
Good morning Ladies and gentlemen time for your next installment of "lets screw up a perfectly good car".... I am of course talking about my very long term project, whats playfully called the T40, despite having nothing 40 about it.... but hey.
For those of you who dont know me, Im not strange, just thorough! and Im not a crap speller just a crap typer....
For those of you new to the story here was the last state of play:
http://www.pitstopdevelopments.com/foru ... t40+update
OK.....as you can see from the title I am trying to get loose some of the weight I have put on the little mk2 polo to make it go well, so off I went to the workshop with my Brainiac style helpers and equipment (i.e. a set of scales!!).
As the poor beastie is very much in bits( the biggest bit is in the body shop still getting engine bay and interior done....) we constructed a list of sizeable bits of car and proceeded to weigh them.... as they weren’t exactly great scales I weighed myself and then myself holding said bit and worked out the difference..... now this is where it gets interesting, As some of you know I have a fascination with glass fibre and carbon fibre and I used to make carbon fibre fairings for GP bikes etc etc so Ive got everything I need to do the deed.
I have stripped down doors and tailgates etc down top the frame and weighed the difference, ie just the frame...... even the outer skins have been stripped off (to be replaced with c fibre).....
So on with the weighing.....
First up was the most sizable part of the car which a lot of weight could be stripped off.... the driver.....!! ;) weighing in at 96kg (with boots!) not exactly a light weight component! I think a good 12kg could be shed from this bit! Particularly as this driver was being driven away from former competitors at the karting a few weeks back!!! I'd put on a stone and a half since the last time I went karting!! Doh... I blame my pen pushing job which changed back in november....
On with the weighting.... bad news first so I wanted to figure out how much weight I'd piled on....
with wheels brakes and coilover upgrades and the extra plating and front sub frame I
added on about 20kg but theres is not much I can do about that for a guess its not too bad I dont think... you might think it will be more but the T has a trump card I will mention later....
The roll cage ... ouch this is a biggy...
Rear section alone:
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/cage.jpg)
a fairly hefty 24kg... equates to a bag of cement or so.
with front section another 16kg.... oh well, given the doors and stuff will have far less in them there is no way I'll live without the cage, but its 40 kg I can take out if I feel the need.
Engine bits....
Turbo, intercooler oil cooler big s/steel exhuast... all bits never really accounted for by the 830kg std weight of a mk3 polo..... so I weighed some of these bits and they came to 21kg!
Gearbox driveshaft and clutch upgrades I am going to assume weight the same as std. I not going down to the level of accounting for the lightened flywheel or anything that detailed.....
So all up Ive piled on 81 kg over standard!! Ouch!
ok now for the interesting bit..... how much will I theoretically save.. :D
ok I was pretty impressed with this.....
Standard door with window, but NO interior panel, handles or wing mirror..16kg so in reality prolly nearer 18kg...! My stripped down door...... :) .
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/door.jpg)
(http://www.markhunter.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/door.jpg)
:D hee hee
a measly 6kg..... yes SIX KILOGRAMS!! :o how cool! thats a saving of 12kg!!! PER DOOR!
now yes I obviously cant use the door like that so I have allowed 3kg per door for the Carbon fibre skin and lexan window which is fairly generous...... just so you know when I removed the door skin this was 3.5kg on its own!
SO.... thats totals a saving of 9kg per door= 18kg.... cool...
Tailgate:
Standard tailgate with window motor etc etc....is any guesses..... 18kg!!
stripped down tailgate:
:D
6kg!! yet another saving or 12 kg... but allow 4kg for number plate lights window and skin bringing it to a saving or 8kg..
Now the one piece bonnet and wing plug I have is made out of a std mk2 bonnet some extra metal and filler and the std mk2 wings.... this came to 23 kg!! now the actually product I cant imagine will weigh more than 5kg!! Now I bet your thinking "five kilos that bollocks!" but this wont be like the carbon fibre bonnet you buy as they need rigidity for everyday use. :roll: ... this needs no extra strength because of the ridiculous sub frame... bonus.. the frame is starting to pay for itself...! also because the of the multiple securing points and shape of it (ie its not flat, its a U shape, cos of the wings)it should be good enough to deflect wind and of course pedestrians....;)
so another theoretical saving of 18kg!!
ok Im at 44kg saving now.... OK heres is the big saving... interior! From a previous weighing experiment I sussed out of the G I saved 91kg by stripping the interior and part of the stereo out.... 45kg of that was stereo and the remaining seat in the car was 12 kg... so 91 less 45 plus 12 is 58kg!! So a saving of 58 kg by taking the interior out NOT including door card etc for 2 reasons A I never took them out the G on the previous experiment and B ive accounted for that saving in the doors.....
No the bucket seats I have weigh 5 kg each bonus a saving of 48kg!!!
cool so thats a total saving of 92kg so Im back to a std polo weight.... theoretically of course.. But we wont stop there will we?? :)
NEXT!
Bin spare wheel 14kg!
smaller fuel tank 5kg(ish)
new heater fan binning shround saving 2kg
saving of rear door cards and rear windows to lexan errm... 3kg?? easy that...
Dash actually weighed 3kg(mk2) but I'm not having one... -3kg
Standard bumpers(both) are 9kg....I reckon I'll save 4kg
and changing the heater system may save upto 10kg......
I'll stop there but I "could go further by lopping out the spare wheel well..
And even although I wont, i "could"
lighter wheels (17s at the mo), lighter front disks ( they weigh a ton!)
lighter headlights (id use streetfighter motorbike ones to stay legal and they be a hell of a lot lighter than the mk4 golf items)
Lighter exhaust (back box is big! and stainless steel isnt light!)
anyway just being silly now..
SOOOO to summarize the balance comes to -53kg!!! so even though I ve put on 81 kg I've saved a whopping 134kg by being ...well.... a bit strange...!!
Sooo. in theory you may be able to have a std polo weighing a smidgen under 700kg! Lighter than an Elise!
So the T40s target weight is...........777kg!!!
Following on from that I hope to give this thing about 300bhp per tonne meaning Id need to produce 230 bhp... which is well within the engines capability in my opinion... Cant weight(boom boom) to start developing that!
Now here comes this little trump card I mentioned......The T40 is actually a mk2 polo... not a mk3 now... A std mk3 is 830, which is what Ive based the car on BUT std mk2 is actually 700kg!!! Can you believe it!? now thats the 1l model... according to haynes the1.1 is 710 and the 1.3 720kg... so if it was a "real" mk2 it could be another 110kg lighter making it 667kg!! lol.... now lets not get silly..... cos all the bits that make a mk3 a mk3 have been put on the turbo.... so things like steering dampners brake pressure regulators...etc etc have been put on,
I mean it even has mk3 rear lights and tailgate!!!
So it was a good idea to use a mk3 std weight...but in saying that, this car still uses the old style mk2 pedal box, still no servo.. (doesnt need one!) and what I like about it most its German and not spanish! So really all this calculating has been for nothing because of this big variable!!!
But it does make you wonder......;)

OK this post was made Aug 20th 2005!
Right folks,
I guess its time for an update again. The last update was over a year ago and as you can imagine Ive managed to do quite a bit. The engine is running and it drives!
The major part of the bodywork is done. So as usual, when all of you think I'm doing nowt I am in fact busily working away at my own pace.....
OK were did I leave it last.... yes... the weight saving programme
http://www.pitstopdevelopments.com/foru ... t40+weight
and before that the project outline:
http://www.pitstopdevelopments.com/foru ... t40+update
cool, Ok, well..... not much has changed in the overall plan, the only design change is the orientation of the turbo and the intercooler entry cap, which removes some bends (making it about 1% more effiecient ;) ). Oil cooler is on and as you can see Ive pretty much maximized the frontal area for air flow. Bumper area : Left is the air filter, middle intercooler and right is the oil cooler.
Up above I have some airflow for the turbo itself and then the radiator. Good stuff… the panels and bumper will be designed with ducting to maximize airflow through the appropriate bits.
The metal part of the bumper (adapted from a mk2 polo inner bumper) now bolts into where you can see the end of the chassis legs and to that is where the IC spray can go, be interesting to see if that makes any difference. All in All: Purposeful! ;)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t2.jpg)
You might think the intercooler looks squint, its not the radiator is at a slight angle left side more forwards..... and the ground isnt even either...
Well, since the last update the car interior has been sprayed satin black, which against the powdered blue safety devices cage looks rock! It all ties in nicely with the front space frame to make a solid little car.
The engine bay has also been sprayed in the body colour (orginal body colour!) of comet blue.
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t3.jpg)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t4.jpg)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t5.jpg)
(note lack of wheel well!)
Engine has been(obviously) refitted with the oil cooler and intercooler, battery has been relocated to behind the passenger seat to get the weight lower and between the axles. Same will be done for the tanks for the Aquamist, Screen wash and IC spray tanks. Yes.... the engine runs! (woo hoo!)
Gearbox: Well I redesigned it again! I popped in a brand new gripper LSD from Ti and lowered all the ratios to roughly the same as a GT. This will counter act the 17inch wheels and give overall better gearing. Before the theoretical geared top speed was something daft like 207mph! Anyway..... new box, sweet ratios, bullet proof diff...and it doesnt leak! The Gbox is still the weak link in the whole affair though... I'll be taking bets on how long it will last....!!!
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t6.jpg)
Body Panels.... ok this is where all the recent work has been put in. Basically, they are/will be carbon fibre.... Here's the story.
17's on the polo look a little out of place, so I designed a body kit to make them look at home. I used the R32 and the butch audis as a guideline as I want it to look butch but standardish, ie not loads of vents and wings etc. So I needed to make a plug.... of the whole car!!! CRASH COURSE IN MAKING BITS: Make what you want out of anything you can get your hands on, as long as you can get a high gloss finish it should be ok, so metal, weld , wood catty fiberglass anything….. then you have your plug, Use the plug to make a mould and the mould to make your product and hey r presto you have a product that’s a replica of your plug but made with finky materials…… anyway…..
I used a scrap 1.0 fox and made my kit out of metal, weld, fibre glass, wood and any other material to hand..... eventually looked a bit like this....
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t7.jpg)
Little arch tweaking…..
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t8.jpg)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t9.jpg)
As you can see the bottom of the car has been beefed out quite a bit… meaning the doors will be done too…… now if you look at the side profile of a std mk2/3 polo it curves underneath the car and goes in at the bottom……
add a bit of door panel to keep the coachline going:
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t10.jpg)
Clothed as the T you can see the side is now much flatter and stays out at the bottom, making it look a little better and making the 17s at home (although in this pic there is a 13 at the back!)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t11.jpg)
thats the shape I want..ish, now I needed to make it look nicer: oh well here comes the dust and the catty………
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t12.jpg)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t13.jpg)
I also needed to break the panels up and make them manageable… and well there wasn’t much left of the poor fox…. It developed a bit of a ground clearance problem… but not the type you usally have on a car…. :D
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t14.jpg)
I enlisted the help of a catty GOD mate who after many (expensive) hours made the panels (the plugs) look fantastic, money well spent...
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t15.jpg)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t16.jpg)
that deserves a free plug for my mate at PFP!
http://www.pfpcoachworks.co.uk
I was very pleased with the whole shape of it all in all, I think I would like to do more to the design of the bonnet section but to be honest Im sick to death of body work…. The quarter panels though I am delighted with…… I mean you’ll never know how it will turn out till its finished and painted but its looking good…. Will make the 17’s look right at home…..
OK so I had the plugs, now I needed to make the moulds which are used to make the final product.
To avoid a lengthy explanation on how to do this I'll be brief..... I polished them all up, applied some PVA release agent, plastacine to allow for split moulds, Gel coat, fibre tissue in the appropriate places and the triple ply glass fibre all hand impregnated with the polyester resin.... those last three lines took about three weeks just for the 1/4 panels... lol....
anyway, Thats how the Moulds are made, making the product is far easier.. same process just single or double ply using different gel coats, resins and of course Carbon fibre weave.
So here are the 1/4 panels being worked on.
You can see the plasticine oin the right one and the gell coat applied. I have already started laying up glass fibre matt on the left one…..
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t18.jpg)
As you can see I have made a split mould which means its far easier to break the product from the mould because the mould unbolts and comes apart! You can see I have used plasticine to create the borders of the split. Once the top section of the mould is dry you flip it over and peel off the plasticine and lay up the rest of the mould…… dry it, drill holes and then split the whole lot up….. again about a week to do the last three lines!
Here is the finished Mould…… (a mirror of the plug…..)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t19.jpg)
The product is made and the original metal panels cut off (braced) and the new panel bonded on. As you will see from the Weight saving post I already have my frames for the doors and tailgate which the Carbon panels will be bonded to.
I started with the 1/4 panels as they are by far the most complex, the rest should be easy by comparison except the bumpers.... . I haven't even started on those. Once they are all made and bonded its off to the body shop for painting. Yes, some of your will cry “ it’s a crime to paint carbon!!†well let me say this and I hope you agree…. Yes its normally a crime to paint carbon. But, anything but an nice paint job will look e silly on a polo….. people have suggested I apply thing paint so you can see the weave or just simply not paint it….
Well ok sound like a good idea I mean the ferarri F40 has that…… But if you see a ferrari F40 in the street and you notice the paint finish is a little odd you then click…. Ahhh! Carbin body work…nice! But if you see a polo in the street with an odd paint finish you think……. “Doh, that gotta be the crappest paint job I’ve seen in ages! Hop he got that on the cheap!â€
Well that my theory. Also the car is blue, I hate the black bonnet on a blue/white/green whatever colour car… ( no offence to anyone intended!)….. I think its best the car stays blue…
Just working on a plug for a dashboard too ( well a panel to but gauges in!)... need to figure out where Im gonna put all the guages and gadget displays etc etc....Heres the selected steering wheel:
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t20.jpg)
Note the filler neck.......Petrol cap will be flushed with the rear window…..
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t21.jpg)
Progress is slow but steady, hoping to have the body done in october time. Then I can concentrate back on the engine. As some of you already know, the engine is still standard (block head etc) and I have another engine that I have been building for a while. The “make it go†engine produced 185bhp before the intercooler and aquamist etc etc so that will still go well…. Give you an indication of the potential of the turbo set up…..The manifold is the key…..
Take the body as an example, I have gone to similar efforts on the engine. I have had the parts for up to 2 years now including quad throttle bodies. I just need the time!!!....the creme de la creme though was this.......I bought a DTA P8Pro November last year..... which for those of you who dont know what it is, it means..... all singing all dancing ECU including: Launch Control, Traction control and even Anti-Lag!! Gonna be fun putting that together..... I'm deffo an engine man..... bodywork sucks.....Pity thats all I'll be doing for a few months at least..... ho hum….
Also before anyone asks….I do not want to think about the man hours I’ve sunk into this…..not right now,,, maybe when its done!
Cheers for the encouragement( I think….. might not have grown arms and legs without iy ;) lol )
Cheers.
Mark.

Oh....:)
Update!!!....... YUM...:D
White stuff is thin layer of bodyfiller to get best shape....carbon isnt very pliable for the sharp corners..!! I made these for shape not for finish as they are getting painted.... But Im very chuffed!

December 2006..... not too far off wher it is now but now I hav done the door panels... just the sills to do and paint...
Right Guys...
As most of you know the T40 is kind of an urban legend as it once terrorised the streets and then dissapeared for a bit for a metamorphosis..... Well until recently I had done pretty much sod all with it as I had bought an S4 and was playing with that for the last year.....The black saloon one at that point!!! . which presents me with a problem.... more on that later.
I sold that with 360bhp, and that was fun, to Terry My bruv in law (who some of you will know...) well..... but no sooner had I sold the S4 Ive arranged for another little "project" The Derby!!!that Im going halfers with a mate Mikey!up here on. Ive also bought with him a handy Car transporter that needs a bit of work too.... so before all that kicked off I thought.... right Im gonna do as much as I can to get the T40 moved on a bit.....
Well Ive done soo much to it in the last month its not that far from being finished!!!! Holy crap it starting to look like a car again....
well now most of the carbon panels are done.... just waiting on the door skin plugs to be painted to mount the doors and then need to do sill and maybe the bumpers depending on a few things.....
then it can be painted and ready to go. The only thing needed for the engine is the TB elbow. It all works, starts, drives, stops, steers, guages all work, electrics and alarm all works, just ordered some bucket seats for it got everything I need to get it done except the painting mans time!!!! Still loads to do but at this rate it wont take very long at all!
Well here it is as it is now: (drum roll.....)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t401.jpg)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t402.jpg)
(http://homepage.mac.com/kippertie/Mark/t403.jpg)
you can see Im gonna design the rear bump to come up to the bottom of the rear lights like a mk4 golf.
Over all Im pretty pleased with the way its turning out.... the only Polo on the planet that has 17s on and they dont fill the arches!!!! I have some 20mm spacers on order for the back to make them look at home (plenty room for 255s if needed...lol).... Oh.... and it weighs nowt!
Anyway, the engine as it is is pretty mental. it had 185bhp before now its got a proper intercooler and Aquamist..... so 195 maybe 200... not bad for a stock head an stock bottom end!!!

Wow, Its been a while since I looked at this. Look at the dates! Had a couple of mates come round last week and we spend the evening dusting off the cobwebs and doing a bit here and there, changed a door pin discussed some ideas for taking this forward. We even discussed just buying a mk3 polo and fitting all the bits to that, but it would be a shame to waste the effort on this etc.... however there was a consensus that bring the front end back in line with mk2 polo looks would be a good thing to do.
We managed to get it running too, it starts revs boosts, drives steers and stops..... really all just body work!
So from now on we all made alittle pact to spend one evening a month on it just to bring it forward. The car is almost 30 years old now!
-
RESPECT!
Is all i can say. ;)
-
Would be a shame not to finish it after all that effort... :(
-
Mark you slack bugger!
Chop chop- more G40s required on track in 2012 ;)
-
would be great to see this on the road or track Mark. It's been too long. I still have that polo wars video somewhere!
-
good to see u back poloing mark, :) your old GT was up for sale again not that long ago.
-
wow was hoping to see if it finished one day
-
yea got some more up to date pics but I'll wait till it look a bit better. It mainly covered in a lot of dust at the moment!
-
Mark have you got round to doing anymore with this :O
totally just browsing old topics..!!
would be good if you done more updates... makes an interesting read!!
and also if you finished this then i could come along in my G40 to SVAG meet and see this!
-
Proper job ;)
-
Feck this is rediculous! Awesome skills mate!
-
Did this ever get finished? An epic amount of work has gone in to this top marks
Steve
-
Marks not got round to finishing this off.
But a know he does make slow progress on it occasionally.
He's more on scottish vag site, he owns an impressive 500+ bhp Audi so theres not much want for a 220 polo at the moment
-
Cheers, great projcet´s that you have here!!
Jezza , Djtez , how are your project´s ??
Many thanks from Portugal , Madmikeg40......
Ps: news are comming!!
-
Crikey, well I know I need to get some more descriptions and photos but as a quick update....
It now has a verneir and the 268/269 newman cam, a Stage 3 PPP subframe, Red injectors and PPP Map, aquamist, just need to weld in mounting points forthe 6 point harnesses, bolt the seats in and I can get it back on the floor. Ive also decided it needs to look like a mk2 polo at the front, just need a mk2 bumper and I have most of the parts already. Then need some poly windows, make the sills and bumpers and diffuser then off to the paint shop to go matt black with some exposed carbon, may some subtle graphics and then go audi hunting :o)
BTW, with 220bhp the power to weight will be the same if not better than my S4 was (which is now sold :().....going for most powerful 127s without BVH for the moment ;)
Just need time which I dont really have loads of.
-
out of intrest which blower did you go for ? with that cam and turbo choice where do you get youre turbo to spool from ??EPIC car by the way huge amount of work has gone into it mucho respect !
