Iīts been a while sins the last update but better late then never ...
Now, the chassi update has begun.
first we dissmounted all at the rear, beam wishbone etc.
Empty...
Itīs always more work..
On this pic, you can see two other taction arms that we was thingking of using but no, we will make a new set with unibolts...
time to start up the lathe, had to produce this..
Can anyone see what this is?
When we found the rigth pivot point for the rear beam, I could start with the front end.
Then to the fun parts. :)Rear beam modification.
We will build a trailingarm setup.
Man in action....
One done .
Did make a new set of shorter steering arms.
These will give us quicker steering respons.

Hi.
Its the center line pivot point bracket for the rear beam.
IRS on a Polo 86c is far beyond the normal mods.
The front and rear beam are now done and mounted
Fully adjustable in front and rear.
Today we will start with the front hub angle.We want the wheel to dive in more when we turn the steering wheel.
The berg cup cars have no irs thats for sure.
But i want to have control over the toe-travel, have the possibilities to adjust camber ,caster and toe.
So far the setup has changed the wheelbase with ~50mm in length and the track width by 60mm.
Caster in front 3deg. so we will see what we end up with but it will definite mean that we have a better situation then before.
pics coming up.
stay tuned....

Congratulations for the great job that fact.
I'm shocked at what has accomplished, and spend more than 2bar of pressure without breaking engine is impressive.

Thank you for the comments.
The engine is fantastic as it is just now.
But i will add water / meth injection towards the sommer.
now back to the update of the build so far.
Now comes the pictures.
After a whole lot of work during the Christmas and New Year eve, now the car is down on its own wheels again.
First a picture of the modified section of the section toward the torpedowall to handle the increased load.
Then comes a picture of the rear axle mount in the middle.
Wishbones have been modified.
The spring plate is moved up 20mm, a stabilizer bracket is welded and steering arm has a new position. The angle of the hub modified to provide more angle in the hub that little sloppy expressed as more camber angle and better precipitation of the wheel when steering.
Finally a picture of what the front end looks now
