Lovely project :love:
Only two pedals Steve?
What do you reckon the weight will be overall? 1100kg inc fluids?
^^^ We beleive a only a few mm per side (<5mm) but will measure the difference when fitting in the next few days :happy2:
ill you be using the EA888 lump or stick to the well proven EA113? :smiley:

Noooooooooooo!!! Thats ruined it IMO :ashamed:
Rear brakes on a FWD car are just unnecessary weight... Could you not locate some Up! ones :grin:

Its not built for looks.... :happy2:
It is a time attack car, wait until you see some of the others. There is a S1 Exige that entered last year and did well. This year they have gone bonkers with a 600BHP engine and a full aero package tested in a wind tunnel. It has a rear spoiler coming out of the front. :chicken: Looks ridiculous but when the rule book doesn't exist, to stand a chance of competing you have to go bonkers. :happy2: :driver:

be good if you can make it Mike
What date's Croft Andy? I'll be up for it if Im not working
We will find out on Tuesday at Silverstone :driver: :driver:
Of course, just due to the weather we have been able to get as much track time as we would have liked to shake down the car. I have collected the car tonight and will be bringing it back to Milltek HQ tomorrow morning ready for the livery to be applied and final fit of few finishing touches :happy2:
Also a massive thanks to Vagbremtechnic (aka DaveB) for sourcing and hand delivering some of the finest brakes I have ever seen :notworthy: :notworthy:

What happened to the .:R front grille Steve? :confused:
I'll buy it if it's going spare now? :wink:
Steve, don't know if I've missed it in the past (hope you don't mind me asking?) but what do you actually do for Miltek?
Unfortunately lost drive :sad1:

Is driveshaft failure a known issue in the Mk5/6 race cars or was it just a one off? Any uprated alternatives or is it a case of buy loads of stock ones and replace them as required?
245/40/18 Dunlop DG03Z Direzza (Dry)
The car has gone through some major changes in the past 6-8 weeks due to a massive failure of the original Stage 3+ motor.
So the spec as it stands today: -
Shell / Interior
4-Point Airjack System
Suspension & Brakes
VAG OEM Alloy hubs and wishbones (From TTRS on the front and Scirocco R on the Rear)
Engine / Transmission
AET Hybrid Turbo
Drexler Front Diff
- I presume the 4 point jack system is exactly as it sounds and is to jack the car off the deck? Is there a premium on fast pit stop times in Time Attack to warrant the extra weight of this?
- TTRS lower control arms? Does that mean these wil fit on the std spec Mk5 GTI as well? If so, what benefits to they bring over say Audi TT wishbones, or do they only fit due to the extra track you guys run.
- Drexler LSD? Is that a plate of ATB LSD not heard of these before, presumably this is orientated to track use and not road
- AET Hybrid? HOw does this rate/differ to say a LO4xx or compare power wise to the GTx28?)
I assume the TT-RS wishbones are the same as the TT arms with lower camber adjustment we have been using on this forum for a couple of years?
Sorry to hear about the engine SpeveP, a lot of work has gone into it :sad1:
I do like the fact that you use the Michelin Pilot Super Sport for wet weather which back up the impression i have of these tyres, they keep impressing me.
What tuning parts has gone into the new engine or is the internal stock for now? :happy2:
Also Steve, are you in a position to tell about the scirocco rear hubs: besides they are of alloy, are the increasing the track width, and if so by how much? :drinking:
Hi steve, good to see things are going well. Well bar the engine that is! Looking really good now though pal, keep up the good work. Danis lh, the rocco hubs increase rear track by 10mm. :happy2:
