I think this could be a good buy if the price is right. Looks pretty good, has someone with plenty of experience behind it and seems to do the numbers. They don't have the name in performance road cars, but they are certainly going the right way about changing it. They have a decent chunk of...
Thanks for the info. I did think it was strange that people said it was only the 200 Cup that had swivel hubs but took it at face value.
My mate has said I can borrow his 197 for a few days so will see how I get on with it.
Interesting. Though if I made the change, it wouldn't stay civilised!
Which hubs did the R3 use? I was under the impression that the swivel hubs didn't appear on the MK3 until the 200 Cup chassis but was flicking through a 197 project thread recently and it looked like it had them?
It's a very...
Would love to see them some time, bet it sounded epic at full bore.
I agree, it's amazing what a laugh a near standard car can be. I know you've not done many miles yet, but how are you finding the change? My plan was to strip my Cup out and rally prep it but it's getting a bit tired. A mate of...
Wow, that was a year ago?! Time flies!
Did you ever get any videos of you giving it the big 'un? It sounded amazing at the start of that video. That was quite an engine.

Seeing my mate in his 1.7 Puma harassing cars with more than twice the power is hilarious. Nothing wrong with low-powered track cars. Good way to learn how to drive.
Interesting to hear you say that too. The Golf is an absolute weapon for a production car but, in terms if driving engagement, I'm with you, it leaves a lot to be desired. Could say that about most modern cars though I guess.
All steps in the right direction though bud. If you're making proactive steps then you're on the way. I've sent a couple of applications out recently, for things I never thought I would get in a million years, and have been offered an interview for one, so you never know what's around the...
