The plan is on saturday F2 stu will be fitting the Recaro, then i will drive it to a secret location were it will have a new gear box fitted, then its save some money for a roll cage and some decent harnesses and a passenger seat. I will then use it as a derv burner until it pops or a nice engine comes along.

just need to decide on some graphics for it so it looks the part on track, so if your a mac daddy and fancy knocking something up please feel free

I once scribbled some vinyls for the Arosa, this was one of them (not the one I liked best, I'm keeping that one in case I ever do decide to fit them )

(ignore the 'Demon' thing - it was sponsership for a uni society that could have paid to have them fitted)

 

[ArosaRacer]

thinking more Herbie !!

 

[lunalupi]

Hehe Put up a couple of decent pics then, lets see what we can come up with

Gaz, i have been in talks with allards about a derv conversion when i have paid for this one in full but they advised me its cheaper to do it if the car is a derv to begin with, which yours in and mine isnt imagine a 1.9 tdi lump in running 225 bhp????

 

[ArosaRacer]

it would be crazy ! how much ?

I can't see that it'll be much cheaper

everything under the bonnet (virtually) gets junked - and extensive chassis mods to get the 1.9 to mount. - rewired to suit the 1.9PD, either way - then the only thing you'd not have to change is the fuel pump arrangement

Its pretty rough but, thought about the journey your car has been on. Back from the brink of dead and camoflaged as something else. I like to call this 'conceptual OctoRosa' !! Its good to see it being revived

dunno matey, i said id offer them £5k to do it, but id estimate it to be a tad more personally, as id need suspension, brakes, clutch, ATB diff etc etc

If you seriously want it mate, www.allardmotorcompany.co.uk email them ftao of lloyd or alan and im sure you will get a responce.

 

[ArosaRacer]

maybe a turbo added to the sdi block may be just as fun

 

[ArosaRacer]

nick i like that but im thinking race graphics
