VIC newbie

[nathe]

hey guys!

new here but not new to cars

names nathan, im a 20 yo studying mechanical engineering at swinburne.

im a big fan of classic dubs, like mk1's and the old aircooled moddels. i've already been lurking abit and i love the rat/retro mk1 thread

i have plans of building a racespec mk1 contemplating a mid engine rwd conversion! but im still deciding on the engine i should use....hopefully in a month or 2 i can buy a chassis and start...though knowing my student wages it'll be a long term project i hope i can learn more about it around here

my current ride though is a 98' ek civic, its a bit of a rat, but i like it that way

Hi Nathan!

Welcome!

I'm studying mech eng at swinny too.

If you've seen low 4 door with nice wheels in white around swinburne, it was probably me!

a mk1 would make a great base for a bit of a race/track car. but if you want to go RWD, I hope you're a really good fab/welder! hahah.

enjoy!

i think i've seen it loud zorst??

it's still all pretty much up in the air atm, i need to get a chassis and prep it first. rwd conversion is a dream, i might just end up with a basic ff setup.
