Quick clip of the engine removal:

Unfortunately some git had wired the exhaust up in to the transmission tunnel, so things didn't go quite as planned.

But you should get the gist.  :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Epic amount of work getting it sorted in time for the ring, I'm impressed.

Looks like it was all worthwhile and you had a good time out there. Shame you had to butcher the better car to get yours back on the road  :grin: :grin:

I missed going to Pembrey because we were stuck in Tenerife - its a hard life but I'll survive.  :wink:

Not sure.  DannyP driving:

Mulling over what's on the (budget-constrained) calendar for 2011.

Nah, it actually needs stiffer springs and tighter damping.  The ARBs are fine and give it the neutral balance it has at the moment.

With regards to the lean, don't forget it's running -2.5 deg front AND back, on R888s, so it has quite some purchase in those corners.

Steph, who's driven a lot of tracked Golfs and has a track Syncro of his own reckoned it was nicely set up, which is good enough for me.
