Mk3 Race Cars...

[Water Boy]

Today when i was sitting in Physics watching the world go by i started thinking has any one on here or know of any body who as built a Mk3 Race car because to my knowledge the only one has been the F2 rally Car driven by Simon Evans and there was a quy with a VR6 racing in the NSW Sprint series any others circuit racing Mk3's? Tell us what your thoughts and knowledge are and pics are good too and even better some lap time and power out puts...

Cheers James :)

P.S I need more ideas to dream about in English on friday j:

NICE CAR!

Are the R32 rotors and callipers bolt-on or is modification required? What size wheels are needed to fit over them?

[Water Boy]

That is a sick VR6 any Mk3 16V race cars???

[golf3]

I highly doubt there would be any 16v mk3's...

[GoLfMan]

I highly doubt there would be any 16v mk3's...
surely in europe?

[static1800]

Simon evans' old mk3 was a 16v im pretty sure it is anyway, that thing is a weapon Steve Muller has it now.

[golf3]

Yeah..the homologated rally cars were 16v... And Simon Evans was the 290hp 16v motor i commented about earlier...

As per my statement above, i was referring to Australian mk3 race cars...

gotcha! ;) be interesting to see what race teams in europe did with the 16v!

[evorobin]

Are there any MK3 16v's about the only one I've seen was dark blue or black and turned up at a Birdwood (on interstate plates) car festival ages ago. I'm not talking about conversions but seriously there is not one single MK3 GTI owner on here or vortex :???:

[golf3]

There is an original for sale on this forum...

[GoLfMan]

There is an original for sale on this forum...
nah that was converted from a VR6 i believe ;)

[20vkitcar]

there is two sitting in a shed and a third aussie converted CL....one is factory rhd the other is lhd and a weapon

[golf3]

there is two sitting in a shed and a third aussie converted CL....one is factory rhd the other is lhd and a weapon

Given that information, there are the following mk3 16v's in Australia.

1 - a genuine personal import
2 - my conversion from GL to 16v
3 - conversion from vr6 to 16v
4 - conversion from CL to 16v
5 - LHD genuine in a shed
6 - RHD genuine in a shed

Looks like I've lost my individuality now :(

[Bora Sport]

Yours is still the only personally converted Australian delivered GL in Australia!

Cheers

You should just give it to me.

There is also a Mk3 16v Jap Import that a girl and her Mother were racing at the last Oran Park Supersprint.
Had a chat with them and they imported it as a racecar as her Mother is a known racer and so had the pedigree to do it.
The car had lots of stickers on and some good gear on it.

Chris Eyre is my hero


A bit of an update.

Ages ago I'd arranged to go and see Ken Lark, who owns the car now, and have a good look through some of the fine VWM / Frazero parts that he has amassed over the years. He knew the late Richard Lloyd, so the odd Audi BTCC wing and wheel lying around just gives a hint of what he's seen.

Anyway, this car is now painted silver:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/10/IMG_0778-1.jpg

It's got a bit of Golf A59 or the TDI racers about it.

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/10/IMG_0799-1.jpg

Airjack inlet, just below the light ^^

Speedlines as mentioned above, ETs pushing things to the max, and the wings are tugged outwards:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/10/IMG_0801-1.jpg

Believe it or not, that is full droop!


Proper race Brembos in the front, same type as the Reeves use:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/10/IMG_0785-1.jpg


Shortblock 2.0 litre engine, RPM stamped in the usual engine plaque position, bearing out what's mentioned above about it:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/10/IMG_0771-1.jpg

The shell is something else mind:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/10/IMG_0800-1.jpg

Seam welded conspiciously. Exquisite cage in there. Note the curved bar, behind the drivers seat, curved just to create extra room for the seat. On the other side, the bar is straight. Also twin tanks fitted, clearly for endurance, one below the rear seat area, another behind the axle.

Shell plaque found near the base of the B-pillar:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/10/IMG_0768-1.jpg

On the A-pillar:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/10/IMG_0780-1.jpg

This name looks like the co that created it, as the chassis number matches the initials:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/10/IMG_0765-1.jpg

I wonder if HPR has heard of them? Looks like a 1997 car at best guess from the chassis no. Came out of Austria, but rumours of Sweden also.


Some of the detail mentioned earlier in the thread...


Dogbox fitted, with flatshift working on a VWMS lever:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/10/IMG_0770-1.jpg

- apparently it's adjustable for testing, so the rpm cut out lasts longer when you're in less of a rush.
- edit: note extended cable pick up at the base, altering the pivot effect.


Rear axle:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/10/IMG_0788-1.jpg

Note blade adaptor, rose joint drop link ^^ Also evidence of flat flooring going on with fuel tank underside contours x 2.

Shown same but different on this spare axle - stud welded on back edge:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/10/IMG_0777-1.jpg

I had my eye on that on eBay then it disappeared. Good value for money if it's the black car I'm thinking of.

The black kepm tools or the white one?

[AtlasMk2]

Yeah Andrews black one.Lovely bloke,the car is amazing and its had the best of everything added to it already.I only stopped in to take a look on the way to looking at an Rx7,and acouple mins later it wasn't on ebay anymore : )
ITs to replace my Peugeot 306 Gti 6 road/track car,and now keeping it in the VAG family with my A3 8L 1.8t road car.

[Water Boy]

Very nice.

Plans to keep doing track days and sprints?

[AtlasMk2]

Had my first outing in the vr6 yesterday,had a lot of troubles finding the right tyre pressures with the slicks.and the car finished the day it did on a previous vw nats day when it sheared off some wheel nuts.

[HaydEn]

Record any times?


"I only post on Facebook if I know i am going to get likes" - M

[Water Boy]

I saw that it sheared wheels bolts at nats. Running spacers?

[AtlasMk2]

I only managed a 1.18 best on the day which I was disappointed with as ive done a 1.17 in my stock peugeot 306 gti 6 however previous owner Andrew managed a 1.12 last year.
Yeah car is running spacers on front only with longer wheel nuts though im going to run wheel studs and have the setup looked at when I get a chance.

A Mk3 running a V6 turbo 4x4 drivetrain at Santa Pod's VW Action UK event, last weekend.

Genuinely brutal and amongst a group of other Europeans that came over with some really serious Mk1 / Mk2 machinery. A lot of them were running SQS flat shifters.

More event action in this account - watching them slew up the strip from some camera angles is eye watering:
