Bringing this back from the dead...

Worked on the track Rocco this past week end; It has been about 18 months since it last ran. I had a few scored cylinder, due to a broken intermediate shaft (oil pressure loss) Rebuilt another engine, and the project sat idle for another 10 months or so. I wanted to take out all the lights / electrical from the front end out, replace the hood, for a fibre one, make the rad support modular, and a few things here and there... Redid the coolant lines, replaced the Honda rad, by an OEM Scirocco one. Added dual fans, The front end is removable with 4 bolts, and the fascia now consists of the grille being integrated with the fiber hood, and the spoiler, is quickly removed with Dzus fasteners. The driver and passenger widows, will also be changed, for a thinner Lexan, and fixed on the door with Dzus fasteners, enabling running enclosed, or windows completely off. NACA ducts are getting installed on the rear side windows, to provide ventilation to the cabin.

Also building 14X8 custom one off directional wheels, to accommodate the big brake kit; I'm running 14X8 at the moment, but the Basset wheels have very poor spoke clearance, and don't want to invest in more tires...
