Very nice!

What brakes?

What 1/4 or 0-100?

Total build cost?

**evorobin** · 22-04-2009, 09:53 PM

Perfect except it needs new wheels they are horrid. Great sleeper!

His reply:
Discs: AP 305mm, calipers Brembo 4 pods.
0 - 100 time? Must be around 5 seconds. Weight of the car incl. driver 1285 kg, so less then 4 kg/hp. No real traction problems because the 4 motion system. Topspeed in the second gear is 111km/h so till 100 I need one gearshift.
Costs: a lot of time and some money

Those wheels weren't selected for looks... They are OZ UltraLeggera - very, very light. Not to mention costly... These are 16", less than 6.5kg a corner.

light weight and brembo 4pot clearance.

if you were pushing that much torque, had 4wd and 4pot brembos, i'd have dumpage and nice rims at the sacrifice of that .1 second 0-100 and few kilos extra unsprung mass

**golfmeup** · 23-04-2009, 12:51 PM

I actually dont mind the wheels. They show the nice shiney Brembos very well

Whoa how cool. It must haul arrse!

Don't know where my pics went so...

It's an A reg 1984 3 door
8V K Jet
In Black LO41
93k (has service history and Mot's back this up)

Lowered, Racing Dynamics
Corrado interior, Black in good condition.
Modified centre console to house the radio
VDO gauges in the radio slot

HIDS
De textured bumpers, skirts and arches.
16v GTi rear lights
Leather handbrake gaiter

Thinking of importing this when I leave the Uk. Thoughts? Should I go back to small bumpers? (never had them since i had it.) Thoughts?

Great mk2 mate. Leave the bumpers as is looks really good with the coding.

Sold a set of those wheels last week in 5x120 would love to get a set in 4x100
