GTI Track Car - Now big turbo, sidewinder.
shannon-ob:
Not too much to update.
Got all the rear bushes mounted up and got the car geo set up done.
I can confirm it’s extremely tight/stiff.
In other news...
The golf’s new home! Finally got myself a unit :)
Which meant I could finally work in the dry, warm (ish) with power and a ramp (although working on the floor..)
Test fit of the fibreglass bonnet..
Front end off to replace the broken slam panel and lots of maintenance jobs.
So the car goes off for cage this weekend coming! So I’ve got the dash out, seats out, glass out (to be replaced with poly carbs!) and got to drill out any spot welds.
I’ve also done so maintenance and upgrades;
Pick up pipe
Re seal sump
Ordered the missing gasket from turbo oil return to sump
Removed standard oil cooler to make way for the mocal 13 row cooler and oil stat.
Inlet been off to fit the RFD
Had an oil leak from the cam chain cover the gasket had seen better days and the o ring from the vacuum pump was missing
Whilst I have the cover off I’ll do the cam chain and tensioner
Rocker cover gasket was also very brittle so glad I’m doing it.
Cambelt and water pump will be getting done too.
I’ve also bought the latest revision of dipstick and tube.
Lots to do
Some parts supplied by AKS.
RFD installed
The intake temp sensor that someone bodged and super glued
That’s all for now. Will try to keep updated!

Had the spare wheel well cut out and a new panel welded in to get ready for centre exit exhaust!
It’s slowly getting there
