wahoo me and my bf got our cars in this months golf plus! well chuffed with the pic although they got doms name wrong (dan baxter meant to be dom) its in the ists write up! will need to get some pics up soon as its got the exhaust on now too!

i went up 2 wks ago for the first time! wa well fun! i only did 17.3 in my standard 1.8l 16v! :( was fun though just need a faster car! how much are R32S

just need lots of patiance washing up liquid a hair dryer and a squeegie

defo that would be an interesting race!

the full spec is 2.8 obd1 dizzy schrick 268's (possibly 264's) grant motorsport head raceland 6 branch (heatwrapped) decat 2.9 inlet manifold amd throttle body neuspeed pulleys raceland flywheel

it can be remapped but the mk2 is not standard!

ah i see we are talking standard engines in the cars they are meant to be in! the mk 3 golf drives like a jelly mould though on standard suspension. and is horrible hard on non standard!

well they are decent guys that know what they are on about so if anythings up with it they will find it! even just to take it up there for a health check and to see what it does at least then you know theres nothing to worry about.

well as i have found out raddos do better being thrashed. and get faster after 100k miles so not always an advantage to have low miles.

depends what has been done to engines really. my guys mk2vr6 got 206bhp but has had lots done to the engine! apparently the cams make a big difference to the torque too. we thought the mk 2 had 268's but stealth reckoned it had 264's cause it makes lots of torque really early. although apparently you would get a higher bhp out of 268's at bout 220bhp when it made 206bhp. we asked about r32 engines and technically that should be faster in the c! due to the golf not being able to put the power down and just spinning up where as due to the c being heavy it can handle the engine better. technicaaly it could be lots of reasons. :shrug:

thats well sh*t! sorry to hear that! i hope they catch the thieving ratbags.

me and my guy went to stealth racing on monday i found it quite enjoyable as ive not had a car dynod before or even seen one being done. it was rather scary too it sounds like your cars about to blow up. i had my standard 16v set up on the dyno fuel pressure/wur mod and ignition timing then a power run at £65+vat for about 40mins. i started out at 133bhp and finished at 137bhp. the guy said that my engine hadnt even started to loosen up yet due to the miles (66,000approx) and that it needs a good thrashing (wahoo permission to thrash). for all of you that havent had theirs dynod and want to know what it may do the guy said the 16v's loosen up at 100k miles and that they usually do 155bhp approx. now the mk2 vr6: it had a remap at £275+vat or £250+vat depending on wether its a soldered in chip. it made 196.9hp at 5846rpm + 193.7lb ft at 4183rpm before the remap and 206.5hp at 5790rpm 205.6lb ft at 4066rpm after mapping. it makes over 160lb ft from 500rpm and climbs steeply to 205lb ft max they definately know what they are doing at stealth.

thats what u have 2 cars for! so you dont need to put things on the roof!

i had this problem a couple of months ago and it was the circlip on the gear stick!

btw a small pic of the ferrari is in the gemstone section on the dorotape website
