mk1 1.1 formel E to 20valve turbo project thread

[minimat]

Wasnt on this forum, mainly mk1 golf forum and a local one. You could have used the 1.1 mount, but with over 250 bhp being long term plan it really didn't seam like a worthy risk.

I've got some 15 inch deep dish 5 spokes on it at minute, but when I offered the disk up it pretty much filled the wheel , so il have to see what calliper clearance is like

It'll be tight, I'm running G60 calipers but with mk2 16v discs and pads.  If I wanted to fit my 15" RA's over 280mm discs I'd either have to run with 16v pads or space the wheels by at least 3mm. Then you also have to think about wheel weights.

from what i can figure out these are scirocco calipers with braided hoses, adapter brackets and 280mm g60 discs, there big anyways

Pop can clearance is alright, however is the car still at standard height at the mo?

[minimat]

It's about 30mm drop on springs, as soon as funds permit it will be going on coilovers

i reckon i could JUST about get my key under mine ( key on its side )  .. shallow sumpo needed aha..

PICTURES  its good to see it in, now for the fun part

Yeah mine wasnt "scene" low anyway, still got battery radiator water wiring etc to go in so it's probably gonna go down some more yet.

There on with it as we speak, but I'm stuck for some 100mm drive cups for a 02j box
