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

- Momo rally steering wheel - suede - quick disconnect
- Cobra Imola II seats - FIA approved
- Peltor intercom

- 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
