  1. Full cage remember too - I'm getting the geometry and corner-weights set up by Ian Carvell at Retro GTI in Daventry soon, will post up the weights. Went on the weighbridge down the tip and it was hovering around 1000kg, I don't think they're that accurate..
  2. Went to Santa pod Sunday to run the car down the strip to get a benchmark before adding B O O S T Previous best was 14.3@96mph running Toyo R888 track tyres, this time I just had Kumho road tyres... 1st run was 14.2 @100 mph , did a 14.1 @ 99 later and a 14.3 @101... Should be in the 12s with Turbo... :eek:
  3. Yep, Dougherty's 268s 3.68 FD and car weighs 1050-1100kg :cuckoo: Matt @ C2 said " you do realise at 1 bar boost pressure you're going to have in the region of 400hp , don't you Gary?" :lol: :shock: :shock:
  4. I'm working Saturday am till 1ish , have to be another time.
  5. It will do... It's good fun, I'd never be any good at proper racing, enjoy buggering about too much! :lol:

  7. Should help with the uphill sections of the Nurburgring and those 'nice chaps' that don't pull over on track days... :lol:

  10. Recently spoke to Graham about the length of these for mk2 Golf fitment, they are too long :wave: I've fitted them, but they really need to be shorter :help:
  11. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i270/GVK34/bump.jpg Some from Xtremesportsphotography, bit samey.. but ok. Videos on Vimeo user 'gvkmotorsport' All sorted, as good as 'new'
  12. Who said all a mk2 Golf with a boat anchor does is understeer? http://www.vimeo.com/10053035 Wrong!
  13. Video footage from Rockingham up on my Vimeo page http://www.vimeo.com/user645578
  14. We're a bunch of fairies, yeah... that's what it is. :camp:
  15. You know darn well I don't track my car, so can you please just drop it :roll: Why do you have such an issue with me using Motorsport parts on a road car? :shrug: No issues with you Kev... Road driving and track use are two VERY different things, and anyone who thinks differently needs to have a word with themselves. Personally I think the lengths some of you guys go to on 'just' a road car is a bit extreme. But that's just me. If we all had the same opinions, it'd be a very very boring world. ref pads - EBC don't list for a VR6 mk3 in Yellow Stuff. Used the mk4 4 mo pads and cut off the wear indicators.
  16. Hi David,fine thanks , hope you're well :grin:
  17. First track day of the year on Saturday at Rockingham. Great day with Circuit days/Northloop. Had a minor Golf>tyre stack interface due to cutting a corner maybe a bit too fine. :cuckoo:
  18. Tried my new '288' set up at Rockingham on Saturday using EBC yellows. (DP41330 fitment. mk4 4 motion fitment pads) Thumbs up from me. Nice improvent over the 280s.

  20. mk2 1991 and Corrado 1994 both use M12x1.5 track rod end nut [tre to hub carrier], so must be the same size? Pretty sure the mk2 (with PAS) and Corrado use the same thread track rod. (tie rod) edit -Just had a look and they are both M14.[thread size on tie rod for tre]
  21. How did they fair on track Kev? :?
