Hi Paul, welcome to the site. There’s some ongoign discussions re awd mk1s so you should be in good company
You might see Aidan from Bahnstorm there – I think he said he’ll be testing the Audi. He’ll be in a dark blue RS4 *Saloon* with bahnstorm.net stickers on it, hopefully running some rapid quarters
if you are going and manage to catch any of his runs on video please let us know – I was supposed to go to video the test runs it but can’t make it
All done on the bracket front – and I’m pretty pleased with how solid it is.
Now just carrying on with prepping the motor and car for fitment. I think the engine bay is going to get a quick de-rust and some black gunk just to give it a bit of protection from the elements while I figure out the plan paint-wise.
Relatively soon it’ll be even more of a patchwork vehicle than currently – since it’s getting the red doors from Katy’s old 1.3 along with the leather door cards I got from chris a while ago.
interesting question though – are you? I thought fully comp covered you even if it was your fault – which I had assumed covered speeding just as it would being distracted or just doing something dumb at the critical moment…like people blatantly do.
Lots more pics today – got it all welded together properly. Had a few mares with clearances and nuts but all sorted now and looking very nice and solid.
Next weekend hopefully I’ll work on strengthening it further.
Hmm I’m sure I did an update since the last one shown here but there’s nothgin listed so I guess not…oh well..
Currently we’re in construction of the cross-beam whcih will allow the fitting of a KR motor straight into a syncro by making up for the missing bolt-hole.
The pics are all commented so I won’t repeat here but basically today I got to the stage of tack-welding it all together, hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to stick it together properly and add some additional bracing for good measure.
And what we’ve ended up with is something roughly like this:
sorry – I logged in and thought I was on the gti international/pvw forums for a moment… people going on about 350bhp through the front wheels etc
Isn’t this argument settled every time a syncro meets a gti?
/me clicks [more details]
I have the VW ones on my gti and they’re great as far as I can tell but not on the syncro..
hmm I noticed my search results varied depending on whcih machein I was using – I must have some filtering on or off or something.
I’ve had an idea which I think I should be able to implment *reasonably* easily which should make posting pics easier. The plan is to tweak the forums to make it so that members can upload photos to the “everything” photos section directly from the forums (e.g. during reply). I’m not sure of much more than that yet but it should be able to give you a url to copy/paste into your forum post. It may only get activated once members have two star or something to prevent spam.
