Our new 2013 Time Attack Car: -

(http://daz.co/media/kk207/Stevep_010/TimeAttackFinal6A_zps480e226a.jpg)

It's going to be a full on race car with a wide arch kit, widened track and a target dry weight of 1000kg's, power to be high 400's  :driver:

A time lapse camera is running on the build so lots of info to come, currently being stripped and caged  :smiley:

Oh my.

Can I have a go?

Lots more updates to come over the coming weeks in preparation for the first race on 1st April  :driver: :driver:

Where's the first race Steve?

Cadwell Park  :driver:

Round 2 – 11th May, Croft
Round 3 – 9th June, Snetterton
Round 4 – 20th July, Oulton Park
Round 5 (Pro class) – 8th September, Silverstone

We will also be running the car at a couple of events in Holland and maybe at the Tuner GP at Hockenhein  :smiley:

Ahh fantastic. I might well come up to Cadwell.

Croft is on my doorstep. :happy2:  Will you be arriving a day or 2 early for practice?

Normally arrive the day before for some track time or at least to walk the circuit if free practise isn't available.

I will be running some competitions on forums and facebook to give some tickets away so keep an eye out  :happy2:

Lovely project :love:

Only two pedals Steve?

What do you reckon the weight will be overall? 1100kg inc fluids?

Brake and clutch, you re-use the OEM drive by wire pedal  :happy2:

We will find out on the weight in the next 10 days once the final body parts arrive (or I drive the 980 miles to Poland to collect them)  :smiley:

saw this in PVW looks a beaut. will be along to cadweel definitely to see this.

will be good to see 2 golfs running in the TA once statlers are running theirs too

As i see in the picture you have opted for the TT mk2 front hub and lower control arms, so app. 22 mm wider track each side?
The rear are they the Scirocco rear alloy hubs? How much wider track will that give you Steve?  :smiley:

^^^ We beleive a only a few mm per side (<5mm) but will measure the difference when fitting in the next few days  :happy2:

Amazing work Steve, please keep us updated. What chrod and span on the rear wing ?

 :pomppomp:

what are the wheels Steve?

Woahh!! Coming along well steve  :surprised:  :happy2:

Very, very nice, Steve!  :notworthy:
In your images and in VW Poland images I noticed some alignment issues with the new bonnet, fenders and hood (ok for racing but not ok for street). Are the elements all aligned on your Golf (my guess is that they are only in a temporary position)? Is the alignment a real issue or am I just imagining things?

The body kit has not been installed, the parts are just hanging on the car for the photo's  :happy2:

My guess is Team Dynamics, could be totally wrong, but that is what the Miltek MK5 ran in the BTCC

Looking forward to seeing this progress  :popcornsoda:

Love the look of it here  :drool:

IS the Software provider a secret or are we allowed to know.

Any details on the driver and what class it will be entering?

^^^^ The driver will be Rich Marshall and we will be in Club Pro 2wd this year.

No details being release on the software or engine specs at this stage.

Finishing touches starting to go today, like the trim, seals, door handles, wing mirrors, all the wiring and quick release steering wheel to name of few of todays achievements  :happy2:

I need a go of this.

That car looks fast just sitting still  :driver:

Loving the front splitter it finishes off the front end really well  :happy2:

Dave

Epic  :notworthy:

I missed your post about ticket competitions, already booked 1st April lol.  Doh!

Wicked!  :love:

Shouldn't the mirrors be black Mr P?  :innocent:

It's not an .:R  :P

It's amazing how putting the wheels on brings it all together, I was not feeling the pics when it came back from paint but it looks very purposeful now.  :happy2:
I would love a pax ride with Richard driving again at the Nurburgring  :party: I am going to try ang make it to Cadwell.

I know exactly what it is was!  :laugh:

Random question and completely against the grain so sorry!

Is the vehicle solely for track/off road use or does it have vehicle approval for road use?? Completely random I know, but something I really find interesting!  :p

Like that a lot! :love:

Any idea when the graphics are going on her, Steve?

brilliant work

i absolute love track inspired cars

Steve... what rear brakes are you using? Standard GTI one?

^^^^ Nope standard 1.6 ones from the donor shell as it's running a full brake bias setup.

Here's a couple more pics, now with added rear wing  :smiley:

Wait until it has the graphics applied :happy2:

Think the ones on the BTCC Leon and Golf looks better.  Little bit smaller and definitely lles "Max Power"

BUT

as Steve said, with the graphics it wont stand out so much.

It is a time attack car, wait until you see some of the others. There is a S1 Exige that entered last year and did well. This year they have gone bonkers with a 600BHP engine and a full aero package tested in a wind tunnel. It has a rear spoiler coming out of the front.  :chicken: Looks ridiculous but when the rule book doesn't exist, to stand a chance of competing you have to go bonkers.  :happy2:  :driver:

Fair point.

Steve, how come there is no front splitter or rear diffusers on, or is that still in the pipe line?  I remember reading about Bo Nielsons VXR which i gather was pretty average when he first entered, but once he started fiddling around with the aero and splitters/diffussers he started outpacing everyone.

Front does have a vained splitter and rear diffuser is on the cards  :happy2:

 :happy2:

Looking forward to cadwell  :driver:

Looks ace!  :happy2:

Does it double up as Pies picnic table?

Wasn't sure about the wide body in the first few pictures but seeing it on its wheels and finished it looks fantastic  :happy2:

Excellent build  :happy2:

Said this to Steve the other day.....you can go really deep into the catalogues with TA .......scrutineers at TA events are about as much use as Anne Franks drum kit

What brakes are you running Steve?  Straight off the pedal box with no servo?

Gotta make sure they are spot on matched.

excellent work Steve- all been well i might pop down to croft in May to see it in action as the track is only 20 min from my house

What date's Croft Andy?  I'll be up for it if Im not working

http://www.timeattack.co.uk/2011/index.php

:happy2:

11 May  :happy2:

Will there be a Tix giveaway for croft Steve or shall I book now?  :smiley:

No need to show off  :innocent:

Look forward to seeing it in action

Will this be ready for 1st Apr at Cadwell?

Of course, just due to the weather we have been able to get as much track time as we would have liked to shake down the car. I have collected the car tonight and will be bringing it back to Milltek HQ tomorrow morning ready for the livery to be applied and final fit of few finishing touches  :happy2:

Also a massive thanks to Vagbremtechnic (aka DaveB) for sourcing and hand delivering some of the finest brakes I have ever seen  :notworthy: :notworthy:

Looking forward to seeing what Dave is getting up to with this one as well.

It might be making some OHW appearances later in the session, it's currently undergoing a full engine rebuild  :happy2:

Nice one Lee!  :happy2:

How did it get on?

3rd in their CP2 class out of 4 from what I can gather! I wasn't there...busy candy crushing lol

Just spoke to Steve...

A frustrating day but very much underlined by some quietly confident sense that its a very promising car which if things continue will be the one to watch.

Brakes performed as advertised some tweaking required to get 100% out of them but thats as expected with the setup the cars running. Steve might put some pics up but remember its early in the season and sometimes there's little point educating others as to what you're running.

Nice AP caliper I would imagine.....

looking great

sorry to hear about the problems, hoipefully only minor

I bet you guys were gutted about the car losing drive.  Was this in the free practice or during the timed sessions?

Am i right in saying this year slicks are allowed?

Bit of a slide  :driver:

It snapped a drive shaft going out to the qualifying session, we got it swapped in time for the final but it had some other damage that prevented it from setting a good time.

We are off to Zandvoort in 10 days so the car is currently being sorted at KPM and will be ready for it's next adventure  :driver: :driver:

Is driveshaft failure a known issue in the Mk5/6 race cars or was it just a one off?  Any uprated alternatives or is it a case of buy loads of stock ones and replace them as required?

Cadwell is renowned to be harsh on transmissions due to frequently skipping around and getting air time with all the mad elavation changes

The driveshafts do fail (see APR's FB page) so we will be carrying spares. In our case it was the outer CV it killed but this was one of the few old parts on the car.

Whats the latest with the TA car then Steve?

Are we getting a full spec  :party:

I do believe it is at the Tuner GP at Hockenheim.  :smiley:

just looks stunning Steve

Great work SteveP, pure awesomeness  :notworthy:
Dare i ask if the blown engine is from your old red GTI?  :smiley:

^^^^ I think you know the answer to that question Jake  :wink:

Here's the remains of the old engine

And I am sure the oil pump is meant to stay inside the engine not end up 150 foot away from the car after being ejected through the sump  :sick:

Some questions about the tires: what compound are you using? Do you have different compounds for different weather? If yes, could you please tell me what compound you use at what weather (if it's not a secret, of course)?
I am asking because I also have 03G on my car...

Cheers for posting a spec up Steve.  Ive been looking forward to this for ages.  :drinking:

Ouch  :sick:, that stage 3+ motor from the temptress just seems to be the Mk5 equivalent of my vRS engine, ie always going wrong  :fighting:  What engine code was the Stage 3+ motor? Was it CDLA or BWA/AXX.  Do we know the route cause, or was it a case of who cares, throw it away, start again with a different tuner/engine.

So the spec as it stands today: -

Shell / Interior

4-Point Airjack System

Suspension & Brakes

VAG OEM Alloy hubs and wishbones (From TTRS on the front and Scirocco R on the Rear)

Engine / Transmission

AET Hybrid Turbo
Drexler Front Diff

Interested in the specs above. 

• I presume the 4 point jack system is exactly as it sounds and is to jack the car off the deck?  Is there a premium on fast pit stop times in Time Attack to warrant the extra weight of this? 
• TTRS lower control arms?  Does that mean these wil fit on the std spec Mk5 GTI as well?  If so, what benefits to they bring over say Audi TT wishbones, or do they only fit due to the extra track you guys run.
  
• Drexler LSD?  Is that a plate of ATB LSD  not heard of these before, presumably this is orientated to track use and not road
• AET Hybrid?  HOw does this rate/differ to say a LO4xx or compare power wise to the GTx28?)
  

Looking good now though  :love:

I assume the TT-RS wishbones are the same as the TT arms with lower camber adjustment we have been using on this forum for a couple of years?
Sorry to hear about the engine SpeveP, a lot of work has gone into it  :sad1:
I do like the fact that you use the Michelin Pilot Super Sport for wet weather which back up the impression i have of these tyres, they keep impressing me.
What tuning parts has gone into the new engine or is the internal stock for now?  :happy2:

Also Steve, are you in a position to tell about the scirocco rear hubs: besides they are of alloy, are the increasing the track width, and if so by how much?  :drinking:

The airjack system is for a number of reasons, it's gives us the opportunity to complete a pit stop during a TA session if required and is just bloody helpful when working on the car in the pit garage too.

We are using TTRS hubs and arms for the extra track and weigh saving, I believe these are the same as all TT Quattro arms.

The Drexler diff is a low maintenance plate diff so can be run for a full season with being rebuilt

I don't have anything to compare the AET to the Loba at this stage so won't comment on that. All I know is the car running a mild 1.15bar boost at Hockenheim was able to set lap times than just 0.6 seconds slower than a fully stripped and race prepped Golf R running 500+bhp that was driven by a pro German Touring car driver who's won the event for the last 3 years (but we where faster than the two APR cars  :signLOL:)  :smiley:

Stock internals for now on the CDLA lump, we aren't pushing for big power at present  :happy2:

This is a 2 year + project so have plently of time to develop the car.

Yep wider track, I can't remember the exact figure but will measure it next time I am doing some work on the car  :happy2:

Excellent Steve, that you are doing so well against the opposition  :happy2:
No doubt that the team is benefitting from your time on this forum and in time you will prevail  :congrats:
I follow you on the benefits of running a stock engine and then gradually upping the power when needed. No doubt i will follow this car closely and see if there's something i can use for my own car in the process  :drinking:
The info on the rear hubs would be much appreciated as i'm considering this for my own car as well  :smiley:

Keep up the great work  :notworthy:

Hi steve, good to see things are going well. Well bar the engine that is! Looking really good now though pal, keep up the good work. Danis lh, the rocco hubs increase rear track by 10mm. :happy2:
