That's... hysterical. Sounds like a bus, blows smoke like the busses around here but... Yikes that thing winds on speed at a rapid rate! It must be a bit worrying to look at the speedo and see it pointing to the number on the odometer, which is getting bigger images/smilies/tongue.gif

With the "All out" thing, I was trying to say you seem to take fairly ordinary looking cars and then really push the bondaries of what's sensible and possible... It's wonderful!

Too bad it's a diesely-weasily images/smilies/tongue.gif

Wouldnt mind that bus sounding engine in my car... images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Actually this car beat my friends e30 M3 racecar with e36 M3 engine (~300 hp now), it was quite shocking images/smilies/blink.gif

And yes, I like original looking cars, but with nice technologi inside images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Haha, yeah to many people hate diesels images/smilies/smile.gif

But its a daily driver, so it needs to run cheap, now that a travel atleast 120 km a day, or when I go to work after school it can be 200 km a day images/smilies/sad.gif

Think it's like 18-20 km/l

Actually been looking to buy this http://bilbasen.dk/Cars/UsedCars/Sho...=2&AdId=168995 as a project car, looks a lot like the OPs :p

mancs · October 6th, 2007, 01:32 PM

I get around 7-8liter/100km now because my tranny is very short, and on the highway Im pushing it to go fast images/smilies/sad.gif

The top speed is 170 with this, but it would go easily 200+ with a better tranny. The legal limit is 130 and I usualy go 140-150. So its pushed hard images/smilies/sad.gif

When I wasnt using it on the highway, only in the city, it was round 6.5/100.

Hey Lillput, it looks nice!

'CruiserMan · October 6th, 2007, 01:40 PM

Gah, when you Europeans buy a cheap, old car you get a small, efficient hatchback that's sensible AND easily made into something loutish... We just get huge lumps of rather crudely made steel with huge, fuel devouring engines, crap tires and crude suspension/drivetrains. All the loutish stuff is fun, until it's raining and you have bald tires....

Ugh, for me who is used to the immovable object, it's a bit much as yet images/smilies/tongue.gif

Hey Lillput, it looks nice!

i was asking for the 1.9 PDTDI, with over 200bhp
my guess would be around 15l/100km?

mancs · October 7th, 2007, 08:52 PM

^ Nah not that much. My friend had a really powerfull 1.9 TDI with around 140-150 hp and 300-350 NM, and it was never above 7-8/100km.

mancs · October 9th, 2007, 04:55 PM

Okay, so I got my brakepadstoday,

Ferrodo Racing DS 2500:

http://www.helix13.com/images/ferodo.jpg

And ordered my Brembo vented discs. Hope they come tomorrow, and I can install them @ the weekend, cos next week thursday there is going to be a track event on the Hungaroring, and I got my slicks, but they are worthless without good, not fading brakes images/smilies/wink.gif

Oh, and to bad for my crappy MK3 seats... Im going to fall out of it images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

But couldnt get my hands yet on Edition One seats:

http://i10.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/b9/b0/a509_1.JPG

These seats are my favorite, but its very rare in hungary, and on ebay they are going for like 300-500 euros images/smilies/blink.gif

SO they are stupidly expensive.

And so for my suspension setup:
Already got my hands on a Polyurethane Total Kit from USA (dirt cheap, now that the dollar is low), its already sitting in my room images/smilies/wink.gif

pic from ebay:

http://i16.ebayimg.com/05/i/06/c0/72/9e_12.JPG

My lowering springs are 60/40 H&R witch are in the car, and I'm going to stick with 'em, cos they are the right hight for me. Going to take out the shockabsorbers, and take it to a shop, where they are going to stiffen it up images/smilies/vampire.gif

Well these are my plans for now. Lets hope the best images/smilies/wink.gif

No Boss · October 11th, 2007, 11:18 PM

That dash flock looks awesome. I've never seen that before

mancs · October 12th, 2007, 07:12 PM

Its kindof "new" technique. 4-5 years old maybe?

EDIT: or maybe 5-10 dunno images/smilies/smile.gif

Hmm, I'm surprised I've never seen it before. When I had my GTI, I was on vwvortex at least four or five times a day. Although, I guess I never did go into the mkI and mkII forums all that much.

mancs · April 9th, 2008, 08:01 PM

Well some update.. images/smilies/smile.gif

So I stripped out the car, fixed all the rusty points, bought some xtras like Recaro-s, new headlights, Air Conditioner, soundproofing, hardened shocks, little fridge in the trunk images/smilies/tongue.gif

Etc Sooo its gonna be cool I think so images/smilies/wink.gif

Pics later

mancs · April 9th, 2008, 08:20 PM

Oh yeah, and Upgraded the engine to a 1.9 TDI images/smilies/smile.gif

Soon to be tuned, now its running without turbo. Its not to fast, but i get 4l/100 km, so its nice images/smilies/smile.gif

Later I'm going to run on a gt20 with ~140 hp ~300 nm, long 5 speed transmission or maybe 6 speed. 5 speed ratios alow me 220km/h at 4500 rpm the 6speed would alow more... images/smilies/smile.gif

But I'm not going for top speed, but higher cruising speed. With this tranny 130 km/h is around 3400 rpm... Witch sucks. SO thats it for now

mancs · November 6th, 2008, 01:44 PM

Soo the car has been in part for 6 months now... images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Fixed up the chassis, the suspension, the engine is going to get its turbo back, the whole car is made very quiet, I used 1 roll of bquiete, and another cheep stuff, bought mk2 recaro electric front seats, electric mirrors, corrado rear bench, mk3 american center console, etc. So its going to be finished in a few weeks I hope images/smilies/smile.gif
