Silver! Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Either the Arosa driver has the reaction time of the dead or the G60 just spanked him hard!Lot of wheelspin sound there and, from the smoke, I'd say it was coming from the Arosa.Always gonna be the hardest part, putting so much power down through a light car.I remember reading about stupidly modded Novas, many moons ago. On paper they were really quick, but the most powerful just went of the start line sideways!A 1.8 MK2 Astra GTE conversion won the day. Power to weight ratio is important.Craig: are you upgrading the the steering at all?Looking good anyhow, can't wait to see it finished, so hurry up!R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 stearing is staying as is , but with much better rubber than whats on just now im just double checking with the insurers before i buy an engine that they are deffo going to cover me for certain engine blocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Just wondered. The difference between my Arosa and the GTi is mega.I don't know if there is any difference between the steering racks, but I wouldn't like to put 125bhp through the Arosa as is, let alone 225bhp!Maybe it's all in the weight.I'd hate to go back to 155/70 tyres on the Arosa now.Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 got to remember as well ray , your GTi is on coilovers and the arosa isnt , i found the stearing felt completely different in mine once on coilovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 im aiming for 225/230bhp which means an estimated power to weight ration ( assuming 900kg total weight ) of what 255/260bhp per ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 the VW garage up here are a bunch of nuggets , i ask them for a pedal box from a lupo GTi then they ask me is that the 1.4 lupo , then i say no its a 1.6 125BHP engine thats in it . then they refuse to get me the parts as they are not going on to a lupo GTi and say well if i give them the reg plate of a GTi they could try and find the part number . i dont have a GTi so they wouldnt help me , so i look out the window and spot a GTi , go out , get the reg plate and come back in and give them it . they p*ss off for 5 mins and come back and say there on back order and dont know when they will get one!!!

ARGH!!!did you check part numbers with the one that is already fitted as i cant see vw making 3 diffrent pedal boxes for the same car when you can still use a gti box on a 1 litre so i think they will turn out to be the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
