1 Litre Screamer Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Thanks chaps, i have just read the replies to petrified on the 38 site, what a bunch of *******!! i would be suprised if half of them knew anything about corner weight scales and cross weight, they seem to be of the opinion that theirs is best and everyone else is a distant second. If half of them cleaned the rust formt their old motors they would be lighter! Enough ranting now, back to work and i am really going to get more wieght off just to show how light cars actually can be made. i'll show 'em. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />Its coming along well now mate style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> well done and the cars looking well nice and i too thought it was the one in the PVW track sesion reports but the 1.8 bit gave it away when looking at the timesany more news on the engine install/mountings?good luckwaynethe engine is still a big blob on a piece of paper at the moment, i'm torn as to which way to go. i'll let you know as soon as i do!

1 Litre Screamer Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 after having a play on the arosa shell, and seeing just how thin the sheet metal is used to make it i wont be suprized if it does weigh fekall. would it be worthwhile changing to gti doors and bonnet ?i have though about that, but i'm going to be cutting the whole internal skin off of the doors so they will be light anyway, a carbon bonnet will be along soon hopefully and depending on time and how heavy the front wings are i may have a go at making them in carbon too.dude back me up style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> http://www.edition38.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=40021and sorry used your pics on another forum style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />I have tried to back you up! using the pics isnt a problem. nice to see it on other sites!

Yoof Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Ps, who is the cucking funt with the Bora? He just seems to hate people with LuposA very good friend of mine and brain child of quite a few vw creations. A certain yellow derby with a 2.0litre 16v in the back.Personally i'd trust john's knowladge over 99.99% of other peoples, but i'm biased and not looking for an argument.
