I don't change my master cilinder because it will make no difference because the cilinders of the callipers are the same, and my Audi already has brake servo..


well, I made it fit with mk1 legs, caliper carriers for mk1 golf with VWII calipers and the calipers.. but I will give your version a try if i do not have the parts for my one.

I also use the original master cylinder and brake servo on my derby.. works perfectly.

the half moon shaped brakes are allready much better than the square ones...

been to Eindhoven? liked it?

Gallagher 08-11-2006 13:34
yes, I think they are, but I am mounting VWII calippers anyhow. the smaller brakes will get overheated on track. Yes I liked einhoven :) got drunk, allthough all the bars closed at 10 in the evening. I work as a bartender and planned on having a drink, but none of the bartenders there could mix a longdrink. You guys have shitty bartenders :) otherwise I liked it a lot ;)

I think you went to a different Eindhoven than me :tongue: ....

The vw2 calipers were on a polo g40 so they do fit easily, but the calliper carriers for a g40 are different, they have an extra bracket which causes 13" rims to fit very hard...

Gallagher 08-11-2006 16:10
I know :) if you have the right offset on the rims, 13" fits :) I have got a shit load of parts, so I'll just try different combinations til i find one that seem ok ;)

just kidding, I think Serge can be helpfull with that..

my carbs are waiting in the shed too, I need him to make an inlet, unfortunately I'm not a welding champion myself.

serge pot 15-11-2006 06:00
so someone has got information which his ears are still flappering :D

Gallagher 15-11-2006 10:19
had a very good discussion with serge yesterday, hoping for a smaller follow-up today ;)

Gallagher 11-04-2007 11:23
just bought another car for parts.. thing are beginning to happend now and I have used about 1000 euros on parts just the last two months :) just have to wait until the summer so I can get the chassis welded and painted.. well this is the car I got for about 120 euros..

steven16v 11-04-2007 11:44
Nice car for 120 euros. Nice colour. And I like the interior of the car! Very sweet!

The roof, is that original?

Gallagher 11-04-2007 11:58
nah.. the redneck dit not get the car threw mot control, and found out that chopping of the roof seemed like fun :) I also have to add that this car has got an extremely rare HC engine with 1100ccm and 60hp.

berendd 11-04-2007 12:39
looks pretty good though..

shame that they cut the roof out, but a good excuse to make a ragtop polo!

Gallagher 11-04-2007 13:10
he, he.. well, you are welcome to have a try at getting that approved by the department of motorized vehicles :)

Berserker 11-04-2007 14:20
I also have a HC in my audi, actually on first sight the polo doesn't look that bad at all, but don't they all.. :rolleyes:


All times are GMT +1. The time now is 02:39.
