yeah could have been very serious or fatal

inside sidewall of the drivers reartyre had blebed about halfway round the rim causing a wild vibration that shook loose the 4 stubaxle bolts from the axle itsself ....................

fixed now and doctored the rear arches too no more catchy catchy

Is that why my bid was cancelled on one of your ebay auctions?

 

[toledovr6]

abf race engine by chance? if so its cos dan has sold it on e38

 

[F2 Stu]

Nope - not powerful enough

twas for a pair of 288 mk3 golf calipers

 

[toledovr6]

lol, fair enough, cancelled the bid as refuse to sell a set for a tenner, besides going on mk2 track car as its already got the disks to go with em

 

[toledovr6]

well the update is im taking the 1.8t kit out instead, save the rest of the car for the new lump when i get my hands on it 3.2 24v r32

 

[toledovr6]

well its official, stripped and crushed now, engine and suspension gone, the rest on evil bay..............sick as fook tbh but hey thats life

 

[foxdie]

Hi mate, sorry to hear about your Tolly, just got one myself, Mk1 2.0 16V GTi in navy blue, and as a fan of sleepers your escapades have given me something to think about

Did you ever get the car dyno'ed before it went belly up? Also, how much did you throw at it? I'm weighing up whether to do something to my Mk1 or just sell it and get something like a Mitsi Galant VR-4 (which is my dream car, but at this point, the Mk1 Tolly is a very close second, its such a fun drive!)

 

[toledovr6]

all in all it probs cost me 5k but i did so many things that really did nt need doing ie all the powder coating, still that does include the cost of the 2.9 vr6 and various sets of wheels etc..............it really depends on how far you want to go

 

[woodlehouse]

This car has been stripped & scrapped now

on hte bright side all the goodies are been transfered into a late n reg corrado &big power to come
