MK5 Race Car

[steved]

Hi im new the forum.
 Ive managed to buy a rolling 3dr GTi shell for next to nothing and have decided to turn it in to my next race car for the Quaife Motorsport saloon car championship (QMN) currently i race a 420bhp mk3.


The MK3


The rolling shell



















































Sqs Shifter


Caddy power steering rack


Pedal box mount









Dummy engine in, Yes a 1.8T only because i'm using my old MK3 engine with the Dog box, the only problem ive found is the drive shafts dont fit the 02j box.

Very interesting mate, good luck with it

Looking good Steve.  You still running me old BT downpipe on the GT28 turbo?

Check the length of some MK4 golf gti shafts as they may fit.

Hi ive now got a 2871 rebuilt by CR turbos with some fancy internals, Ah would the outer cv splines be the same?

[vRSAlex]

They should be the same.  You should be able to swap the outer cv's to the MK5 versions if they are not.

Looks awesome, that mk3 looks a proper piece of kit!

Suspension = KW V3 with altered spring rates but for some reason ive got 50mm of rear wheel arch clearance on the lowest setting

Brakes = VW Motorsport 6 pots with 360mm floating discs

Wheels = Team Dynamics 1.2's with Porsche cup slicks

Today ive managed to fit the rad and fans in the front panel and tomorrow i'll have a go at the front mount intercooler.

This looks like a proper thread.
