mk1 caddy 24v turbo 4wd project ,stress...56k warning

I think this is the fastest project CGTi has ever seen cant wait to see the rest of it coming together

 

nice thought but i woundnt go that far ,theres some real quick v dubs on around,,,have to say though ,at some point im going to have real tracksion problems over 400bhp lol ,ive evern got my fuel maps set up enough fuel to run 560bhp ,,,just fitted a sweet 4bar map sensor too ,probley never use it ,but i supose its there if needed ,,,,cool reply ,,,

 

What a project and well done!

There are some serious projects going on atm!

 

lol i actually ment the fastest progressing, but it will also be one of the faster dubs about aswell!

 

i'd kept it with the green mould on it

looks great though!

 

cheers guys ,hope i can speeze a bit more time in later on 2day,,,i think it maybe a little nutty to drive ,,,it shouldnt be the slowest pickup ....

 

cheers ,long as it olds together ,should be ok ,for a bit of fun,,,,

 

Nice work mate, and so quick too!

 

cheers bud nothing ill be happerning for a few days dam wheather

 

good job man, ive been looking for a decent caddy for months.

 

Wow!!!!!

 

Still doing everything outside then?

This bloke is proper hardcore - how did the T5 Beetle end up as i've not been on RR for a long time?

 

someones found me lol ,the bug well ,i was tempted and had the stilly out a few times ,in the end i ended up strenghing the bug up ,new wheels,full respray ,hand made new rear wings, new rear deck lid ,side pipe and electronic scoop ,and a few ther bits and bobs ,ill be going to pick it up this week so ill pop some pics up as i could find my old t5 bug pos on rr,in a way i must be mad because the bug will do a 12sec quarter and is tax free lol and yes ive provern that it will do 155mph too ,,,,but the winters coming so 4wd maybe needed

 

interesting project, good stuff.

 

looks good, cant wait to see more

 

definatly looks gd
have u got any pics of the bug? definatly be interested in seeing that

 

trail fit the engine 2day ,as i reckon it will fit fine ,evern with the 6speed as i thought i was going to butcher the inner wings out ,,some things will be a bit tight but i aint going to worry about them ,,my home made turbo fitsand has lots of room ,still ill have re locat the extrenal wastegate



ITS DEFO SLAMMED THE FRONT NOW LOL


few more bits done and started 2day

welded pipes on short runner


,i need to angle it more ,ill sort this no probs

trail fit of the propshaft
those garden bricks come handy lol

riped the old rear axle off, and oh dear dam std golf is short as well ,what a suprize

then thought ill trail fit the rear 4motion axle ,and yes,,more stress ,i shorted it too mutch ,as i only tuck a outside measurement of the tyres ,forgot about the thickness ,,lol


as u see from the rear wheel,looks ok thow ,so recut and welded a bit more on ,
seems better

looks more like a skatbord then a caddy lol

just riped carpets out ,to fit the clutch pedal

looking as well as the propshaft will be up in the tunnel ,may have to partly mount the gear selector on the top

more probs 2day playing gess work ,with the engine,its either sump hits the floor or rocker cover hits the bonett, or wacks the old mk1 wishbones then transfor hits steering then my twating manifold wont fit ,so in all had a **** day lol,along with cutting driveshafts lol
few pics

had to make it fit best i cud considering clearance issuise

ill get rack ripped of 2moz its going to be tight ,fitting inlet ,fan and rad in there and a incooler ,,,plus my dam manifold want fit ,so more chopping is needed lol

once racked moved sorted ,ill cut tunnel to suit

just about to start on the other side and dam rain came ,grr



steering rack off

more tinkering to get prop in


bit of driveshaft shorting




just made a start on the short runner

bit of bending here and there ,and it will fit ,

i reckon ill get a radiator and fan thown in there
may have to find another place for the intercooler

just a quick homemade engine mount be ok with some weld and strenghers on it , so i can slighty higher the prop for a few more mm to rise the sump lol


havent got mutch time at mo guys sorry

http://retrorides.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=35605&page=1

 

decided to beef it up a little more



well that ill do for that engine mount mount lol

next 6spd linkage needs to be started as
i mounted the propshaft right up in the tunnel
,
so remote will be welded best i can ,and i chop the cables to shortern them later,trail fit

 

You got skills. This caddy is gonna be awesome!
