pfennell 0 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thought i would start my build thread as ive got a bit of time.. right here we go, i brought the car in nov 2006 as a 1800 8v pretty much standard.after i scrapped my vento biggest mistake i made! after around 2 months of driving the 4 pot i decided to go for a vr6 swap and take it on myself, never done anything like this before only on scooters, how hard could it be? after finding all the parts needed all in for 2000 euro's. i thought living in germany it would be easy and cheap to get parts, think again. being in the army spare time is a luxury, in the time i started until now ive been away around 2 years on and off. i think this has been the slowest project known to man but its getting there. with a build taking so long the vw scene changes so so much so i was trying to keep up with it as much as possible but it seemed like i was getting nowhere so i decided to try sommat different and individual after a trip to the nurburgring and with F/I on my mind a track weapon was to be!!!

bungy 2 Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 If you are staying with the stripped out interior are you going to take the weight saving any further? Link to post Share on other sites
pfennell 0 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 not really too much more.just poly windows but putting in a cage so ill shed the weight but gain it on the cage...keeping the carpets and cards for now just alittle comfort on the journeys to the ring..

bungy 2 Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 There is quite a lot of weight under the carpets. There are sandbags either side in the front under the carpets and the dyna matting is a pig to remove but weighs a ton. Stig got some carbon fibre door cards made up for Betty.
