Will's mk2 Polo Track Car - Uupdated November 1st

Jettadan: inspiration possibly!

It will be similar, bigger arches, a proper cage phatter wheels and lots and lots of carbon!


Nick: The chasis' are polo only, not based on anything, the front suspension set-up is somewhat dodgy, with a track control arm holding the strut back and the ARB acting as a hold-it-together bar pulling the strut forwards. a subframe conversion converting the car to wishbone is needed to get any decent handling out of them and the strut design makes coilovers expensive unless you DIY.

 

stunning well done

 

awwwww yeeea. this is going to be ace. ill be watching this thread.

 

UPDATE!!

The bay is sprayed now and the engine is in, I got hold of and ITB setup, with Megasquirt for a steal recently, just wondering how to wire it up now!

I've made the coilovers not and they are up for sale to make some funds, I know how to make them now, so call them a prototype!

My seat arrived, Corbeau Sprint, it's my temp drivers seat untill I can afford a Revoloution then it will be my passenger seat.

I'm hoping to get the inside sprayed this weekend, then start assembling the car!

 

Looking good Will.

Some parts look strangely familiar

 

thanks dude!

help me!

what is this part?

i ahve no idea where it goes, or what it is!!!

 

Is that hole in mani for your brake servo vacuum?

 

the car it is in has no servo, can i just blank this?

 

It is wired into what I'm gunna call "the itb part of the loom" with the throttle pot and injector triggers, im hoping young_un will clear this up as he made the kit!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been informed that it *may* be the air intake temp sensor, am i right in thinking this should sit outside the mouth of one of the TBs??

 

BMW air temp sender Just stick it around the inlet of the ITB. It's all calibrated in Megatune (Or was) using EasyTherm- just adds a correction factor.

Blank The Runner off with the brake servo vacuum feed

 

your'e a star

thanks
