Gti6 Supercharged Track Car

[cjm_harris]

As said in my "Hello" thread, thought I would put up a bit of a project thread on here.

The full thread can be found over on the six forum here: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=131516

It will be a mission to post my whole project thread again, so please check out the link above, maybe if you have some time to kill etc :laugh

What I will do instead is post up before and after pics, and if anyone wants any info/pics of particular bits, let me know.

Pretty feckin cool mate, take it your running low? how do you get on without the LSD?

[Matt]

That's awesome, pretty much the plan for my rallye. Although instead of a charger I want bodies.

Stripped is the way to go, the rear of mine is a part time stripper. Sounds epic when booting it!

Hey, Is this taken with your 500d mate? Not a bad video at all.. however, I don't know if it's just my laptop, but it seems quite jittery/shakey?

Nice car btw bud! Great spec. It looks immaculate in the pre-mod pics.

Just wondering, you running stock injectors on this??

[cjm_harris]

No, runs Bosch 440cc injectors

[Stephen]

Saw you go up the hill about a hundred times :p

[ginge191]

No, runs Bosch 440cc injectors

and these fit fine? no faffing around needed??

[cjm_harris]

I think I did 6 runs. Was my first year and was loving the hill. Wanted to do more than I did.

and these fit fine? no faffing around needed??

Yup, fit fine. Fits to the standard fuel rail and still uses the standard fuel pressure regulator.

Awesome, cheers pal; seems' i'll be using these on my build.
They're not a bad price online either! how much did you pay for them? brand new/recond?

I bought them new, but came as part of a kit, so unsure on the price of those. £160 seems to ring a bell though. I will check it out for you if you need

[ginge191]

yeh please, that'll be useful, saves me using some random ebayer

Very nice motor mate.

Why the flared wheel arches at the back?

[cjm_harris]

Thanks

This is a very "home made" car mate, on a budget. Most things have been done by me or my mate. That was my mate, we hired an arch rolling kit as the 16s with R888's were catching. Arch rolling fail :lol

At least it no longer catches the arch

Few pictures that Harry (arigti) took at Pugfest B)

Decided I was fed up with my calipers looking s**tty, but dont want to spend too much time/money/effort on having them done properly as I want to replace them at some point for better brakes. So I bought a tin of red Hammerite to give them a freshen up.

Went to take the wheels off and my locking wheel nut socket broke. Slipped and removed some teeth and bent it. Useless :rolleyes

So got a mate of mine to give us a hand smashing a socket on to remove them. Nothing is ever easy :laugh

Car jacked up and ready..




The state they started in (think I have muddled the pics up..)





After a clean and masked up.




After the first coat.

And after the second coat, that'll do. Much better than what they were like.








While waiting for the paint to dry, gave the exhaust a quick clean up



Random shot of the car looking like a rally slag



And finally one of the rollcage padding I fitted a while back

[Tom]

Looking really nice buddy! The small stuff always makes a huge difference!

[Ed Doe]

I've had a tin of caliper paint, masking tape and a brush sat in she'd for ages waiting for a dry day to do my calipers! Thanks for the photos showing how you did the masking tape, saved me trying to work that un out lol!
looking really nice

[Pugmarshall]

Just un-bolt them!?

[cjm_harris]

Thanks mate, yeah looks so much fresher. Just need to do the rears now.

No worries mate, really easy. Note that mine was a half arsed job as I am looking to replace them. If you are to do it like mine, it will help to turn the wheel to full lock each way to make it easier to paint the back (I didnt really paint the back)

Pugmarshall, when you say unbolt them, you mean so the brake lines still attached? Or completely remove from car? If you just unbolt them, it would make it harder to keep in one place while they dry. Taking them off the car would be best, but more time consuming and pain to refit and bleed brakes up etc..

[Ruan]

Must say, I do love this car, I've seen it a few times at shows etc, always looks absolutely ace. Nice to see a (relatively) OEM+ looking car with buckets etc. not turned into the typical "track car" which ends in the bodywork looking tatty..

Awesome work

[Jonny b]

I saw this at pug fest have to say it sounded the fookin tits! nice car bud

[Pugmarshall]

Yeah I meant off the car, it's a PITA though I agree!

Lovely car btw, sounded insane at pugfest

[cjm_harris]

Thanks for the comments guys

Good to know it sounds good from the outside. Thinking it would be sounding a bit dull compared to most cars running up the hill at Pugfest. Trouble with having it as a track car, had to make the exhaust as quiet as possible.

[Ruan]

Supercharged'uns do tend to be redunkulously loud, the high boosters end up so loud to try and get the gasses out fast enough!

Out of interest, do you run a lightened/billet fly?

They can be silly loud, and its amazing how much difference the noise changes when you change how open the throttle is

I dont run a lightweight flywheel, but it is something I want. Had one on my last gti6, and loved the difference it made. Had to sell it in a time of needing money though

[cjm_harris]

Not much going on with this at the minute..

Painted the rear calipers and gave the disc protectors a tidy up. (No pictures as Photobucket doesnt work at work, and no internet at home for the time being)

Still waiting on my alloy battery box so I can fit my new lightweight battery and locate it behind passenger seat.

Rear beam is still very broken, hoping to sort something with this soon..

Want to book loads of trackdays, but in the process of trying to get a house...

[Ed Doe]

Did my fronts and rears on the weekend mate, thanks largely to you reminding me hah!

Did you use Halfrauds paint-on Caliper paint? Do you know if it interacts with any cleaning products? I dont want it all coming off when I clean the bleddy thing lol!!
Did you lacquer yours too?

Haha, good stuff mate

I used the Hammerite smooth stuff, as it said "straight to rust" so me being lazy thought I would need to do less prep work

Didnt lacquer them either but Im half expecting for them to fade/look shit at some point in the near future

Nah the hammerite will be fine, only sados like Ed get Bummed for "caliper paint"

Ive had hammerite on brakes and had them hot enough to boil the fluid and the hammerite was still fine.
