Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - MY95 - 29-12-2014
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=221646197240
Two rear brake calipers on each side!
Would have cost a fortune but I bet is got a really good handbrake!
Amazing what you can do with cars if you have the money!
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - Seb_Ryan - 29-12-2014
Wouldnt cost that much tbh, i bet the standard caliper is totaly standard and the 2nd one is JUST for the hydraulic handbrake.. 2 calipers, mounting bits, 3 bits of pipe, and handbrake with master cylinder and job done..
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - bigcheez2k3 - 29-12-2014
Could be attached to where the guards normally bolt in?
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - Eeyore - 29-12-2014
Dont think it would take much to make it work but yeh. Interesting idea!
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - allanallen - 29-12-2014
Very common mod done on rally cars of all Marques. Old fashioned, heavy and unnecessary IMO.

This. If you really want a hydraulic handbrake, why not just fit one good calliper (so not a 306 one) and use that?!
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - welshpug - 29-12-2014
306 caliper works fine, you just need a properly designed lever and appropriate master cylinder, rare that any of the off tge shelf things work well at all.
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - procta - 29-12-2014
that's what you call a hard core 306!
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - welshpug - 29-12-2014
pretty basic tbh, far better out there but they'll be more than 5k.
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - Piggy - 29-12-2014
Yeah lots a bit amiss imo...
All that and its on speedlines?!
Very basic bolt in cage.
Bonnet scoop?!?!?

RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - welshpug - 29-12-2014
its not even 200 bhp, thats quite basic.
also hasnt got decent dampers so they wont last long before needing a service or upgrade

185 BHP at the wheels so will be over 200bhp at the flywheel. He says the front Dampers are Avo Monotube. Perhaps not the best but they are still £1000 worth of kit.
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - Daniel306 - 29-12-2014
Speedlines are good wheel for rallying, there strong, cheep and easily available, iv got 5 sets of them.
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - welshpug - 29-12-2014
its a standard engine, wont be over 200.
doesn't matter what the avos cost, they wont last.

Engine
Engine has just been fully rebuilt approx 100 miles ago the engine block is standard and has had new piston rings and all new shells fitted and ARP bolts new oil pump, gaskets etc. Pushing around 185BHP at the wheels
The cylinder head has been ported, polished and gas flowed, with new guides, lifters, and brand new Cat Cams fitted, new water pump, all belts have been renewed.
It is fitted with a stand alone DTA 60 Management system fully remappable and benefits from having Jenvey Throttle Bodies, competition fuel filter, competition fuel pump in tank and oil catch tank all in all a good reliable quick engine. Competition Engine mountings fitted, rev limiter light and large oil warning light fitted to dash, brand new radiator
There is a Competition Exhaust Manifold Fitted a 4 into 2 into 1 maniflow system which boasts to give extra BHP it also has a re-packable competition exhaust centre box and Scorpio Stainless Back Box.
doesn't sound pretty standard to me that mind, a standard engine to me, is running the OEM setup, that to me isn't standard, not been an arse with you mind welsh pug, so don't think I am pal,
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - Piggy - 29-12-2014
Its a sweet engine. But seems low output for all that work.
Would like to see evidence of the power too if I was spending that much.
Just bilsteins on the rear...they will die fast.
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - jorg - 01-01-2015
i had a quick chat with the lad servicing this at the New Brighton Prom Stages as i spotted the twin caliper setup when passing with my burger and chips. i'm sure he said the second set of calipers were off the front of a ford fiesta.
not sure the top mounts are the right way round though
RE: Neat GTI6 stage car handbrake - allanallen - 01-01-2015
As said it's a very basic car and engine, it may be 200bhp but won't be a deal more with standard pistons.
Avo monotubes aren't as expensive as you might think. Proper motorsport Bilsteins(not cheapo b6/b8/challenge/grpN) are ok on the rear, like the avos they'll want servicing every couple of events, they soon 'go off'.
It's got our top mounts on though so it must be fast!
