Project SVH 4motion

Not bad at all! That's shifting along nicely. Will have some immense pull out of corners now.

Thanks mate, just deciding what to do with diffs now, tempted to get a plated central diff so 4wd is permanently engaged.

 

Finally got round to wrapping the heat shield R-Tek made for the bulkhead before the trackday, not the tidiest job but I was in a rush,

And also got to say thanks to JJ at R-Tek Motorsport who helped out while at Anglesey. Before leaving I managed to catch a boost pipe on the ramps which must have broke the seal as after a few laps it popped off. JJ helped out and got back on track, popped off a later in the day again but it just needed cleaning up and joining properly.

I love this car

 

Thanks mate! Thinking about stopping spending on it now, apart from stage 2+ map and new wheels. lol

 

Looking good that now. really nice cage, maybe I missed but did you make it yourself?

 

Thanks Benny.

Unfortunately I'm not that skilled. I took it to R-Tek Motorsport, same place that did my engine.

 

Interesting, I didn't know they were good for that too, nice job!

 

Indeed they are, good value too when the price for a fully custom cage built how you want it is roughly the same as the custom cages stuff.

Also sent the arches off for a little alteration:

2 years and no update!

Whatever happened to this? It looks lovely!

 

ooooooooooooooh. Looks good in black!

Would very much like to come across this on track!

At first, reading the thread, i was a bit skeptical, 4 door, heavy low powered V6, it didn't seem like the ideal place to start.

It certainly took a turn for the better though!

It's fantastic to see something develop as you read the thread!

Ko4 TFSI, R-tek cage, decent brakes, looks very proper indeed.

I wonder if it's still got the wooden gear knob lol

 

quick google and I found it on uk-mkivs. Not been updated in 6 months or so though. Seems many of these things get built, then life takes over!

Dreading that happening to mine, but I'm sure it will at some point!

 

You're a mind reader thought I'd posted the same question at 1 this morning but must have been dreaming lol

 

Pervert!!!! lol lol

 

I must say, if I was going to track a car it probably would be a Mk4. Always been a fan of this one since the build thread started

 

And there's nothing wrong with still having a wooden knob ! Mine has

 

As said, life has taken over. I still have it though, occasionally gets a run out and hasn't had any problems. I'd booked onto a number of trackdays over the past couple years but had to cancel. Maybe try and squeeze one in soon.

For now...
