Jason Moyle Racing

Hi Guys

Following a bit of prompting from Jason here are some details of my car. I have owned the car now for 18 years and have almost finished building it (refinement is probably a better way of putting it). Although the car is road legal, MOT expires on 25 July 2013, it is currently SORN'd. It has over the years surprised a few people and has had a few top 10 places on events, class awards and championships. So now down to the nitty gritty, the current specification is as follows;

Body / Chassis: Fully seam welded shell with Safety Devices weld in multi point cage, including front triangulation. Front and rear sub-frames have also been seam welded for strength. Custom made (Brise Fabrications) aluminium fuel tank, baffled and foam filled with a capacity of approximately 11 gallons. All fuel, brake and oil lines in Aeroquip style hose and joints. Electrically heated laminated windscreen operated via timer relay from a steering wheel push button, with all other windows in polycarbonate plastic (bronze tint). It has a fibreglass bonnet, single wiper conversion and an aluminium roof air vent. Aluminium lamp pod with 4 Cibie Virage (clear lens) lamps. 120 amp alternator.

Engine: 2 litre 16v, gas flowed head, solid lifters, REC valves, Arias forged pistons, Arrow steel rods, lightened and balanced crank, billet steel flywheel (Bildon Motorsport), Jenvey throttle bodies and TVM inlet manifolds. Powerspeed custom exhaust manifold and single box exhaust system (fully meets RAC MSA noise regulations). It has a full DTA engine management system with a current rev limit of 8100 rpm that produces 201.6 bhp (182 bhp at the wheels) and 155.1 lbft of torque at 5764 rpm. Davies Craig electric water pump, custom 3-core aluminium radiator (Brise Fabrications) and electric fan.

Transmission: 6 speed close ratio Sadev sequential gearbox with 4.78 crown wheel and plate LSD, allowing a top speed of 119.3 mph, on current set up. 210mm metallic 6 paddle clutch and up rated cover, with internal hydraulic bearing. Custom made (Sadev) unbreakable drive shafts, GKN F2 outer CV’s, modified hubs and up rated wheel studs (modified Escort Gp4 on front).

Brakes & Suspension: Front: 298.5mm x 31.8mm vented discs with Wilwood GNIII 6 pot callipers, using Hawk HB102.800 pads. Bias pedal box with internal adjusting knob. LEDA fully adjustable coil over shocks (springs 8 x 450). Electro-hydraulic (Citroen Saxo) power steering utilising a VW left hand drive steering rack.
Rear: standard GTI rear disc, fitted with wheel studs, and pad set up. Hydraulic and cable handbrake. LEDA fully adjustable coil over shocks (springs 9 x 425). All brake lines in braided hose and bulkhead fixings.

Wheels: Compomotive MO 7x15, fitted with a selection, (R02, X04, R08, R12 & X22) some of which are new, of Dunlop CR311 moulded slicks. There is a total of 16 wheels.

Safety: Plumbed in AFFF electrically operated fire extinguisher system, OMP fibreglass bucket seats with a legal FIA badge (although out of date they are still acceptable as the car has an old MSA log book). FIA badged 6-point harness’s with a 2016 expiry date, electrically operated FIA emergency cut out switch, Brantz Laser 3 trip computer with twin wheel sensors. Engine aluminium sump guard. Custom built lightweight wiring harness.

If anyone is interested the car is currently up for sale complete with a spares package and it is, as they say, ready to rock and roll. I can be contacted via PM or email vwrally at blueyonder dot co dot uk.
