Nice wheels! Strange one with paisley freight. I have used them countless times for alloys and interior deliveries and never once had a problem with them. Let us know the outcome Hopefully it will be a good one..!

And videos from the trackday would be magic! Away to have a look on youtube...

Hmm, what size is it?

It's a PRG TracSporter XW so it's the widest version of the TracSporter trailers;

Internal Body Length - 4.880m (16")
Bed Width - 1.930m (6'4")
Body @ widest point - 2.200m (7'3")
Internal body Height - 1.800m (5' 11)
Overall Length - 6.075m (19' 11")
Overall Width - 2.300mm (7' 6")

Bought it from David Humphreys Transportation, he used it for 2 weeks in Devon to transport the new Mini Clubman back and fore dealers and to take the Mini rally car to shows.

He purchased band new as the Mini wouldn't fit in the Brain James RS3 Trailer, he then let a mate use it for a weekend and then I purchased it where it's only been to Castle Combe once. The trailer is 11 months old, new in July 2010.

Just found this thread. Probably a little late, but lovely work!

 

[Dave_R]

updates on the tow car..... fitted the oem grille back on, some RS6 rims and pressed plates, thinking of a remap to take it to 215bhp but the house comes first now and I'm sure it's got sport suspension as standard because even with the old alloys on it looks lower than my neighbours Passat!

Thanks for the links boys, nice to see a few videos! Will need to post my in car footage up when I get chance!

Suraj you know where to come for some advice and Phil since the bodies and the gearbox it's 100 times better and quick believe it or not, you need to come back to sunny Wales for a passenger ride soon or get your arse to a trackday.... I sh!t myself when I drive it now lol.


And the missing rim, emailed them today and they said if it doesn't turn up tomorrow then they will file it to the insurance and sort me out!

I'm at Castle Combe once again on July 16th for VW & Audi Trackday going up with Saxon Motorsport and will be booking all the track time I can get and then will probably do Oulton Park in August

 

[suj]

You know what you need on that bad boy....is some Audi Fat Fives....I know someone who is sell them lol

Thanks dude, I can't wait to get the car in 2-3months (still not decided what lol).

But we'll have to go down to combe for some fun

 

[Dave_R]

Turn up, give me a shout and jump in the passenger seat!

I was fancying the Fat Fives but these rims came up too cheap and local for me not to say no!

 

[suj]

Fat fives are the true wheels for a passat dude

these are my actual ones (bought off Bigray off ed38 lol)

lol

Ok cool, won't be dor a while, let me know when you down new track days, might have to come down

 

[Dave_R]

you're making me think I should have had fat fives, they look lovely on a Passat

The RS6 rims will have to do now

 

[suj]

My work here is done...lmao

Na I'm only kidding, the rs6's done look too bad mate, and if you paid pennies, even better


Any new plans for the Passat/Ibiza?

 

[Dave_R]

Depending on funds after this house I'm buying I would like to have the bottom end done in the Ibiza and push it to 220-230 bhp then!

Plus I know the engine is solid then.

 

[suj]

Yeah that'll be awesome mate, congrats on the house

Then you don't have to worry about nothing about it

 

[Dave_R]

Oulton Park is now booked for August 10th so better get my MOT sorted now

 

[jc_boc]

Just read through this thread now, WOW! I am impressed mate, don't even want to know what all this work has cost you. I have been thinking about getting myself a mk2 to convert into a track car but being in central London doesn't help my cause very much hahahahahahahahaa

 

[Dave_R]

Thanks fella!

You have got many good race tracks close by mind, so even tho you couldn't enjoy it on the road there's plenty of tracks about!
