The 3.4 machine is almost done!!
 

After 33 months off the road, give or take a drive to break in the 3.4, the car is nearly done. I am taking it out on the local PCA drive Saturday morning (early) and then it needs a CB and alignment and a few little details cleaned up!! My scales will show up on wednesday to do the CB.

Car started life as a special order color 84 in Pacific Blue. I had built a warm 3.2 for it then took it off the road/track to build my own idea of what a DE/fun car should be. It has a 3.4 twin plug motor with ITB's that made 285hp at the wheels and weighs about 2225lbs empty!!

Car has 935 style coil over suspension front and rear and Brembo big brakes with a dual adjustable MC. Has a factory LSD too boot! Monoballs in all joints, SRP sways and Elephant racing front 935 strut brace.

Anyways, here are some pics of it today!!!

looks great! love the green.

Cory, I responded to your email, let me know if I can help in anyway with the article!

Cheers

Clean....very clean....how do you like the Hargett....

Nice. engine pics?

Looks great! What is that on your firewall?

Love the Hargett! Had a Wevo, like this better!

hmmm, engine pics, okay, the build was detailed on the engine rebuild forum. I will dig out some pics.

The wheels are going to be for sale, I will be using two sets of my new 17 inch fuchs for track and street.

On the firewall is the ECU (laptop programable) and the igintion box to fire the coils.

Cheers

Good man!

That car is just a perfect statement. Beautiful.

Yah that pretty much has everything I would want. What is the dash treatment? Alcantara? Where did you source it and how did you install it?

scary looking car, Jeff!

The dash is a custom FG piece I made (I have a mold) and then I covered it in a Alcantare like material. The one piece lower dash is from Rennline.

The Fuchs will make the car!!

Cheers

Nice.

I can't imagine not being able to drive it for so long.
Staring at it must have been killing you.

Jeff,

Who did your paint?

Giddyup! That's badass!

Killing me? You bet! But the whole time I was working on it so that helps! I got to work on lots of other cool projects at the same time though!

Cheers

Very nice Jeff!!

I like the way you have kept the interior rough, just like original factory factory cars when a small group of speed freaks ran the race shop. All bizness and no BS. U look ready for either Spa, Monza or the Targa.

Thanks guys!!

Looks awesome Jeff! Can't wait to see it with the fuchs.

absolutely amazing!

wasn't ready for the colour change; but its really nice...
the entire package turned out amazing,

so u like the haggert shifter more then the wevo? damn... cause i love my wevo...lol

i'm planning on an interior re-do (in addition to some wheels and potentially some brakes) will be using yours as a potential idea!

congrats

Was that thing not running last weekend? Guess not. I was wondering why you would be driving that dated GTI after Keith and I traveled all that distance to see your car! Anyway would have loved to have seen it in person, non the less it looks great in pictures.

I LOVE IT! WOW!! Excellent choices!

Doug

wow - we could call the motor "Black Bart"...

I just finished both of the motor threads after reading this one.
I guess the only word I can use has been used before.
WOW!
Love the colour, very cool!

Jeff,
That really turned out well. Seriously nice.
Al

I want!

Jeff,
I have also been following your work all along, and all I can say is...SWEEEEEEEET!!!

I like all the fine detail that has been put into your project. were it mine tomorrow, I would not change a thing!!
