Any update on this? Looks great!

Hallo, i didn't have free time for internet. :(

Some news... new rims, new engine... and so on.

I had a problem with "old" engine, it was without electric wires, so i bought whole car. Skoda Octavia 1.8T, (AGU - with mechanical throttle)

Here's some photos from modification of front part for engine and photos of interior. Engine and silentblocks - Octavia, gearbox - Octavia, shifting - Octavia, steering - Octavia, complete electric and dashboard - Octavia, custom half-axis, custom exhaust (meantime 54mm), cooling radiator - Mondeo Mk1, FMIC - Mondeo mk2... Because i bought new rims with pitch 5x100, so rear brakes was replaced by brakes from Golf VR6 (5x100) and front hubs are custom, brake discs from VR6. maybe calipers from Corrado G60 will be replaced by calipers from Nissan S13 (four-piston capileps)....

And new rims. 3-pieces Schmidt Revolution Modern Line 9x16 ET21 + 9,5x16 ET2

And for interest... "Evolution" of wheels on my car...

After purchase (01/2005): Alessio 7x17 ET35 on 205 nad 215/40R17

half year after beginning of "car reconstruction" (04/2007): First set of schmidts. Schmidt Modern Line 7x15 ET25 + 195/50R15

Second set: Schmidt Modern Line 9x16 ET30 + 215/40R16

Third set: Schmidt Modern Line 9x16 ET15 complete polished + 215/40R16

Forth and last set: 3-pieces Schmidt Modern Line 9x16 ET21 + 9,5x16 ET2

Nice update

I'll look out for you next time i'm in Plzen

Octimark: I'll be pleased.

It looks that weather will be fine, so i'll started with works on my car. I need it, i have withdrawal symptoms. :-D

hi skury, this project looks awesome.. i do have a few questions to ask though

where you have cut and welded the chassis rails to take the golf/octavia engine and gearbox mounts, you have cut down into the chassis rail.. is this because the engine does not fit under the bonnet? or is it to get the driveshafts to line up better with the hubs?

also you mention audi axles (driveshafts) which audi did they come from? year and engine type?

thanks, tom

Tom: I watched this post a minute ago. So answers in PM.

Yesterday i bought VW Golf 2 syncro... 4 weeks ago i bought gearbox from Audi S3 1.8T quattro... I am crazy, but i want Skoda felicia 4x4.

correct me if im wrong but you cant use the scncro rear diff witht the 02m box as the angle drive ratios dont match, or have i missed something and you have a cunning plan

Boomsly: jj, that's true, but when you use torsen center-diff, 4x4 will go.

Some newer photos, one year ago. :-)
