Title: Low Weight + High Power: Group 5 MkII Golf Turbo Post by Robin_Fleguel on 01/26/11 at 18:04:36 Mk2 Group 5 Golf - built in 2009 by Peter Reilly @ Hot Bits as an Open-class Synchro - now converted to Group 5 - front wheel drive goodness - has approx. 10 rallies on it - properly maintained at Hot Bits including post-rally inspection after every event - replacement of consumables as needed as well as regular life-cycling of ball joints, bushings wheel bearings etc. - we had to add weight to meet Open class minimum - and now the AWD subframe, control arms, diff, axles, prop shaft, Synchro coupler are gone - so a conservative estimate would be 2300lbs curb weight - FIA/CARS compliant cage built to 2009 spec by Hot Bits/Tonik - all proper - no compromises - all lines plumbed inside car - aluminum skid plates, Rhino Lined underbody - ATL FIA-approved fuel cell with compliant spill barrier, braided fill and vent hoses with AN-12 Jiffy-Tite Motorsport fluid quick-disconnect couplers (similar to a dry break system, but less expensive) - cool rear wing - 1.8T engine from a Mk4 Golf - 6000km from brand new when installed, SEM stage 1 chip (12-15 psi on Sunoco 94) - spools instantly, front mount intercooler with custom carbon front venting. - brand new Peloquin LSD - Close ratio tranny from Mk4 VW GTI - VW Motorsport cable shifter (copy - actually better than the genuine item) - hubs converted to 5x100 - (makes it easy to source proper rally wheels) - ARP long wheel studs - Corrado front brakes - dual Wilwood master cylinders plumbed to separate front and rear circuits - Wilwood pedal set with balance bar + rear bias valve - hydro handbrake - Hot Bits DT2 gravel suspension, fronts just rebuilt with zero stage miles, rears are brand new - adjustable top plates in front - Beltenick FIA HANS 6 point camlock belts expire 2015 - SPA analog tach with digital speed readout - Autometer gauge package incl. boost, oil press. water temp - Momo rally steering wheel - suede - quick disconnect - Cobra Imola II seats - FIA approved - Peltor intercom - map light - Terratrip - fibreglass hood pod with 4 Hella 4000 halogen pod lights - all wiring/switches complete - sold with current CARS log book, ready-to-rally with full safety gear: extinguisher, triangles, tow rope etc., 8 Team Dynamics gravel rims, 8 used gravel tires - the optional support and maintenance relationship at Hot Bits is available to the buyer at incredibly reasonable rates but is by no means necessary for many - as the car is very straightforward to work on - a proper build and a great way to compete at the very sharp end of 2WD inexpensively and reliably - and it sounds like Group 5 is going to be the place to play this year. - serious inquiries welcomed asking $12,500 CAD option: complete bolt-in Synchro AWD system including everything required for asphalt (subframe, control arms, front and rear Peloquin diffs, race halfshafts, prop shaft, STi brembo brakes, Hot Bits DT1 (asphalt)) - complete bolt-in package for any Mk2 or Mk3 VW $3000 CAD Links to Photos Tom Hayston: http://www.performancerallyimages.com/LHR_0010-1.jpg http://www.performancerallyimages.com/_BBR1318-21.jpg http://www.performancerallyimages.com/_BBR9039-4.jpg http://www.performancerallyimages.com/_BDC2183-48.jpg http://www.performancerallyimages.com/_SRC2124-9.jpg http://www.performancerallyimages.com/_GFR4797-28.jpg http://www.performancerallyimages.com/_DEF5657-7.jpg http://www.performancerallyimages.com/_DEF5896-46.jpg Robin Fleguel rfleguel@hotmail.com
