Title: MK5 GTi racecar
Post by: CmC on February 15, 2014, 08:32:29 pm: This is my Mk5 racecar. For the VLN endurance championship at the Nürburgring. I'm English but working over in Germany at the moment.
Bought as a ready to go race car, with only a few minor jobs to get it to meet the (slightly tighter) German DMSB regulations.
:driver:

Only had chance to use it once on a test day last year, with it developing a fuel problem on the first lap, think it was the P1095 code, so I've changed the low pressure sensor on the HP pump, I'll delete the code then try again, got a in tank pump as second option. :happy2:
Looking for a complete standard air intake set up replace the cone system you can see in the pictures (regulations again) so message me if you have one, I'll do a wanted post as well.

Chris

Post by: JoeDarKa on February 15, 2014, 08:39:33 pm: That looks AWESOME!! Is it a custom kit?
Title: Re: MK5 GTi racecar
Post by: CmC on February 15, 2014, 08:41:56 pm: Thanks :smiley:

Yeah custom kit, making replacement from the inevitable smash a bit difficult. But I'll find something.

I stripped the graphics off to start again, not sure which direction I'll go yet, but full respray first.

Nice build, good luck with the VLN. In addition to the above, what gearbox and suspension ?

Pictures of the rear to follow.
Yes to diffuser, this and the Rear wing were already on the car, but maybe I can find out the supplier.

Standard gearbox with a Quaife LSD- will review whether to switch to drexler once I've done some testing.

Suspension is all H and R, coil overs and roll bars.

Brake wise, Brembo four pots on the front and standard rears.

Post by: CmC on February 23, 2014, 03:54:52 pm: Pictures (albeit bad ones) of the rear end as requested, again, I'll get some more once I've finished tidying and get it out the workshop.

Started looking at the front end, I've got a SEAT Cupra cup car front splitter, with an extra extension (made by Xsport Racing) so pulled the front end off, the wings are bolted through the bumper.

my idea, mainly for transport reasons, is to have the front end reasonably quick removal, clamshell style.

Post by: rex on February 23, 2014, 07:01:53 pm: OMG, that wing is HUGE!
The car looks very, very aggressive so VLN will suit it just fine :grin:.
When you have some time could you please post some pictures with the rear diffuser (maybe underneath the car?).

Still need to get rid of this aluminium pipe and put a standard airbox and pipe back on, anyone?

One of the car parks there reminds me of a camp I was at in Germany. In the Forces?

Post by: CmC on April 10, 2014, 07:50:57 pm: Nope, Motorsport, but in Cologne. In a ex army area (Belgium army I think)

ill add engine cover to my list, it's actually really hard to get parts over here!
