Oh bugger.... I'm sure you'll be able to engineer something from your garage of goodies

Just been to the biggest VW show in the UK.

Thought you might like the look of this double cab.

Thanks Rob - looks good - thats an Angry Grill!

Anyway - had a run up to Toowoomba in it today, nice to cruise in, pulled 5th gear on cruise control at 90kmph, all the way up the range - so I'm rapt with the torque

Just got back from my first weekend away - 1/2 loaded & a mix of highway / city / offroading & I returned 9.75 l / 100.

Car has done just over 1000kw's now

Not as fast as you might expect, getting all 5 (highly modified) motors to pull together in synch is more difficult than you might think

Here's the VWMA T5 and race car. I'm still thinking about a few more kws Guy.....

When I spotted this I thought Guy had already converted his T5 DOKA to a mid mounted V10Tdi from the R50 Touareg and......


...that's not a bad idea. Hmmm.

[Guy_H]

km's although 1000kw's sounds tempting, I don't think I could find a tyre that has a "Y" Speed rating and a "690kg" load rating.

Craig, I shouldn't have had a close look at your truck at Valla, now see what I have done!

Now a V10 touareg conversion has already been discussed over a few beers.....

[Lams]

we got differnet ideas...





Hey Guy I think I found your canopy, from the Hungarian bomb squad

[Jmac]

Great Van man, great thing is you make this into a mad thing with great torque and its a workhorse!!!. Then when you chose its a family offroader.
Awesome

[GoLfMan]

sounds awesome about the fuel economy and performance Guy!

i just dont know why VW doesnt put in their V6 TDI or V10TDI into their commercials and have a serious performer

now dump that shiz on its bum does anyone do coilovers for them?

Mate, I'd like to have V6 tdi in may T5, but market dictates what is going in the production and unless VW marketing department is sure that enough customers would buy van with hi-performance engine it's not going to happen.

Just imagine Crafter with V10 and 4Motion

I know its not quite what you want but how about the sportline?

They sell them by the bucket full in Europe.

I do. Neither will fit. At least not where the engine sits now.

My thought re the V10 in the DOKA was to fit the engine in the middle of the chassis behind the cab (possibly partially tucked under the rear seat depending on chassis balance). Problem with that is that is the front transaxle setup of the V10. So I can't quite figure out how AWD would be managed......but you could easily sort RWD....but then 750nM through the rear wheels only in a front heavy vehicle could be a little....frightening.
