    Golf mk1 track cars

    Hello gang,

    What would be required to get a mk1 golf to crack sub 2.00mins at Phillip Island circuit?
    Future plans are to build a club level track car.

    Engine? Hp? Tire width? etc..$$$??

    Ran into this car on VWvortex, although a big dollar item I got all inspired!

    Cheers,
    Morgan

    Hey Morgan.
    That shouldn't be too hard buddy.
    I haven't run a Golf at Phillip Island but going on my simple formula to make a comparison in 2002 Mirage Cup cars were doing 1.53s at the Island and 1.07s at Symmonds Plains .That same year we had a street Golf doing 1.10s and our Mirage 1.07s.Thats some 3 plus seconds difference at Symmonds Plains.
    Because PI is longer I estimate the gap to be more like 5 plus seconds.
    Therefore going on 2002 Mirage times of 1.53 seconds add another 5 and I estimate our Golf at the time to be capable of 1.58 second times.
    There were lots of areas where we could have improved the Golf easily back then so even faster times wouldn't be that hard.

    If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

    Nope. It's a chequebook car built by Dynamic Racing Solutions in the US -> http://www.drsperformance.com/

    I think it's pretty ugly compared to some of the Berg Cup ones - not that I wouldn't have it for nothing

    God dammit,
    I really need to get some more info and photo's on my uncle's mk1 racer...

    All I know is mk1 2 door, white, big blue VW symbol on the side, 16v destroked motor, motec m800 (seriously), caged and bucket seated, using mk3 steelies and semi slicks... Presumably ITB's...\

    Some melbourne boy's know Bruce as an instructor down at Phillip Island, and I know he's driven some of your cars...

    He's not allowed to drive my car when i go down there, it'd be like being on my learners all again with my dad screaming at me...LOL!
