I thought it would be lighter than that seeing as its stripped out etc...but then again it has got a VR in the front!

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..

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:

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:

I'm working Saturday am till 1ish , have to be another time.

ooo that looks like it might make a bit more poke!

It will do...

haha looking good loving the track pictures :D loving the one with the car stepping out! haha

It's good fun, I'd never be any good at proper racing, enjoy buggering about too much! :lol:

Oooo nice shiny bits! your shorter hoses should be with us on friday if you want to come and swap them over :)

Thanks Graham will pop over Sat afternoon if that's ok?

I need a 3" clamp on air filter as have sold my Carbonio CAI anything will do to keep me going a few weeks.... got anything?

£985 inc VAT, not bad at all. Better than Owen Developments price of £1061 + VAT :?

 

1.06 back housing (and 268 cams) will give it some stonking top end 8)

:lol:

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

I think all the prices are on there, it's a genuine Honeywell turbo... GT3582R with 1.06 hotside

Going to be running C2 42# software, 440s, C2 spacer plate etc

I already have a socketed ECU from C2 UK , been running their NA chip for two years or so. :D

Joining the ranks of the VRT boys.....

320mm :wave:

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:

All sorted, as good as 'new'

Thanks, it was a lot of fun. :clap:

Who said all a mk2 Golf with a boat anchor does is understeer?

We're a bunch of fairies, yeah... that's what it is. :camp:

How did they fair on track Kev? :?

 

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.

Hi David,fine thanks , hope you're well :grin:

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:

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.

Yeah it is a shame about the lower BJ extender not being doable on the VR platform. I suppose you could make a spacer where the 3 bolts attach the BJ to the wishbone? I.e. make say a 20mm thick spacer, bolt that to the wishbone, and then bolt the BJ to that. It works in my head, but probably wouldn't in practice :lol:

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]

How did they fair on track Kev? :?

Don't know, haven't tried :?
