 i saw the first few pics and thought it looked 'ok', sort of euro look widebody golf with a bodykit.. not really to my taste.... then i saw the pic of the t5 and noticed that most of the body panels are quick release and changed my mind about it  |

 I've seen this kind of ARB on lots of awesome cars over the years, anyone know the make or why it's so popular? |

Faster. Faster. Until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

I think they`re called Knife Struts here in norway, dunno what they are really called in english. I think the idea behind them is that you can twist the flat bit to stiffen or soften them? Edit: Seems they are made by Sellholm, and cost about 400 pounds for a complete kit. www.pedersens-racing.no/bil/knivstag/ |

Dave they're called 'blade' anti-roll bars over here. As MadMaxx says, the idea is that you can rotate the flat section so it's easier or harder to bend, giving easy adjustment of the anti-roll. I've even seen some cars run a cable from the rear one to a lever in reach of the driver for on the fly adjustment of the oversteer/understeer balance. Loving this golf, I think I spotted it on build-threads.com not long ago. Awesome build, I was a little confused by the live axle out back given the rest of the build, but all in all it's an amazing piece of kit, and live axles aren't terrible. I can only hope my mini turns out half as well prepared as this thing. It's so refreshing to see a sensibly sized turbo and attention elsewhere on a crazy project like this, as opposed to the usual route of a bicycle wheel sized turbo and just trying to ram ridiculous pressures into an engine that needs attention in other areas. Might also go to explain why he hasn't had to replace the entire front of the car with an intercooler |
