Yeah I know I've been neglecting the forum lately...nawww, now that I have a GTI 1.8T daily driver I'm too good for you guys! (j/k, in all honesty, I'll take an Audi 5cyl over anything else anyday *grin*)...actually I've got the CGT back, and will be building a better turbo setup and getting the chassis in semi-race shape. And then will be selling it, again. =P
The only downside to the CGT is FWD, more than 250hp is difficult to put down without major fender flaring and some 245mm+ wide tires. You can see in the video that even at 180ish hp the 205mm tires I have don't hold too well at WOT. I'd rather turbo a 4KQ, 90/80Q or type 89 CQ. Oh and CA vehicle and emissions laws suck too. lol =)
I'm sure Mr. Garza agrees with me on that one. How are you doing by the way, good sir?

Did that have a Limited slip front diff?
I've heard thats almost required with turbo coupes.

However during burnouts/launches the car would leave two strips on the road...if the road was tilted, one would just be a bit shorter. During second gear wheelspin the chassis waddles from left to right as you can see in the video; no doubt a limited slip or at least better dampers (bilstien sport) would help with that.

Got the crack in the trans tunnel welded up, got's some 500lber's for the front, and just had a new set of ball joints modified so they won't crack while on track!
