    Historic Mk2 BDG

    My m8 maintains race cars so I snapped these while at his shop. As far as I know the car runs BDG on 48's, Quafe 5speed Type 9, LSD, Bilsteins in the back and coil overs in the front. Front also has adjustable TCA's, Willwoods and Superflex bushes all round. Rear only has a panhard rod setup for now.
    We were checking the car because of a misfire and then my m8 wanted me to take the car for a spin to see if all was ok, then the battery died on us Anyhow hope you enjoy.

    Nice looking car, bet that BDG sounds the nuts.
    You must have different regs to us cos looking at this pic we wouldnt be allowed to leave the dry sump tank exposed inside the car, or run non braided pipes from it.
    We also aren't allowed to put the brake reserviors inside the car anymore as brake fluid is highly volitile



    Fair dues though its a lovely neat well prepped car kept nice and simple

    Re: Historic Mk2 BDG

    We found the problem with the car, one of the floats had a hole in and filled up with fuel but I actually got the opertunity to drive the car today and man what a car Also almost had a moment pulling away at a corner
    The gearing was quite short because it was set up for a short track but acceleration is blistering, bit of a hard ride but what do you expect driving on a public road.
