david matthias Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Hi Having taken the decision to sell the westy & replace it with something a little more practical. I am thinking of either a 2003 vxturbo or building a GTM Spyder has anybody had any experience of the spyder build quality how do they handle etc. I am trying to get time to visit the factory but getting away from work is not easy at the moment. I would not want to use the K series engine so would be looking at the audi 1.8 which the factory are starting to put into some of the cars. Any opinions would be appreciated. David Quote

studbuckle Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 drop v7slr a pm/email. He's just sold the Cateringvan as v7slr Jnr came along so he's looking to get a spyder in a short while so they can continue touring with Jnr along. From what i've seen they're a lovely looking car Quote
DutchWestfield Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 David, You could consider becoming a member of Team GTM. Team GTM is one of the two owners clubs. The other club is GTM OC. Team GTM has a forum like the forum of the WSSC. Obviously it is not as good as this forum, but it gets close The Team GTM forum is not accessible for non-members, sorry for that.... The Audi engine is obviously a very good choice I would be a bit cautious to buy one of the first kits of a new type, GTM recently launched a few very poorly designed upgrades which even caused a recall recently. I would BTW be surprised if the Audi engine fits the Spyder. I use the V6 body which has a bigger engine bay to get it all in. The V6 body is not available for the Spyder. Quote
