protouring mk6 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 car will be my daily once its been to a few shows. i know what your saying about the turbo but it does not have a bad write up so thought at the price it was worth a dabble. spent about six months looking into turbo set ups and i feel this set up was best for my intended use. there is also an lpg conversion to be done to make it a bit lighter on the pocket.

Craig855S Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 What's the turning circle going to be measured in? miles? That would be infuriating as a daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee grout Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 This looks amazing. How low are you gonna run this? Hydraulics would be cool so you get decent ride on the road then a bonkers stance when parked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protouring mk6 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 thanks for the comments, bonkers it is lock to lock is the same as a mk4 escort so will be ok as a daliy the front suspension is narrowed like an aircooled vw , this enables the front wheels to turn as normal ( front wheels run 245x30x20 tyres). its been one of the toughest mods to do and still be able to put all the bits in the engine bay. the whole frame sits 5" off the floor so there is plenty of ground clearance and it all sits on coilovers. it is 46" to the top of roof, its low . more soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
