Cheers Peter. We need to sit down and sort out a definite direction here. Thanks for the info and encouragementIf I were to build a dedicated hill climber starting with what you've got there...
- Build the car as light as possible, absolutely minimal nothing but an oil warning lamp on the dash, 1 seat and controls. May be heading towards Tarmac rally now, but this is the general idea. Bare minimum required
- Chuck away the stock wiring and reinstall just enough to make it run Complete new harness will be made up
- 13" x 10 wheels running very soft wets Got heaps of wheels, will have to stocktake it all
- Don't bother with upgrading the brakes just make sure they work so you can stop when it's over. Maybe GTI calipers up front, they'll still fit under the 13s.
- I'd initially run the 1600 to set the car up and get used it. Thats the initial plan
- If 2.0L is an option then I'd be thinking really hard about the NA 20V motors with the aluminium block.They're really cheap now. Bang some carbs on and go. What models were these in? Exactly the info I'm after thanks.
That's making a lot of assumptions of course.
Do you intend to register it or trailer it to the track? Will be on at least club rego however depending on distance, will probably be towing it.
There's a fair difference between building for hillclimb vs sprint if you're taking it to the extreme. You'll have to lean towards one or the other and if there's compromises to be made favour the type of racing you most prefer.
I could blather on about all manner of technical stuff but really you need to put it all together and see what you need to change to suit you and your driving style.
Take a look around the Berg Cup site for some ideas. Berg-Cup e.V. - Spaß am Berg - Willkommen beim Berg-Cup e.V. - Gruppe H Lots of reading there thanks, but how to English it? I will sort that out later
There's so much you could do with this.
Main thing is to do it your way and get out there and have some fun with it.
