That's the video I mentioned in the reportGood video on the car
He asked me to talk about the Golf before we went out, which I was happy to do. I expected him to cut most of it out but he left nearly all of it inI don`t like watching / listening to myself on video, but to be fair, I don`t think many people do
It has been a very long project. Find the limiting factor and modify it. Then find the next area to focus and repeat. Making mistakes along the way too !Was interesting how much you'd modified it - I hadn't picked up on quite how far you'd taken some of it before.
Turrets needed raising particularly after switching the 17`s. The damper travel was very near the end of it`s stroke when the car was at rest, raising the top mount regained that lost travelNot enough emphasis on the shock tower work in the videos, the engineering in this car is superb and love reading your updates. You come across as such a stand up interesting bloke too. Thank for sharing![]()
It`s an F15 40d. 3.0 Diesel twin Turbo. Brilliant car.Fair play on the X5 going flat out too! What engine has that got in it?
oh, and any donuts left?![]()
Oh definitely. I retire in under 4 years and I`ll be starting a new project then. M2 Competition as a base. Golf will be broken for parts.Love this car. Just goes to show with a little thought and dedication anything can be made to go fast
Have you ever thought of trying something RWD and going full out on that or is this one of those cars for life?
Appreciate you replyingGreat read as always, thanks Nige![]()
Good video on the car
From reading some of the comments on Mishas video, you do wonder what world people live inEnjoyed that vid. Was interesting how the Golf kept up with and even caught that 911 GT3 through the twisties with the 911 pulling away in the straights (obviously).
