antera309 3 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I still have the mag that features this car. The engine is an almost standard VR6 - aftermarket cams, gas flowed head, straight-through 'zorst and uprated FPR, but that's about it. The weight loss is extreme though - floorpan cut out and thin ali plates welded in, perspex windows, fibreglass bootlid, bonnet, bumpers, motorcycle battery etc, on top of an extreme stripdown. Even the wheels are ultra-lightweight items. The thing weighs little more than a single-seater.It may not be pretty, but on the dragstrip it is devatstatingly effective and just goes to show how much the standard mk3's performance is hampered by weight!I've Never heard anything about this car since, maybe it was broken up. With a decent turbo install it would have been a 10-second car, no problem. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 What about the strengh of the chassis as buy the sounds of it - stripping it the way they have would mean u bump it your struggling lol Link to post Share on other sites

Ickyketseddie 89 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Well impressive figures considering the bottom end is still stock!! Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 What about the strengh of the chassis as buy the sounds of it - stripping it the way they have would mean u bump it your struggling lolThe idea is to install a light alloy rollcage, welded to all 4 suspension turrets, to get the chassis strength back.

Paul1982 0 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I no what you mean Nik but bugger using a cage just the get the strength of the chassis back to near original strength - the Rollcage was designed to give a car EXTRA strength, stopping the chassis flexing to improve handling etc etcSo compromising the strength by having something faster does nothing for me - i may aswel have a Westfield.
