Hi,
Anyone have any experience of how best to install 5 or 6 point seatbelt fixings in a Mk8 that will satisfy scrutineers? I'm thinking of really big sandwiche plates threaded to take the eye bolts unless there is a better solution. Thanks

Re: Race Davrian
Thanks. That install looks pretty neat too. Have you inner rear arches that keep the air filter from getting covered in road dirt/water? I see that the original top shock mounts have been replaced with new ones that incorporate the engine frame, albeit with the shocks presented at a slight angle but...

Re: Race Davrian
Thanks. It's currently 1565cc but will go up to 1593cc when the new domed high CR pistons are in, although I've come across a German company that are building them up to 2.0 litre producing 200bhp with a lot of work! They're quoting more than the value of the car to build one though - the disadvanta...

Re: Race Davrian
Hi all, Just thought I'd post an update on my Mk8. It's taking a lot longer than I would have liked but I haven't given up. The plan is to race it in the Historic Class here in Ireland which is a great class with a mix of all sorts of cars. One of the key requirements of the class is that the engine...

Re: Mk8 Davrian For sale
Hi Garry, Did you manage to sell your Davrian? I'm currently building a race Mk8 with the same basic engine but a different model gearbox. Would you have some more pics of the engine bay and box. I'm specifically curious about the engine mounting and gear selector. Any idea what power you're getting...

Re: Engine change Mk8
Hi Garry, did you ever upgrade from the Renault engine or have you still got it? I'm about to fit mine so would appreciate any feedback or pictures of the installation. Thanks

Re: Davrian Girling Calipers
Great thanks. I run EBC Green Stuff pads on my Westfield for road/trackdays/hillclimbs and find them pretty good as an all rounder so was thinking of trying them on the Dav too (race only). The offset of the Wilwoods seems to be similar to the Girlings but it shouldn't take much to modify them if ne...

Re: Davrian Girling Calipers
Since my last post I've found out that it's probably uneconomical to try to get these Girling calipers reconditioned and to get a 4th matching one because they're out of production (so a pair of reproductions would be needed instead). I'm now thinking about fitting 4 pot Wilwoods instead and have co...

Davrian Girling Calipers
Hi, the latest oddness that I've come across while rebuilding my race MK8 is that the calipers are alloy Girling AR3's all around, upgraded from the usual type 14's. The problem I have is that I only got 3 in the box of bits that came with the car so I was wondering if anyone might have an old one i...

Re: Race Davrian
Update: John Rawlins and Tim Duffee have managed to confirm the chassis number (51) and John has sent the picture below (thanks John). It was apparently originally sold to Tony Bridge but if anyone knows any more information or has any original photos I would certainly appreciate them. Chiltern_Air_...
