Jason Moyle Racing

So I thought it about time I start a thread on my new race/track car....plan is to enter it in Class A of the VAG Trophy Championship next season...but still got a load of work to do before then!  I'm hoping to have it up and running by end of August fingers crossed....hope you are reading this Mr Moyle 

So a bit of history about the car....

I bought the car as a bare rolling shell in 1996, with no interior, glass or engine.  The shell is a genuine Campaign edition EW chassis and it's been dry stored in the Forest of Dean since I got it.  I had always wanted to turn it in to a track/race car but have just never got round to it......until about three years ago when I decided if I don't make a start on it I never will!

I had already started hoarding bits to go on and in it over the years.....

• Fibreglass bonnet, tailgate, wings, doors and Berg cup arch kit
• Polycarbonate window set
• Heated front windscreen
• Carbonfibre interior trim panels
• Stack ST8100 digital race dash
• 2.0l Audi ABK tall block
• Forged Wiseco pistons
• Forged H-beam con rods
• Lightened, knifedged and balanced 2.0l forged crank
• JMR baffled sump
• Various 8v x-flow heads (including two OBD1 ABA heads imported from the US)
• Two full sets of Supertech valves - one set 40/33 and second 42/35.....two heads will be built up eventually 
• Two sets of Supertech valve springs and titanium caps
• A set of Supertech solid followers
• Kent GS6 race cam
• Modified Ashley race exhaust manifold (ex TonyB....cheers Tony  )
• Jenvey ITBs
• Emerald K3 ECU
• 02K gearbox, re-built by Hotgolf with 4.25:1 FD, 8v GTI 3rd/4th gears, 16v 5th gear and Quaife LSD (another thanks to TonyB for the diff  )
• Custom one off 02K gearbox mount
• JMR front and rear engine mounts
• Gaz coilover suspension
• Eibach ARBs
• Full set of poly bushes
• New wishbones - seam welded
• Custom balljoint spacers and early Mk2 balljoints
• HRP bias pedal box
• Wilwood 4-pot Dynalite calipers
• Seat Ibiza Cupra rear hubs, calipers and disc conversion
• Modified front hubs to take 100mm CV driveshafts, rebuilt with new bearings and hubs
• Genuine VAG rack with Quaife quickrack, Mk2 trackrods and rosejointed ends
• Solid alloy steering mounts
• OMP FIA 6-pt bolt in cage with additional bracing and door bars
• Sparco fibreglass bucket seats
• Sabelt 6-pt harnesses

Eventhough the shell has been dry stored for so long the dreaded tin worm had made an appearance on the floorpans, so new complete floorpans were sourced for both sides and fitted, this actually saved the job of removing the original seat runners which won't be needed due to using side mounted bucket seats 







Work completed on shell so far

• Front scuttle has been removed and smoothed
• Rear arches have been tubbed
• Brace has been fitted between the rack mounts
• Sunroof mechanism has been removed
• Front turrets have been seam welded
• Underseal/sound deadening material has been removed from front inner wings, interior and under car
• All unnecessary/unneeded brackets have been removed
• All fibreglass panels fettled and trial fitted
• Cage mounting points plated and strengthened
• Seat rails added
• Ballast mounting studs added between passenger seat rails (in case I need to carry any ballast due to power to weight regs for championship  )

Still got a lot to do.....car is being widetracked significantly to fill the Berg cup arches and need to sort some custom driveshafts or find some to suit....

I'll try and get some pics up of the car and engine bits when I get a chance to get them hosted so keep your eyes peeled on here......shell should be going for paint in a couple of weeks 

Oh and if you were wondering why I started the thread in the JMR customer cars section.....Jason will be building the engine that will be going in the car using the bits I've supplied above.  Pistons and block have already been decked to get the CR we will be targeting of 12.5ish:1 , the head will be a 8v x-flow head treated to some time on the grinding bench with Jason listening to Wham....
A custom JMR inlet will join the ITBs to the head, I dropped the laser cut flange profiles down to Jason a few weeks back!  The target for the initial build using the 40/33 valve sizes is around the 200bhp mark with more to come with the upgrade 42/35 head
