    Building to return to Hillclimbing

    Was a basic road going car, made a few changes and added a few bits with the intention of getting back Sprinting and Hillclimbing.
    Here are some pics, your comments would be gratefully received
    Basic car

    A few stickers added


    Some Ally bits for it
    Radiator

    Intercooler


    Seats and harnesses


    Fuel Tanks



    Brakes


    Rear Spoiler for Aggresive look


    Stainless manifold for the T4


    Swedish Plenum



    Just waiting for a cage to come from Italy, a 19 point weld in jobby, and just waiting for the Gaz coilovers to arrive with adjustable TCA's,
    Oh and my Ebay Bargain

    £20

    Should be a bit quicker than standard and hold the road a bit better

            Plenum was £190 off Egay
            Couriers has lost my cage, so I will have to wait another 4 to 6 weeks for another one to be made in Italy
            What a pain in the arse. So all on hold until that comes

                      Out of interest, would you mind saying how much the cage cost.

                          here is the power curve, 200BHP increase between 4800 and 5600 revs on 95 Ron


                          Diff cooler fitted aswell


                          added a few more bits and sealed the tank and pumps in aswell, car is now taxed and MOT'd and I am having fun trying to keep it in a straight line when the boost comes in
