I am swapping onto full S2 running gear over winter. I want to use it a bit at the end of this year so need to think what to do. If it didn't have the line on there you would never know! I wouldn't want one to break it could do a bit of damage flailing around!

Still amazed every time i look at this thread. Well done bending the drive shafts!!haha Will you replace them or wait and see if they twist more with 4WD?

[G60Rallye]

Its a bit false really. Had to run the car rear wheel drive again becuase the wheel base is too short for the rollers to close up enough. So they have had all 700bhp through them!

[SteveH]

Wow, time to get some stronger shafts!! Or would you rather break a shaft than something else??

Hehe good work Hamish

Amazing build, such great attention to detail. I saw this car at gti international and have been trying to track it down.

Iam currently building an m3 as a track/show car similar to yours, the shell has been fabricated, and painted however the paint Job is terrible, cage is covered in runs and there is dirt in the paint inside So Iam going to have to get it redone.

So basically I was just wondering who painted yours as it looked amazing when I saw it, and clearly whoever painted it knows how to paint a car with a cage in.

Glad you like the build! There are runs in my paint, cages are a ****** to paint. The fella doing mine hated it and said he didn't want to do another cage!

Was back on the dyno again today at TEG Sport in Carnforth to finish off the mapping. We had a few issues with the dyno which meant no print out. Working out the injector duty cycle its making 700bhp at 2.2 bar boost on VP import race fuel. Big thanks to Dave Rowe for all the mapping and twisting both rear shafts through 90 degrees!

The speedhunter photos look amazing, this car really is a work of art!

I run out of words every time I look at this thread.... Just Stunning...

I am not a fabricator no. I will get some videos of the dyno dont worry!

The tilton pedal box is excellent. It has an edjustable pedal ratio which means it isn't rock hard to push unlike the compbrake one. I am running .625 on the front and .7 on the rear for master cylinders.

Hope that helps?

Thanks for the reply, that certainly helps. I plumped for 17.8mm (0.7") front & 20.6mm (0.81") rear so not to dissimilar, although caliper piston sizes obviously matter, shouldn't be too far off for a starting point. Considering your not a fabricator you have some awesome TIG ability there mate, well played

Speedhunter images aren't bad either

Once again, cracking effort and what a result

Fab work looks very nice & neat, are you a fabricator by trade? Car looks & sounds amazing fella, you've done an amazing job. Looking forward to the power runs on the dyno, please take some video

One question, how are you finding the Tilton pedal box without servo assistance? I would be very interested in knowing which master cylinders you have compared to the total piston area of your front & rear calipers if its not too much to ask, I have the same one for my A4 quattro sport and haven't got round to plumbing it in yet.

A couple of pictures have poped up on the speedhunters website from Prescott.

the car sounds strong and aggressive. very nice!

The manifold and downpipe have been modified to get the bigger wastegate on to keep the boost in check.











I had the car down at the Retro Rides Gathering at Prescott over the weekend. Got 7 runs up the hill. The car ran without any issues which was great. It seemed to handle ok but I wasn't pushing that hard.

2.40 into this video is the first run. First time I had ever given it some proper stick:

The car is hopefully back on the dyno very soon to make some proper power!
