But the caterhams are boring in comparison and they don't have a proper roof

 

 

I always fancied a Caterham but must be getting old as I would rather be covered up now!!

 

However I really enjoy my track toy/daily drive and after passing a few Caterham lookalikes with motorbike engines on my latest track day I think it is quick enough   (admittedly it was damp but I was on my R888's so still not a mean feat)

 

Apologies for going off topic

 

Boring.....slow.....not sure if either of you have experienced a well sorted kitcar thats being peddled along competently, you may change your views somewhat.

I'm guessing willwood brakes.

Some inside info there?

Scanned a Seat Arosa today.  I was sizing up the engine bay.....

You'd probably know JP.

Yes, I've seen the 10 second 1.9Tdi from DD.

Not sure on the weight balance on track, but epic on the quarter mile.

True.  It would need as much putting to the back as possible.  Battery bare minimum.  If it was running 4x4 there'd be a diff back there at least.

 

Saying that, the one today was a 1.4 TDI so I don't imagine a 1.9 TDI is a huge step up in weight.

Ahem... Boring in comparison to this build.

I'd imagine Beefy's car is pretty hairy too.

I know the Caterham I did my drift course in was great fun.

 

As I said before, I just hope the Citigo 4x4 is as good as everyone is expecting!

I have driven a Caterham on track and been driven in a race prepared one - I am just saying getting wet and picking flies from my teeth is not for me anymore.

 

Back to the Citigo - I am sure it will be an interesting track car.

Strange question i know coming up, As i cant remember if its been discussed..... What is the car going to have in way of driver aids?

 

I would imagine the City-Go ABS pump would proberbly explode trying to stop a car doing double what its was originally designed for.....

I saw you are using the OEM rear Haldex setup, What about Traction control??? or are we going to be seeing some Ken Block 4 wheel drifts?

Driver aids?

A steering wheel, shifter and some pedals.

 

What more do you need?

It will have front and rear locking diffs though on top of the Haldex race controller.

Think the only driver aid this build needs is a frontal lobotomy for the driver.

Too late for that.

9 days later ...

 

I think the only questions left are setup and whether or not we can source custom badges reading either "CityGoGo" or "CityGone".

CityGoGo would be easier as you could get another citygo badge, or three and just chop off the GO with a stanley knife and stick on

No more insider info for me lol

Gearbox in.

 

 

 

Shorter drive shafts and downpipe up next, then shell prep for final build and refit.

That's nice

This thread is like a good thriller, tension building right to the climax and then WHAM! The twist in the tail.

Lots of nice stuff to come as it starts to come together late this year...

Not to mention actually driving the thing next year!

looking sexy! :P

Not to mention actually driving the thing to the Citigo meet next year!

Nice one

Nice one

 

 

 

I see what you did there! :P

Lordy, Heven above!

 

That is made to fit....... just!

The intercooler port looks to be in an intersting place.

 

They really are going to have to get the gunk out on the block if they want it to look like the gearbox

Looking forward to seeing this finished boss, should be something very special. How long of a time frame are you looking at untill its hassling the back of ferraris
