Black magic Mk5 GTI track car
danishmkvgti:
I'm sorry to hear of your woes. Hopefully it hasn't done other damage and you'll get it back on the street soon Fuscobal :smiley:
fuscobal:
The turbocharger is ok but there are some marks on the cylinder's walls wich imply overheating and pistons rubbing against the walls. Will take out the pistons tomorrow and see if they also need replacement (hopefully not). If I'm lucky I'll just get away with the piston rings, head gasket and other small gaskets !
Following the last unpleasant event, I decided to take the car on a ramp from now and since I'm not driving it on the streets anymore, I removed my entire audio system (including cables) and saved another 33Kg (didn't remove de front door cards wich should bring another 15-20Kg). The count is now 1503-33 = 1470Kg including me and a full tank of gas !
danishmkvgti:
You should consider a Cupra engine instead of rebuilding your AXX Fuscobal :happy2:
the bruce:
Good luck with the engine, Fuscobal! :happy2:
Still 1470 kg without audio system? I hope to stay below 1400 kg including driver and full tank.
fuscobal:
I don't know why is this car so heavy. With the door cards removed I will get to 1450kg wich is still more than what I've seen around. At this point I don't know what else to take out of the car without compromising too much ? (still want the aircon and electric windows)
PS : Why a Cupra engine Danish ?...the difference should be only in the pistons !
