Man, that's a lot of pics - you should split them into their respective sections so it's easier to follow, ie engine stuff, bodywork etc.

Not keen on that double spoiler thing you've got going but kudos for getting in amongst it

good going mate.Think that spoiler looks mad
Some good pics..

That spoiler took me an hour to get off the car at the scrapyard lol i had to break into the car without damaging it, the take all the pannels off the boot lid to get the boot open then take it off boot lol

Thats a lot of effort, fair play to you.

Cheers lol its taken a while lol cost me a fair bit lol too

I bet lol

Without the nos,what do ya reckon its runnin?

about 190ish bhp until its properly mapped, maybe less maybe more but will 90% sure its running over 200bhp when mapped.

Its not been a easy ride but i think it will be worth it...

A tad opptomistic I think, all you'v really got there are some reprofiled cams and a bit of port work I would expect that lot to bring you to about 165, I think the dastek might give you another 20bhp. look forward to seeing the result

yer snap on awaiting on the end results

Just a few more pics of progress been a busy day lol had my little girl and the fiancee helping me mask up too lol

Wanted to take rear light out but left all my tools at the fiancees house so was buggered

Was going to do the entire side but didnt have the time, i wanted a bit of time with the daughter before she whent back to the ex....

haha i was liking the filter through the wing!!!
why did you get rid of it?!
cool project looking forward to seeing it finished!

looking good mate, any sort of eta on the car now? end of the year? or a bit sooner

Its Not How Fast You Drive Its How You Drive Fast

"haha i was liking the filter through the wing!!!"
Copying me there Mick
[/IMG]

Wont a filter through the wing suck air from the engine bay rather then firce cold air in?

Impressive devotion to the cause there mate. You mention the spacers...what brakes you got going on?? I had C&B cams fitted with a Dastek and viper induction etc etc and best I got was 191bhp, but that was a few years ago now and the tuning shop always said there was a lot more potential in there (particualrly torque) but for the limitation they couldn't get past with the stock ECU.

I think mick did the wing thing a couple of years ago now??

Hi,

@ dave lol mate i dont know anymore lol ETA is whenever now as ive just got another house to move into soon and the baby is due any day now so car is yet again on the back burner lol...

@ collin & M G yeah i did the wing about 2 years ago now lol as a laugh lol i was going to supercharge it back then but never got round to it, the inspiration for the wing was my love of anything VW namely MK1 + MK2 golfs..

@ wimmy yeah mate gave no perrformance increases lol just scared people at the traffic lights when i blipped the throttle lol...

@ Nico Hey bud long time no speak, cheers i myself believe with the right mods the hgt can easily do 250bhp N/A but deffonatly at a cost lol, at theminute they are standerd sized Tarrox G88 discs all round with what were lol refurbed callipers, i the money for your brakes you had mate but i was told you had sold them and couldnt get in touch with you so i spent the money on a second Hgt for spares, hope they went to a good home anyways as i would have sold my grandma for those brakes lol, How is the mule now?

Also tbh it has got quite alot of engine mods so i hope fingures crossed it will reach the 200bhp mark when mapped lol but well see, if not there is no doubt it is still going to be a very very quick car with the new reconed box and lower final drive in, and still have that amasing engine note that iam yet to find on another car lol....

This and the fact ive always got my trusty WON kit to help out lol on the strip, i cant wait to see what it runs on nitrous lol, i think a brand new set of Pzeros is in order when the time comes...

Will keep you updated lol

Good Going mate

Look forward to seeing the finished project mate.
