citigo CitiGo-Go, a Citigo with more Go.

[Wardy]

That shifter looks bonkers - then you remind yourself it's in a Citigo.

 

Priceless.

One thing I've been meaning to ask -are you going to get a steering wheel with reach AND rake adjustment fitted?  

 

There's still time to go spring green.

It's a bit of a mindbender really.

 

The Citigo will be slightly lighter than a Skoda Fabia S2000 Rally car, with about 50% more power and a similar 6 speed sequential transmission.

I'm not sure it's possible to "get it" because working out what the thing will go like is a bit unfathomable until we actually see...

[greenstripe]

I like the way the key is still in the ignition -even with the steering column on the floor.

Is this the craziest thing jabba have ever attempted?

Honestly I'm not sure and it depends on how you rate things.

 

I don't know a lot of what they've done over the years, but I do know about a 500+bhp Audi TT Quatto (same drivetrain but regular gearbox), a couple of 500+bhp Golfs, a 1.8t high power Bam engine in a Lotus Elise of some description as well as the more typical stuff.

There was a 4x4 converted early Golf too, but not sure that went all the way to completion.

I don't think anyone has been as mental as to try anything like this before.

 

Mind you, you could have had it going quicker if you found a way to install a jet engine!!!!

Ok, not just Jabba, but there have been VR6 (some supercharged) and 1.8T (2wd and 4wd) conversions on Golf 1 and 2, and on Skoda Felicia. Ignoring differences in drivetrain mass, some of them would have come in under 1_000kg.

Spotted Bossfox's signature on another post but wimped out after 26 pages and skipped to the end.  I am glad as I have stuff to do this week.

 

What a fantastic idea.  I will keep an eye out to see how this progresses,  Well done that man,

[cysne]

Its been a long time since I have seen one of your threads!

 

I got my Greenline 2 Fabia just after you got yours and I followed your Blue Mk1 Fabia, before I fell off the side of the earth! (Were is that car now?)

 

But this is just bonkers. Good luck!

[BossFox]

The Fabia went to another Briskoda forum member.

 

Been through a few cars sine the Greenline...

I remember the user name.

 

 

 

In Citigo related news, the bodyshop now have space so it's going in shortly.

They needed to finish a Roomster to make space for it.

Understatement of the Year award goes to.....  :think:

What have you got them doing to a Roomster?!

[philhoward]

I was wondering if there was some sort of BOGOF deal going on..

[BossFox]

It's a Cat D one I bought ages ago on a whim but didn't get round to getting it sorted.

It'll be up for sale in January, 62 plate with under 3k miles.

It'll be up for sale in January 2015, 62 plate with under 3k miles and a 1.8tsi transplant 400bhp+, four wheel drive, sequential gear shift, stripped interior, roll cage, bucket seats........

 

I see a pattern emerging.........

That'll be common place by then though. IIRC, when the Project WTF was first brought to light, a few of us had suggestions of either full blown Monster Truck or an enclosed transporter for the Citigo-Go - sadly, Richard didn't bow to peer pressure then

I can't find a reference but this made me think of the Mercedes 300 SLR transporter.

[VRS_Dan]

Utterly insane! Genius but still insane!!!

[BossFox]

Well, the Citigo is now booked in to make it's first appearance as part of the Briskoda stand at the Castle Combe Spring Action Day on the 26th April 2014.

Jabbasport are happy with that day and so am I.

So I'll be doing 4 or 5 short track sessions in a 450bhp Citigo.

(Or a 300+bhp Yeti if it's not...)

[dbg400]

(Or a 300+bhp Yeti if it's not...)

 

A 300+bhp Yeti? Does Yeti-Man know about this, or is your tweaked Yeti due for more enhancement?

[rockhopper]

Or is that a typo......

[BossFox]

No it's not a typo.

If the Citigo isn't done I'll crack out a 1.8tsi Yeti with a few extra tweaks for Combe probably.

Have been thinking about it for a month and keep talking myself out of it... if the Citigo wasn't nearly done it would be at the top of my list.

Nearly bought a donor last week... But couldn't find a red one!

Needs to be an SE with no sunroof.
I don't like ballast.

 

 

 

 

Need the Citigo done to keep me sane and stop my wandering eye...

[Dark_Hero]

Let's hope the citigo gets done or there will be an epic build thread again

I'm quite surprised thoughts of a 3.0tdi yeti haven't appeared

It won't be epic Charlie, it's actually quite simple.

Tried and tested K04 turbo conversion to 320bhp plus brakes and ARBs. Job done. Car already has the 1.8, 4x4 etc... So a week or two of work max.

3.0 diesel too heavy in the nose IMO.

Anyway getting back to the Citigo... which is what people are really interested in.

Luke has been working on the cage and downpipe is in.

Will have some pictures up tonight, but I'm temporarily unable to get to the PC as I have a two week old baby asleep on me... It's all go!
