  • MK1 Golf makes national motorsport magazine

    well the other thread is getting pretty long now so just a quick recap (and cheeky repost of mk1 rally car takes 2nd). Just picked up a copy of tarmac magazine and was blown away to see a report on Targa West and you guessed it my little mk1 makes an appearance. There were 100 cars entered and they ran 10 pictures, we bloody made one of them. Thats a huge acknowledgement. I think the attitude the golf displayed through out the event got it a lot of public and media fans as we mixed it with much more powerful cars and pushed it all the way. The constant mk1 flare of rear inside wheel in the air made for awesome photos. check it out guys, now to get some more golfs out and racing

                    Looking good Luke, did you win the fleabay auction for the header btw ??
                    Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...

                    If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

                    Cheers,
                    Grant...

                      just curious at what kind of power/weight do wheelspin and steering issues start to be a major presence?

                          no someone else beat me too it with like 30 sec to go but oh well. Dan, 250 should be ok through front wheels with a motorsport diff but it will be pushing it for torque steer but once i sort the clutch plates in the diff it should be sorted

                            what a cool pic! you should get onto the mag and ask if they'll send you a hi res version of the pic.

                            big congrats on your result too mate!! an awesome effort!

                              Congrats Luke

                              I watched the Targa West and saw your Golf and recorded some footage of it.
                              It flys thats for sure
