Getting Mk3 under 1000 should be very easy.

Yeh I don't think we will have any trouble with that!

Have a look at any of the UK and european forums all the quick MkIII track cars still have heater and PS.

By the way Woody, all the quick MKIII track cars aren't VR6 lol. Once you take the powersteering and a/c off the VR6, they basically have the same weight over the front wheels as a 2.0

Zale was telling me about this on facebook, sounds like a great project, keen to see how it turns out! Good luck guys!

[trickysimon]

Well had a pretty productive weekend. Managed to pull the engine and both subframes out of the donor car.
Will be fitted to the race car as soon as a suspension refresh kit is fitted. Will also be ordering some new engine mounts this week.
Also found some old seats of my brothers in the back shed, which should be perfect for this project.
Here are some pictures in no particular order

Mk3 racer

MAKE SURE YOU USE A EXTERNAL OIL COOLER !!
Ask K1llZ how he ran his, an if he did any oil sluching prevention.
An ask him what kind of exhaust system he ran, reckon a 2.5" straight through with 2or3 boxes would do + a new cat

I remember the last person to put a high flow cat on a vr had lots of problems (mickey's old vr), standards good enough I think, ask K1llZ

[Jarred]

if it's a race car, i doubt they'll have cats, or mufflers! lol

3" side exit. With 2" downpipes!

3" side exit. With 2" downpipes!

[trickysimon]

We are thinking 3" exhaust with only a free flowing centre resonator. Would love to do side exit later on, but would involve cutting the floor pan.
Lol at having cat's on a race car.
I know people are going to say 3" is going to be too big for a stock engine, but we don't plan to keep it stock forever
