since im a bit of a vw nutcase, i thought this might be of some sort of interest to some of you.

this guy too it serious when someone said lighter car and powerful engine=fun and good for track.

this thing weights in at about 700ish kg.

oh and it wont get past 9 secs since its too light and its a bit aerodynamically challenged.

does use 4motion haldex system though

yeah, seen that one before, there is also one out there somewhere with a nissan patrol puttin gout 1500hp i think, its a sand hill climb.

guess thats a class on its own though :P

we should have a thread entitled "crazy youtube videos", thread for cars and a thread for just random crap.

that will be of use here, everyone needs a 4wd.

but i do wonder what the top speed of them are.

i doubt they would go over 280kmh

still pretty cool seeing a big 4L patrol fly up a hill with 1500hp

yeah the aerodynamics of them would slow them down a bit. i think they could still top 300kmh though (with 1500hp that is).

hmmm, seems plausible. the car is heavy enough to keep it down, use the golf and you will go airborne. one gust of wind and your dead.

even though the video didnt seem too fast. maybe 300 tops. but then again........ all the videos in here are pretty rad

WTF! You're a better judge than me mate. Sif anybody could actually make a call of that vid.

Could be doin 180 could be doin a squillion.

ive been at 330 in a lambo diablo. my uncle in germany is a prestige car dealer, does all crap like lambo and ferarri etc. been in alot of cars, (never driver though) and since we have the autobahn, we have a bit more fun. :P

that was def over the 200 mark by a long shot. but no gps speedo = not real

the patrol in that vid was definately doing well over 200. would have to be around 300kmh+. just look at the distance it is covering in a matter of a second or 2, remembering that at 100kmh you travel approximately 100m every 4 seconds.

  • 2 weeks later...

if you ever want to see a really nicely built car, look up "VW RSi Dahlback" or some other crazy tuned Audi s2's

Heh, as soon as I saw the title to this thread I went looking for Dahlback vids.

A 2.3L 5 cylinder Audi motor destroked to 2.1L to get it to rev more. >1000hp, 4WD, totally insane.

    • I've sent JaseR33 a private message in the hope he gets an email and contacts you
    • I have seen a case where the starter motor shorting against the casing caused a massive voltage drop + so much EMI that it caused all the sensors to spew garbage data at the ECU. Test the battery to make sure it has acceptable CCA/capacity first, I have gotten "brand new" batteries before that couldn't even power a 10W light bulb without dying probably because it sat in a warehouse too long without being charged. Only easy way to diagnose this 100% is put an oscilloscope on the battery and also look at key sensors to see if there's any clues.
    • There's a bunch of smaller shops that don't quite attract Singer money but are still hiring from that same pool of labor. Those are the body shops that you go to when you can't afford a Singer, but your old Porsche needs some serious bodywork. You can't exactly take those cars to the usual insurance body shops. When I say restomod, I mean they'll do something other than 100% OEM/OEM-equivalent aftermarket parts R&R. In the Porsche world this would be stuff like taking a 50k 964, doing a bunch of deferred maintenance/unwinding the nightmares the previous owners did to the car because a lot of people that own these cars tended to be penny wise, pound foolish types, then maybe some relatively simple off the shelf modifications to things like suspension, transmission, engine, headlights, etc. and you've spent 130k USD. When even the worst houses in the poor neighborhoods are worth 1M USD and the nice houses in wealthy neighborhoods are worth 3-10M USD suddenly 130k spent on a 50k car seems cheap.
    • Hoping to get a few ideas to help troubleshoot this issue, I'll try to keep it short.  A mate popped the motor in his 2018 LDV T60 with the 2.8 turbo diesel motor. He swapped it and I was his phone a friend when he got stuck.  The new motor is in, however it won't fire. The battery is literally brand new, when you crank it the volts very quickly (say 2 seconds of cranking) drop to 8 volts and the engine stops turning over. Watching the belts, I'd say they move about 5cm before coming to a stop. We put a booster pack on, no change.  The only potential issue I'm aware of is, when we pulled the motor the grounding strap was still attached. The strap copped a thrashing before we realised what was going on. It looks okay-ish but it's going to be replaced to rule it out.  The main challenge is, I wasn't there for 90% of the work. This is his first time doing any major work on a car and he was learning as he was going. He thinks everything has been put back together properly, however I'm not entirely confident that this is the case.  It would be good to get some ideas about what else to check. The car isn't spitting any codes so that doesn't help.  I've attached a photo, because why not lol.   
    • I mean an N1 came with a minimal paint thickness compared to dealer models. It’s probably had a ton of vinyls and stuff possible a race paintjob or two over the years. you don’t buy an N1 for its stunning good looks or comfort 🤣 you buy it to send it and measure how much air you can get on the hill at Bathurst
