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

more welding up this after






then started on the spring mount



then stress happernd ,due to wear i amounted the rear subframe i carnt lower the dam wheel enoegh ,grr ,ill have to do some chopping 2moz make the buggar a bit lower

 

Crazy rate of progress!

 

lol cheers ,if i wasnt for the wind and rain ,ive have cracked on with the other ide too....least i know a mk4 4wd axle can be made to fit lmao

 

mobile packed up,,broke the screen grr,, but got the hydrolic clutch pedal fitted, along with a bit more rear axle fitted,,

 

Nice one mate as said cracking progress. canny wait to see this thing go!

 

ive a few more but cracked screen on mi mobile so hopfully another should be arriveing soon

 

bit more modifying 2day,,
made a rear damper mount ,,,
and saved on buying new dampers just just the oringle mk4 ones at a similar angle


and fitted a mk4 passat hydrolic pedal for the clutch to work

and ive decied evern thow ive made the rear arms im going to use smaller box ,so then ill have a little more clearance between the spring and arm and also the rear subframe,,

 

this thread rocks!!!!!!

 

how cold wa it this after ,,thought chuff it lol
managed to do a bit more on the rear bad pic but its a inch lower lol ,but im now thinking wheather to thow some 18s on it ,,what do u think..

ill have to fit the head spacer/gasket and some nice copper sealer too

add to sort the ecu as the buggar needed 3 spark outputs and nice lauch control lol

 

15's all the way mate! Think stealth

Wont 18's bugger your gearing even more, or (I assume) you've calc'd that?

Keep it up!

 

well ,15s are a no no due to engine sump been too low,,my mate has a older vr6 turbo with 18s and tbh ,is friggin dangrous ,lights tyres up in 4th ,
/or 100plus ,just unsure if anyones tryed fitted some to see...

 

no to the 18's

 

Your a loon

That splitty from 0- ? is insane

serious skills BTW

 

thats that then lol ur the mod...17s ill have to do ,,

 

just a bit of fun lol the bug is limited to 155mph and dose it without a problem,,the split 147 flat out and its only a 4 spd box lmao

 

only had a hour free,this isnt the best of pic ,but it the inner side off the pedle as this bit of weld usely breaks from factory ,so beefed it up ,,saves having to buy a new slave at 120/vat lol

then quickly drillede and bolted in place

hit a small prob on the bulk head ,,nothing major ,so nipped a bit out ,as i wanted the hydrolic pipe in the rail,,

job done ill sort a fluid bottle later ...

just warmed the bendy steel pipe ,and bent it straight,,,you can just see,

 

i wasnt happy with the rear arm as it was catching the dam spring and hitting the subframe so decided to alter it ,,this sorted the buggar out
fits and clears better


then start on the shorting the drive ,as i thought this may help incase anyone wants to try it ,
first cut the drive shaft to size and make it in to a pencil point


then once grind out ready place both halfs flat agaist the angle iron ,and mig tac to hold it in place ,then just give the centre a quick weld in the centre ,

 

OMG this is AMAZING!! Excuse the caps but you dont hang around do you mate, you have got to keep it rust like !! Pure sleeper machine...! Get some steels on it to add to the farm truck illusion!

 

lol i have some i may be able to adapt ,,,,

 

Those alloys are horrid.
