1952 circuit racer on the way

Hi german lookers

Ive just bought a 1952 split window bug to compete in the UK Aircooled Cup. its going for a welded in cage from der botcheinvolks, a 2366 T4 motor, dry sump, fuel injection, ECU, sparco seats, luke harnesses, lifeline system, plexi windows, impreza calipers and discs, huge wheels and semi slick tyres!

road legal, race log-booked and hopefully a whole load of fun

i did a few vwdrc races in the oval so ive got most of the kit lying round, and ive done my full race licence.

i suppose it will be a german look

ps
are there any split window circuit racers around?

WOW..

Sure would be interested in seeing the brake set up..

You mention impreza, are we talking subaru 4 pots, Brembos, or single pot impreza calipers..
Being a Scooby guy I have some of these parts laying around.. (single pots) and 4 pots on the car.. so I would not mind seeing what was done to have them mounted as well as how the spindle and hub were made.

Thanks
Alex

rear 2 pot calipers from a WRX, they are nice and light and if a two pot caliper is enough for a lotus elise its enough for a bug in my opinion. no point in fitting brakes that do more than enough, ill only have to carry the extra weight round the circuit. the hubs will have to be custom made and im not sure where the law stands on handbrakes?

piccies, sorry i didn't get time to take photos i had a BBQ to get to
