JonS Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Nice one Phil! Must be an absolute buzz to drive it having spent so long on it! Congrats mate!
MilesH Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Many congratulations!! Really hope you can make it on the 6th August, I've just checked LOT and there are still 6 spaces left
Phil.S Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 Cheers guys! Few minor jobs left the biggest being fitting an oil cooler (i've been advised I need it for track use) so fingers crossed I'll be sorted for the 6th

MilesH Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Aww man. I just aint confident enough to book it yet.... Dont wanna lose the cash if I'm not ready LOT are really good like that, if it gets closer to the time and you don't think you'll make it Paul will let you swap the day for another later in the year
S1 Steve Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Sold out now mate, but you can come along too show it off.
Phil.S Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 Bugger. Oh well I've got the afternoon off so may as well just come up and maybe some generous folks may give me a few pax rides
S1 Steve Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Bugger. Oh well I've got the afternoon off so may as well just come up and maybe some generous folks may give me a few pax rides Always welcome here mate. look forward to seeing the conversion.
Phil.S Posted July 21, 2008 Author Posted July 21, 2008 Had a play on the weekend. With my mate on the stopwatch 0-60 was about 4.8 but I reckon its nearer 4.5 to be honest as I was a bit slow off the mark. Thats on standard boost aswell. Still another 6psi to dail in when I'm feeling brave Its ace... Was going to get some vids but then realised they would get me in trouble.....
dss123 Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Strictly speaking, if you were on a decent (straight) country lane. You could acceleate as fast as you like to 60 and wouldn't be breaking the law. Providing you could get the anchors on when you reached 60! Dunc
LivinLaVidaLotus Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Question is, how much do you hate your clutch? Never fancied finding out just how brutal you can be with mine, I don't fancy the bill (or the smell, lol) Cracking job on the conversion though, been following this from the start.
SeanB Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Awesome project, well done!!!!!!!!!!! Would like to have a gander at it myself sometime. You do have to love turbo's, my Audi is ace. Plus on the wishbone front, I had to move the cross brace on mine for clearence issues and I simply chopped out the original and welded it back in about three inches further out and I have had no problems with anything flexing or bending or breaking or anything and I would say that I am pretty hard on my car, it pretty much only does track miles and it has done all of this season in the LOT races.
mr_lee Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Awesome project, well done!!!!!!!!!!! Would like to have a gander at it myself sometime. You do have to love turbo's, my Audi is ace. If it makes you scream on acceleration like yours Sean then he will have many hours of 'bum hole twitching' fun . Ive been following your thread too Phil and you have my thumbs up for your effort, perseverance and just hard work.
