@@marvinpetersen5037 The RA's look good and yes, the nostalgia is real. Leah 2.0 things. I'm not 100% about the wheels yet. Comps seems like the obvious choice but I don't have time to finish and paint caps for it.
Dude you owned Clover? 😂😂😂😂😂 That car made me fall for golfs and was my Screensaver on mywork computer back in the day. Probably the reason I bought a mk1 golf 2door.had similar style wheels. But mine were MSW brand.

@@lowdlLegal is one thing but is it safe? Have a look at what happened to Jamie from PFIspeed at haltech world cup. If he didn't have his visor down his face would've been to a crisp. Love the channel, just saying 😊
@@johanhechter1988 It's legal and it's safe. But safety is relative. What we're doing is no where near to what Jamie does. At the 1/8th mile he is doing over 200km/h. We're doing just under 200 at the 1/4. It's a big difference. Safety should be scaled according to risk. The visor is more for bikes that need that wind protection. But I appreciate your concern. 🙏🏽
@@MayushBehari it's a 2e block with a forged 2l crank, 83.5mm 16v pistons, around 11:1 comp. I wanted a reliable street / track engine that didn't breathe oil after being at WOT for 15 Min at a time.
@@MayushBehari Yes, it's got some work but nothing crazy. Especially compared to the head I had before. The Intake ports were massaged a bit and combustion chamber was shaped and made smaller. The power is not what we expected so at some point I need to mess around and see what the restriction is. But for the little power of makes, it runs very well.
@@Tom-p9y It is lower than the front. My coilovers only have height adjustment so lowering the rear stiffens it up and balances it out. It feels amazing on track like this.
@@Tom-p9y When you don't have coilovers with dampening adjustment you need to make some sacrifices. You can play around with spring rates to stiffen up the rear. But this setup currently works for me. I now look past that it's got reverse rake 🤣

The uncle needs to put the visor down on his helmet 😮
