Title: Re: G60 Edition One
Post by: Organisys on 09 May 2006, 13:08
Thanks all, colour is nice, but needs some sorting, and a lot of polishing in the mean time.
Wheels are ace, but a so and so to clean!

I've used nearly half a tank of fuel in only about 100km, I think she might be running a bit rich though....
smells of unburnt petrol a bit, even when up to temp.
Title: Re: G60 Edition One
Post by: Neaty on 09 May 2006, 13:26
what are your plans for it then?
Title: Re: G60 Edition One
Post by: Organisys on 09 May 2006, 13:37
Plans?
Firstly to polish paint and Rims, also steam clean the interior !

Then bodyshop quotes....

As for tuning, it's a good base for a project, recent complete engine rebuild by The Phirm, and has a ported 'charger.
May well run smaller pulley etc, given time.

Handling not too bad, it's on a spax kit at the moment, quite low, don't think it has any uprated arb's though.
Brakes are good, been done with Zimmermans (I think) and green stuff pads.

How many Miles/KM to a tank in your then mate?
Title: Re: G60 Edition One
Post by: jv on 10 May 2006, 13:02
Best 225 miles, worst 175 miles on mine  :grin:
Title: Re: G60 Edition One
Post by: wag,en,volks on 10 May 2006, 18:41
I have probably done less than 400 miles in it since i bought it(took it for a quick blast today  :evil: :grin: :grin:) , so fuel economy has not been top of my priorities!!,

but it drinks more than my vr6 :rolleyes:  which is not exactly frugal,
Title: Re: G60 Edition One
Post by: Organisys on 17 May 2006, 12:11
Just had a phone call form the VW Expert, she needs a little under arch seam welding, where someone has been a bit hasty cutting away the arches, and one rear shock is leaking. Everything else good..

So, I am thinking Koni adjustable Dampers and Eibach Springs...
Good ride / comfort

or

Koni damping and ride height adjustable coilovers.
slammed !

What do peeps reckon?

EDIT: It will be a daily more or less, with some track use. Oh and I'll be doing ARBs at the same time too.
Title: Re: G60 Edition One
Post by: topher on 17 May 2006, 12:17
depends how many miles you do in it. my view is, there's no point having coilies if you're going to poof about putting them on their softest setting, go as low and hard as you can.. thats what they're made for :grin:

if you have to drive it every day then surely comfort is more important than balls out handling performance.. it'll still handly well on shocks/springs.. its a mk2 afterall !

ps. i dont even keep track of my mpg.. im sure it'd be too frightening... the joys of a 65mm pulley and wild cam.
Title: Re: G60 Edition One
Post by: ...joe on 17 May 2006, 21:29

i agree coilovers if you want slammed but the koni/eibach is a quality set up!

I'm no expert on exactly how rolling roads work, but I do know electronics. I suspect the little bumps could be caused by the method used to calculate the engine rpm? Do they do it by sensing the ignition pulses? They connected wires to the battery terminals is the reason i ask.

Anyway The chaps at Storm were well pleased with how the car was running. What you don't want is big peaks or troughs on the graph.

Well as you all should know by now Storms figures are a load of CR@P!
Work it out for yourself.
My Storm figure = 173.7 bhp
Co Clifford figure = 156 bhp which is far more accurate!

11.5% I make it.

So your true figure comes out at 151.7 bhp.

Post by: Organisys on 09 May 2007, 18:21
Len, I agree that some of the results were a bit optimistic, based on the recent rolling road day there. I am purely using this as an estimated before and after result for fitting a smaler super charger pully.

Sweet. Is there a reasonable pub in Tilehurst? Most look like Chav holes.

Thanks for all the complements on the car, but those of you who were at the Stonor show last year, know that it needs paint... not done this yet as it's being used on track, so no point yet.

Dude are these 16" wheels? If so are they 7.5J? If so what size tyres are on them to make them stretched like they are as i have a set of momos 16" 7.5J and unsure what size to put on them as its an expencive mistake to make.
Kind regards
