this is now my wallpaper on my works comp and loving it!!! well worth the couple of quid I paid the guy for it, (he doesnt normally sell the digi images apart from to the mags, but does sell them as prints etc. but that was no good for me

the top 2 where full on beasts!!! with the A3 pushing 460bhp + NOS!!! if I could have shaved off only 1 second I would have been 5th fastest….I should be a bit quicker next time though as I finally got to check my suspect front camber with a gauge and it was at 0! good for 1/4 mile traction, pants for cornering, so thats being sorted over the weekend as I have my own camber gauge coming now

(yes that is fuel pissing out of the filler cap :? :shock: :cry: not amused! I know it dribbled a little when brimmed but didn't know it was that bad!!! explaines why I felt very ill though and could smell fuel :roll: )
also check out the front wheel on the pic above :mrgreen: a bit of side wall rolling action!

(vveeeryyyyy heavy braking!! I got the rears on the point of locking a number of times, and at one stage I managed to snatch all 4 brakes
![:lol:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/lol.gif)
On a side note I also got my full set of yelloow stuff trackday pads yesterday, put them in last night and went for a burn to snake pass to bed them in, (sadly i didnt get onto the snake pass as it started raining as I got into Buxton so it wasn't worth it :cry: ) but the initial signs are good, not bad feel and stopping when cold but once warmed up they gave some very very good stops and resisted snatching the unloaded rears rather well!

Ive also made a start on getting ready to re-shim the tappets, this will mean the cam is quieter as it runs closer to the tappets so their less slap (later cars ie mk2s on have hydro heads, where the tappets fill with oil and touch the cam at all times as they "pump up" the down side is they limit the revs of the engine to 6500rpm….Borris power band runs to 7000+ and he gets that high on track
![:lol:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/lol.gif)
I have also had a ball ache of a day sorting the new bits for him!! about 6 weeks ago I got a polly mount kit and Ive been slowing changing bits over as they get replaced…so far I have done the front and rear engine mounts, and the rear anti roll bar
![:o](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/shocked.png)
So I now have 2 arms polly bushed up, with new ball joints ready to fit tomorrow 8)
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/929046/DSC00394.jpg)
I just need a dry day now to whip the front suspesnion off! I will also set the camber when I re-build it too
![:D](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/grin.png)
also heres a sneeky peak at my plate surrounds that im still yet to finish modding, there are only 3 sets in the country as I brought them back from Austria my self… the guy in the local dealer thought I was odd mind, wanting 6 plate surrounds, but still said it was no prob

not the neatest, but it works and makes some handy power :wink:

hi m8 was just wonderin what time u managed at santa pod? i only did a flat 17 but i did have a boot full of ice, love your car im hopin to make my gti into a track day monster, also was wonderin if you had any head work with that cam, im thinkin of dropin one in mine cheers
I did a 16.53 at the pod, which is poor tbh,I should be in the 15s i recon if I can get traction…
the heads stock at the mo, its the only bit really that Ive not played with, but that will be next winter as at the mo Im busy spending all the dosh sorting out the handling and saving more wieght :wink:
the one thing I will say is that a cam can not just be dropped it, it will need to be shimed once fitted and run in, otherwise it will be noisy and wont give the full power it should.
today I have done:
new arms both sides, fully poly mounted,
front anti roll bar poly mounted, (2 bolts snapped :evil: but its back on, and new brackets ordered, prob is the Crazyquifs is close and wont be open till a week on tues :cry: but hey ho)
Rear top mounts binned and replaced with new poly mounts,
and the cam has been shimmed :mrgreen: my tools arrived this morning so this eve me and Dean set about having ago, and its eeaassyy!! I need to order 3 or 4 new shims, but I have managed to get them all sat within tolerance now as I had some spare shims to use, when the cams been properly shimmed up to the lower end of the tolerance I should get an extra bhp or 2, as I will get higher valve lift and longer duration lift too :twisted:
we also set the camber on Deans mk2, Horrace, so thats now sat right too

replacement oil pressure gauge fitted tonight, so I ahve all 3 working now - pics to come tomorrow 8)
Tappet shims arrived today finally! so the cam now runs a bit queter and should make more power too as I will be getting max valve lift..
The front antiroll bar has been re-attached, which should help the cornering a little.
and the orther wings have been fitted!!! :mrgreen: (I still need to seal the joins and coat the inner A pillar and then refit the arch liner… but thats no biggy.. the main thing is the arches are on and Im loving the 2 tone look 8)
