parts of the cage are bolt in because you cannot keep a fully caged car under normal WA road registration rules, full cage requires a change to B Registration which means i can only drive it to tracks or workshops so having the front bolted in allows me to remove the front hoop and still enjoy driving the golf on the road

these discs are custom black diamond numbers measuring 280mm and use a standard GTI calipe with and offset mount for this race only as the metalx pads will destroy these discs over the three days of tarmac rally, in the shed are a set of 288mm Cordoba discs with vr6 calipers which i will fit once the rally is over (cheers to twinengtwinturbos for those too)77 Golf tarmac rally

Thats it she's all complete and ready for battle in this years Targa West Tarmac rally (This coming weekend for those WA guys who want to come and watch!!!) Still has a few minor things to tidy up like roll cage padding etc and a damn good wash to remove the dust but it drives and man is it fun!!!!!!!!! I thought my 911 was an awesome drive but with this i just can't wipe the smile from my face as it spins in 2nd under accelaration.

The back
My solution to a rear disc conversion brake proportioning problem, stupid VW wants $350 for a scirroco unit but then states they are unavailable so a couple of willwood brake proportioning valves have been installed on the rear lines to allow custom adjustment of the rear bias and give a motorsport flavour to the car. Got these trade price from vpm motorsport $125 each, suck on that VW!!!!!!
The other side
all the crap to still clean out, wouldn't believe how much dust is still in the car grrrrrrrr
Side on shot, these rims are nice and phat, cheers Dom & Tim

Front on shot
Bottom strut brace and antisway bar installed
Completely new front and rear suspension components, everything was changed including the rack boots and bearings
The VOLKSEE
The 280mm brakes just bedded in on metalx pads by pagid. 24mm m/c gives a nice solid feel

last pics for now, more when i wash and polish it and then some photos in full attack. Will be racing in targa west (www.targawest.com.au) for those interested in having a look.
only 136km since the ground up rebuild, best 136km drive i think i have every done too in damp conditions, third gear full throttle still gets the tyres struggling for grip.
Interior looking in (have new black factory carpet to go in but can't see the point at this stage)
Cooling the brakes after setting the rear brake proportioning, these were nice and hot hehehehehehehe

There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it
