Have always been in love with Rally Racing, it is the most fun to watch of all motorsports in my opinion. So Working at Mazda i seen we had some wholesale cars on the lot and checked out this Golf, Liked it and got it for 200$.
I think its the 1.8L 4cyl. (will find out for when i rebuild the motor, runs as is but i want to)
Plans:
-Rebuild Motor or find something a little more powerful.
-Racing exhaust...not ricer exhaust.
-Proper shocks.
-Strip everything out of the interior for weight including all heating ducts and radio stuff. (leaving dash shell and cluster)
-Bigger slotted/drilled Front brakes.
-Convert rear brakes to disk.
-Remove proportioning valve 50/50
-New brake lines running on the inside for safety
-Hydraulic hand brake
-Build Side intake scoops that run to the rear brakes for cooling.
- Route hoses to front Brakes for cooling.
-Some BFG All terrains if they make them small enough.
-replace sunroof with sheet metal and a roof scoop for ventilation.
-Professional roll cage.
-2 Racing seats.
-2 harnesses.
Not in that order.
So any idea's/suggestions?
