That scooby had a bitofa moment brisk yeti's going to be great with the extra oomph and better stopping power

Thanks to Dark Hero pointing me towards some seats on the bay of E, I now have these to do me for now.

 

 

As they were cheapy-cheap they'll do for now and I might have a go at the logos on the top...

That should do it!

When you think of changing them let me know Rich!

Nice one Richard.

If I had the cash they would have been mine

Looking good Richard,

how about a perminate Black marker pen?

Leave them as they are, you should then be able to sell them on easily when you no longer need them.

Sneaky peak of the soon to be Yeti VRS.

 

Race blue, yum yum   

Should look great once finished

I hope so Sam!

Shiny!

In other news, suspension is proving to be a PITA.

 

There is only one kit available listed for a Yeti.

H&R springs with Koni dampers.  Not really what I want for track use.

 

So it looks like the option will be a KW v3 setup for a Tiguan with springs matched to the target weight of the car once it's been lightened.

 

I'm planning (or should that be hoping...) to get it down from 1,511kg to 1,350kg.

Giving a power to weight ratio of around 235bhp/tonne. (+driver)

Plus driver? My right leg probably weighs more than you Richard 

 

Going all out with the suspension set up then

I'm 80kg... not much I can lose off that either.

Would air suspension not be an option?

Possibly, but more for normal use.

I'd rather have a decent KW kit under there if I am going to be giving some stick on track.

Wouldn't air add massively to the weight?

Looking good Richard

Nice.

Looks brill.

Can't wait to see the finished vehicle.

Colour choice looks spot on Richard

Speak to GAZ with regards to your suspension they are in Essex too. Colour is..... The only colour to have really 

Still say it should have been Yellow.

 

The blue isn't bad though, a close run second in my book

Considering it's going to get a beating on track I want a matched set of springs and dampers.

 

As James says, GAZ are an option.

Or KW as they have other kits for the same platform and I've run them before (v3 kit) and been really impressed with them.
