mr_pushrod 5 Posted February 20, 2004 The FF-01 was avaliable in short and normal wheelbase, the VR6 being short I think. I have a Clio and was told that all you have to do is turn the rear bulkhead around. I imagine this would change the wishbones from a swept forward position to a swept back one, lengthening wheelbase and allowing more shell choice. Unfortunatly I am at uni not at home so I can't look at mine to see. Got to be worth a look though[] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be easier to find another FF01 based kit and then source the VR6 or V5 body (although the VR6 wheels are harder to get). mr_pushrod - I thought the Clio was the only short wheelbase FF01? I'm sure my V5 was the regular 257mm 'regular' touring car w/b? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SJoerD 2 Posted February 20, 2004 Both the Clio the Golf VR6 are the short wheelbase type. Mr. pushrod is right, you can extend/shorten the wheelbase as he described, you could look closefully on the manuals of a short and a long one. That will explain all, it's a bit too difficult to show with just words. [8D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beetlebanger 4 Posted February 20, 2004 im sure ive seen an audi a3 and a4 bodies that would fit it.can anyone shed any lite on these.trust me mat if you see it you will want it.i payed 50 quid for the golf and the pajero full radio gear,2 batteries and fast n slow chargers.both boxes and loads of odds n sod to go with it.all the golf is missing is some heavy bass line and a young fit bird in the passenger seat !
