Hey I bought my car almost 3 years ago and wanted to keep it the same as I bought it as we all plan to. After a few little problems like the flywheel exploding and destroying everything in its path like the block, crank, gearbox, and cut the chassis rail it was just one thing after another, I just wanted to go faster and faster. It now makes 306rwkw on pump fuel.
My main aim for the car in the end was to have a tough street car, respectable times at the drags and a car I could drive to and from the track for club sprint races. Let me know what you think.
Here is a list of mods ive made.

Next club sprint is at Sandown on the 4th of june (Sunday) Car is getting a bit of work done before then so hopefully should be putting in a better effort than last time when the gearbox gave up on the back straight, got a little grudge match going with a GTIR Paulser and a 70 year old who drives it like hes 20.
Get done and have a look if you can, better yet someone else enter a VL so we can race.

04-06-06, 17:10 GMT+10#17 Hey nice photos man, yeah a day to forget for the poor old girl. You should have come say hi. Not to sure at the moment definetly diff and a very good chance on the gearbox as well. So far the thoughts are that the gearbox siezed and the diff went for a ride with it but ill let you know when i can be bothered to drop the oils and see what comes out.
