Thought I'd stick a couple of pictures up of my latest build, should be done for when my broken elbow mends, hopefully in time for a rip around the MK track. Can't wait to get out there on a track, it's been 15 or so years!
Comments welcome :)

so far so good ! :daumenhoch:

3 piece crank should be arriving tomorrow, I'll then mirror polish it. Also waiting on renthal layback seat post, brakes, and seat clamp. I have all the rest of the stuff I need. I've also got soem tioga comp 3's to go on there as well as a NOS Mongoose padset.
That's as far as I got tonight with a broken elbow before I got called in for me tea.
Once it's built I'll ride it until winter, then strip it for a re-chrome and some new decals.

that don't seem a very fair exchange :(
bet that VR was fun to drive as well ;)
like a VR myself but have got the 8valve GTi for now

The VR was a beast! It started out life as an 8 valve GTi I then swapped the running gear over for VR6 stuff out of a 55k mile VR6 highline. I sourced the Vortech supercharger from the states along with the fitting kit, fitted a dastek piggy-back for the ECU and had it re-mapped to suit. It was putting out around 270 bhp which is more than enough in a FWD car!

270 Gee gee's :shocked:
mmmm
-
Yup!
1st gear was a write off, 2nd just span up too if you were too heavy footed and 3rd was just brutal!
My mate has a VR with a similar spec and he's just fitted a Quaife 6 speed box and limited slip diff, makes a massive difference on getting the power down.
If you ever get a VR, budget another £2k for a 'charger it's the best 2-large you'll ever spend! :D
