Build a race car for £999.00 challenge

Thought I should put a post up about this, we are entering the PPC build a race car for £999.00 challenge next year, our car will be a Justy naturally

Team Hayling
Me, Garndi, MattG & Jimbo.

The car bought for £150.00 with a knackered engine


The engine we will use, its G13B with high mileage, we will give this a good going over


Started to make a manifold


Plan to use a TD04 Turbo, Garndi Turbo chip & NOS, the car must cost less than £999.00 to build so this will really be done on a tight budget.

Ppc's great I went a year ago and loved every minuit. It will be good to see the justy kick arse

i like the wheels on the car

good luck

Just up the road from my house apparently. He even called me to rub it in on the way back home .

He must be using his team of office staff to sit on ebay all day waiting for them to pop up lol.

LOL, as you know Andy I have bought a few for less than £200.00 now, I only ever buy them for the gearbox & how much is a gearbox worth

how much stronger are they than standard and are the ratios the same?

Much stronger than the standard GTI one & I believe the ratios are roughly the same

I got mine for £65 I cant imagine paying £150 you must be a fool.

when you change to a justy box do you have to change the flywheel and clutch to justy aswell?

Yes, Justy flywheel, clutch & I would think steering rack, which would involve moving the mounting points & you would need to blank off the rear output. Not a 10 minute job

nah that sounds like a hell of a job

you dont need to change the steering rack, i run a justy box on my black one

Thanks Steve, I stand corrected, I thought the Justy rack was mounted higher on the bulkhead than the Swift. Seem to remember Garndi moving the rack mounting points up when he did his white one in Oz.

Budget Turbo manifold finished, needs cleaning up a bit but it will do the job

you need the justy rack if your running 4wd, but if your running the justy box on a fwd gti and you remove the rear drive section of the gbox then you can keep the stock rack

Been waiting for the new head gasket from Japan, it arrived yesterday, so we can rebuild the engine now

Picked up an M5 diff with LSD & 3.46 ratio

Thats a cool paint job on the diff

LOL, it was cheap

is that head gasket for the stock bore gti or for vitara pistons? MLS?

For stock Steve, its for Jap market only, your local dealer can get you one but they will need to do some digging, its copper with 3 layers. The part number is not recognised in Europe, we got ours trade, £80.00 delivered & it took 2 weeks.
