No real update right now, but the Golf is now back in my workshop, after getting the MG Midget back out.
I have a veritable heap of stuff for it, waiting to go on and into it.
First up is a new passenger side strut top mount, as that started clonking at Goodwood. At the same time as this I have a set of slightly lower springs to try on it. After that it'll be off to Pro-tyre for a little wheel alignment.
There is a built Megasquirt lying around, ready to be hooked up to it, to see what extra grunt will come out of the crossflow 8V, so that's pretty high up on the list of priorities - see what it'll give before it makes way for the ABF now sitting on the floor in the workshop. I also have the required various OEM downpipes to make up a tubular manifold for an ABF, OEM downpipes are chock full of nice bends, see.
Before the ABF goes in I have a pair of buckets and 6 point harnesses, that only need a cage to join them for me to be able to fit it all up. I've spoken to Custom Cages about a multipoint cage, which will be £665 in kit form. I want to chase down a couple of other alternatives first though, as the only option for harness bars in the Custom Cages set up are for the harnesses to go around the bar that crosses the rear struts - the main hoop isn't large enough diameter for the bars, which is why they're supposed to go on the cross bar (further back).
Hopefully I'll have the cage and buckets in for the July gig in Combe, but with a change of jobs time is at something of a premium at the moment.
