I just read that before seeing this! Will your Yeti's friend be getting the Shark treatment? I know you use Jabba but I presume you won't want to give them more work that might slow down the CitiGo project.

 

It was my birthday earlier this week, but I didn't get my Yeti anything - you've made me feel guilty now

No need to go crazy on a cage!

The last thing you want to be doing is rolling it

Don't Audi fit all their engines longitudinally?  Will it be possible to take drive from a TT engine mounted the other way round?  I'm wondering if it would be easier to start with a Golf 4Motion.

No most of Audi engines are also transverse (including the TT)

 

Richard have you thought about doing a season or two in a full race series? (I doubt the Citygo will be eligible)

It's a hobby, taking it too far would just lead to financial ruin...

I just spent a long time reading this thread. .. Needless to say I dont venture out the fabia thread much.

Reading I thought. 2012 .. ive well missed this thread. But it'sstill ggoing to take forwver lol

hurry up and get it done !!! :P

It will be epic !

The Ciyyo would be elligible for time attack though.  You know you can do a one hit wander in any of the Time attack weekends!!!!

With no aero that could be... Interesting.

You dont need aero, you have AWD    Would be worth a laugh though

I would buy you an aero if you did it ....

you would be against my clio if you did time attack    could be a fun comparison!

Office bod in a mad Citigo verses race driver in a customised Clio?

I hope you're not turning the power down now Luke...

No he won't...................

 

 

What he will do is fit a small radio receiver to the engines ECU and mount a small radio transmitter in his car.. When he sees you going faster than him he will press the transmitter  (or even do it over a wi-fi phone app) & this will initiate a series of cuts in the sparks (like a rev limiter), you will think that you have a fuel stutter/starvation issue with nothing showing up when you do a VCDS scan in the pits which will lead to much confusion..........  .................

 

Luke.......I'm not giving you ideas.......................honest.........  ..............

He could just put the original engine back in 

I hope you have asked them to fit a twist knob on the dash that says 'power' and goes all the way up to 11

sounds like you actually put a lot of thought into that! hahahaha

A few of the kitcar guys do sprints which are quite cost effective as racing goes, usually an old airfield somewhere, or even Goodwood if you fancy it. I'm sure there's probably some class or another you'd fit into. Be a scream embarassing some of the knobs that participate

There are a few GTROC/Porsche Club ones in 2014, with a field of GT-Rs, Skylines and Porsches.

That could be interesting using the Citigo in the "guest class".

Would love to see the look on their faces if you ever did it.

Sounds good, if you need a support crew, changing wheels, checking brakes etc, happy to pack a few tools up and come along.

...that's... come along in a supervisory capacity ...we can promote Taylor,.. he can be the grease monkey...  

Well I think I've ended up as GTROC rep for the Essex area during 2014 so I'll be able to sneak the Citigo along to a few meets and track days. 

There are a few Sprints too.

 

Ground crew welcome.

Post the dates up sir, I am sure I can be there as unofficial photographer  

Will let you know later in the year when I know 100% what I'm doing James.
