Thread: MK5 GTI Race Car

  1. #11

    We will have to run a control Hankook semi slick tyre, this was just an initial mechanical shakedown to see if there were any underlying issues with the car we bought. No point wearing out race tyres on that.

    Nothing done to the steering, just the Coilovers installed with a bit of camber which would have chang d the geometry a bit.

    Well done mate.

    You going to run in Production cars? NSW pulls good grids and a good option other than IPRA.
    AGI cage?

    Yes Woody it's 3E Class D
    Should kill everything in the class to be honest - you have the Kirkhams, Mini's and some Toyota GT86, just need to make sure they don't win by too much! (Class C is mainly Megane RS, so quite a step up, there is also a Scirocco R)

    Hey guys,

    been a bit slack with updating this thread.

    So far we have done 2 rounds and been there or there abouts with the other cars in class, despite not having an LSD, still standard tune, old tyres and overweight. So PLENTY more to come from this car.

    Here are some pics from previous rounds:

    Round 1

    Round 2

    For the next round at SMSP on July 1&2 we will have an MFactory Helical LSD going in, with an upgraded Clutch kit, K&N Panel Air filter, front brake ducting, some Ecliptech Shift P2+ shift lights and possibly a custom dyno tune depending on budget. It is a 1 hour enduro on the Sunday with qualifying and Driver A and Driver B sprint races on the Saturday.

    More to come from this little beastie!
