OEM ABF Management has 2 knock sensors and is a proper cute little thing.

Can't knock that up in a couple of days!

Pulled the engine and gearbox last night.  Put new clutch in, test drove it.

Still did the same.  flywheels can wear out too, kids.

Already back out, on the floor and split ready to have my lightened flywheel and clutch on.

Why didn't we use them?  Well it's only a 210mm (or something) unit, not a 228mm one, so there was some concern about its ability to put up with the output an ABF will pump into it, but it's pretty fresh so it should be OK, plus there's the fact it's only 6kg vs 9-10kg for the standard unit.

We'll get there.

jeez i didn't realise just how heavy 02a flywheels were  020 one comes in at 5.5kg as standard

Oh f*ck that's a bit quick.

I guess that's a sign that it's all working as expected 


Now let's see what times you get

Now on P&O. 

[Diamond Hell]

On the last ferry home, after a truly epic time out there.

My Golf did about 20 laps.  I think I did 6, with the others shared between the other three guys who were driving.

It wasn't faultless - the starter exciter lead came off on two occasions and the bonnet release cable pulled out.

These are failures I think I can live with  .

You wait until you see the video footage - what's going up on Youtube as soon as I have tidied it and I'm on a non-mobile connection is just great. 

HUGE thanks to Hurdy for being so patient.

Glad it was a success mate, look forward to the vids.
