This is going to wreak of insanity and awesome.

Keep up the good work! I love seeing cars that are crafted and hand-built.

Interesting. Is that a bolt in or do you have to rebracket?

Looks good but what rear end are you planning on running?

im going to put in a 740 axle, its 10 cm wider then the stock 240.. and i have the LSD from a 245 that im going to use. But ill buy a 120nm r-sport kit and do a complete overhaul..

You should get some wider spacers


Just kidding.

Hehe, cant agree on everything! i want big radius tires, the main reson beeing extra grip! 900+ nm needs tire surface.. And im not so fond of the huge gap someone have from the arch to the tire.

due to my sukiness in english, ill add a before and after pic! hard to explane what i did on the rear fenders..

before i swaped wheel arch, but the rear fender has been lowerd


Golf mk 1 wheel arch, raised 5 cm and has a bigger radius!



The red arrow is pointing at the part of the fender that is extended 5 cm down! (black part)

Oh nice I take my old comment back. haha I thought you ment you brought the fender arch down but now I see you raised the arch and lowered the bottom of the rear fender. Awesome!

[xispaki]

what a beast :O

Correction: Veyron's rear tires are 365 mm wide.

[DannyE32]

wicked!

please hurry up. I cant wait any more lol

[G535]

700 to 750 ish and around 900-950 nm (650-700 ft.lb)

WOW! This is gonna make Porsches and M5s look like a '83 Golf CL hahah!
