Adolf the Golf (VR6 Racecar)

Not at this stage. Enough work to go, getting it ready for Nationals!

[Jarred]

fair point!

[Zalemate]

But yes Jarred that is definitely the plan for the stage 2 once we have nationals behind us all the windows will end up being perspex/poly except the windscreen.
As Simon said. we do have a fair bit of work ahead of us before nats!

Another 40-50kg of unnecessary weight stripped from the racecar. This time, we needed the help of some power tools and dry ice.

Using the dry ice, we froze the sound deadening, which made it easy to shatter with a hammer. Caution to anyone wanting to try this for themselves, -76 degrees celcius will quickly give frostbite to any bare skin. Will probably need to get a bit more, still need to remove some from the front footwells and rain tray.

We removed the heater core (what a bitch!), fuel tank, exhaust and stock rear beam (in preperation for our new beam with better brakes and swaybar.)

Cut the front and rear seat rails out, and cleaned the engine bay up a bit. In preperation of engine refitting.

Still waiting on engine mounts, new engine pulleys, belt and power steering delete. We did however, recieve our upper intake piping from 42draftdesigns. This gives better flow and longevity over the stock plastic corrugated piping.

Still so much to do!

40-50kg in sound deadening alone?!

[trickysimon]

Haha I wish. Prob 10-20kg of sound deadening. Heater, and misc. metal we cut out as well.
