Inside Badgerwagen

The motor

Favourite 1.8T car in the world!

You appear to have forgotten to mention that it's got over 600bhp

Did that somehow slip your mind

 

[StaceyS3]

This car is an absolute animal

Really think you should turn the boost right up on the dyno one day to and see its full potential as im sure its still got plenty in reserve

Ps please get a passanger seat in there for when I collect mine

I second this, can we start a petition for a Pax seat in the badger wagon?

Boxed arches = win!

Hi Bill - nice to have a chat with you at Combe on Saturday, and great to see the Badgerwagon in action.

Aren't they just. Would be cool if you could get 8L ones.

 

[16Klappe]

Aren't they just. Would be cool if you could get 8L ones.

But I thought that S3 arches were the Arc De' Triomphe of motoring beauty?

Do you think Bill just got these off the shelf? Man up and make a set for an S3; DO IT!!!!

 

[Prawn]

Was going to say, the arches are available to everyone.

You just need to hand craft them yourself!

 

[Gizmo20VT]

Epicness Bill! 600BHP FTMFW!!

you just need thin slitting disc, some sheet steel, mig welder, cardboard, grinder and some small amount of filler and several hours of cutting and a shutting, and viola... kindof - lol

 

[Kuvi-S3]

Impressed at the calmness after stacking, not a single swear word !

Car looks awesome !

 

[Marston]

I was parked next to the badgerwagen all day on Saturday and I had no clue what it was! What a beast

Funny, I could here the engine, the brakes but no voice! You seemed all very calm

 

[badger5]

calm - thats me behind the wheel

resigned to the fact it ended badly - doh!

 

[badger5]

I should have come said hello...

 

[Chlippo]

Nice car and video Bill. Do those cars all run similar power figures?

 

[Marston]

I should have come said hello...

i wouldn't of looked like an audi sport net member due being in my mates polo gt40 instead of my s3. Had a look under the hood whe you had it open to see what a 1.8t could look like if I had the money and what a beaut it was!

 

[badger5]

Nice car and video Bill. Do those cars all run similar power figures?

multi class (4)
1400cc to 2.2ltr turbos from class D 1400cc to class A 2.2ltr turbos.
ibiza lives in class A from its 1900cc motor

 

[Scullies]

Bill, what power steering reservoir are you using there? Looks like a VAG model and a nice relocation option for me

 

[Prawn]

standard ibiza PSF res by the looks of it Scullies

Nice vid from Combe Bill, it's a real handful isn't it!

just normal ibiza one.. Beware however the neck of the master cylinder vary so they do not all interchange.. as I found out when having to replace mine previously when it melted.

Looking forward to meeting up tomorrow morning.
