Re: my mk1.5 project

cool going man!
I need to put mine back together. Though it is going into a different chassis as my MK1.5 was seriously bent in the past. I am pretty certain I am going to use the old Krylon chassis. That only weighs in at 1600 pounds now without motor... so that should be pretty darn fast... hopefully...

I really like your mounts. I used MK2T mounts, but I think I am going to redo them, I don't like the way the engine moves around.

Looks good!

Re: my mk1.5 project

the car's stats are what a mk2's would be with a j-spec engine on stock boost, open intake, 2.5" freeflowing exhaust.

haven't taken it to the drags yet, but did pretty consistent ~4.5 second 0-60 runs. (+/- .3seconds)

so finally i have some reprieve from school, and can post more updates/pictures!

first off, it now has a hood vent (much better cooling, and a little bit more downforce)



from the bottom


hand through the front!


this was a one afternoon project, but didn't quite turn out how i wanted it, so i will be changing it, then repainting the hood and making a composite one off of the plug!
