Did you get the wheels from tsw directly?

I got them from an independent tyre and wheel place in Essex that got them shipped over for me.

I went for them because they are 7.2kg in 17".

Stock were over 12kg.

Cool think I'll be looking for new wheels in the new year. Would like to clear the brakes without spacers

Black Friday sale

Hmm didn't think of that. Doubt there will be much discount on wheels?

Same weight as my superleggeras

So I've been without the Yeti for three days...

The glass is coming out too, templates for lighter lexan windows.

Wow, they really don't hang about, nice to see it's going well. With that kind of progress it should be ready with loads of time to spare before the track season.

Ready before Christmas hohoho

End of Feb hopefully.

Brisky track toy.

Will you be fitting a cage Richard?  If you can find anybody that makes one that is.

I doubt it'll be an off the shelf part ;) I'm sure the builders will know or Richard will know somebody who'd weld one in

Really hope to see this in the flesh next year, let you have a spin in Sharky for a go in the RS

Probably a B post hoop with bracing so it's not very easy to see. Or heavy.

Makes sense with the power you are going to be running, have you any idea of the 0-60 times?   I guess the Yeti is a lot lighter than the TT is

No idea really James.

EVO tested the TT-RS as:

We bag the numbers at Brunters. 60mph in 4.4sec, 100mph in 11.1, back to zero at 15.9sec. One much bigger number is the RS’s weight; it tips our scales at 1494kg.

It's around 230bhp/tonne by the looks of it.

Yeti RS should be 100kg lighter and 100bhp more powerful.

320bhp/tonne maybe?

I doubt you'll get much off the 60mph time so theoretically it'll be around 4 seconds.

Remember, I still have to change gear myself.

LOL cannot wait till this is finished, you're certifiable Richard! But in a good way, onwards and upwards!

Just pre-insured the Yeti for it's future TT-RS mods...

 

 

Secondly, thank you for the details you provided regarding the modifications to the Skoda Yeti which have been passed to <Your Insurer> who have agreed that no additional premium or terms have been applied.

 

Thank you very much.

Its so mad, its off their scale

I sent them the video from Brands of me chasing down the R8, it went down quite well.

Richard, whilst I admire your commitment and vision for these things, I can't help but think - why not just buy an RSQ3 which is essentially what you'll have when this is finished?

It's an Audi.

 

I'd also have to change all the suspension, brakes etc... plus I think you underestimate round 2 of the Yeti project.

Think lexan windows, stripped, serious weight savings.

I expect this to be at least 100-150kg lighter than a TT-RS and the RSQ3 is heavier.

 

This time it's not just a Yeti with a high power engine, it's being built as a proper track spec (road legal) Yeti.

I keep being asked "why not start with a CR170", well, because nobody else has done a 1.6tdi Yeti, just like the soon to exist Yeti RS

There is a similar 2010 TT-RS on Copart with minimal damage if you are interested.
