End of the TT

[Joe@ShedMotorsport]

as per the 172/182/megane RS

I wasn't sure if Renaults used them, but it seems like the ideal solution to me so long as you have somewhere to bolt the bearing housing on the block.

put it in a black cab

how is that not a great idea!

yeah, seems like the sensible idea, i'm surprised the VW engine doesn't have one (the megane RS engine thats going in my clio has one)

Matt should be able to fab something up

Gotta be a Lupo or Polo, kept uber-stealth.

 

[Smokey McPot]

On the Lupo GTI i used to have the longer driveshaft was a lot thicker than the short one. Not much in the way of torque steer but it didn't have a huge amount of grunt to be fair.

 

[MATT BLACK]

Thanks for the suggestions lads - keep em coming. My brain is on overdrive now and im coming up with ideas.

 

[Phill1978]

still think a stripped and lowered Renault people carrier like an espace would be a good idea enigne could go in back or front i imagine or have two engines both with 400bhp muhaha

 

[Djw John]

Old Seat Cordoba 4 door saloon would be a laugh!

A Tesco shopping trolley... you might have to get round the problem with the wheels locking when you take it outside the car park though!

VW caddy van?? You can have all the space you want in the back, nobody would suspect a thing!! And surely it can't weigh more than a golf?

vw colorado.... bitchin car..!

 

[Mondial172]

A mk2 Golf GTi can be too heavy?

 

[MATT BLACK]

vw colorado.... b*tchin car..!

Colorado ?? isnt that a state in the US

 

[Maxx]

Put it in the back of a Valver - you know it makes sense

 

[manicmonkey]

toyota hi-lux

 

[Fred@BTM]

camper van, now that would be good

 

[Jones]

Fiat 125 Biz

How about a seat ibiza mk1, its a very rare car these days, but its based on the mk1 golf, so should be cheap and easy to mod.

the mk1 ibiza is based on a fiat panda, as this was before seat was owned by VAG, the mk2 ibiza was based on the mk2 golf.

 

[Nightfire]

How about this? http://www.stupidcollege.com/items/Drag-Racing-Bus lol

 

[tibby]

beetle, camper or old caddy

Good call! i just assumed cos they looked so similar

lancia delta?

or...... a stretch limo

doubt anyone has done a limo, plus theres room for a few extra engines

ud struggle to make a faster delta than the rallying ones.
limos were done on viva la bam on mtv.

i have never driven your car but i wonder if sticking a 400bhp engine in a sub 1000kg car is safe at all anyway!
so whats wrong with a little extra danger?
dont think we would have seen thrust going 700mph if they were quitting when it got dangerous!


fair play to u though, was a mental car, it should be mounted next to the toyota pick up at topgear!

as a famous man once said "its better to burn out than fade away" i think you know who i mean matt!

 

[Jonaldinho]

Missed the damn thing at FCS!

Was a superb project though! :approve:

 

[mrpink]

what about dropping the lump into a Fiat x1/9?

 

[jonesyx]

A Tesco shopping trolley... you might have to get round the problem with the wheels locking when you take it outside the car park though!

not a problem, ive got a key for those sitting here, fiver and its yours

 

[dalla]

Do one like this... This one has a VW G60 engine, guess that a 1.8T would fit..
Apperently it has 250 hp, and does 0-200 km/h in 8,5 secs.....

 

[manicmonkey]

thats pretty f**king cool

 

[dalla]

Yeah, but i don't think it would be anymore safe though...

 

[Nightfire]

wtf is that? Looks like a toy car lol

 

[lawrence]

daewoo matiz???

lada samara

cinquecento(sp)

or scrap the whole engine and transplant an evo6 lump into a proton satria or mitsi colt?

 

[MATT BLACK]

Somebody burn this thread

 

[manicmonkey]

Yeah, but i don't think it would be anymore safe though...

yeah, i dont think id feel safe going over 50 in a noddy's plastic car

but it does bring a large smile to my face! lol

 

[Ads_172]

So any ideas what's next Matt? I'd seriously recommend trying to keep with the Clio but maybe looking into some way of making it RWD or 4WD, but it's whether this solves the safety issue.

 

[MATT BLACK]

Decided on a seat Ibiza GTi

 

[Leeshez]

That red carlooks

 

[theduck]

superb decision matt
