Bit of an update.

It's been to Spa and back for the 6 hour classic weekend and done another trackday. Vid here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iANBxUYdaxY

With the Golf being broken for parts this is now my main focus for track action. This winter the plan is for Coilovers, poly bushes, Wilwoods up front, 6 speed box and a Torsen LSD to replace the VLSD currently on it. That should see it sorted on the handling front and then I'll start collecting bits for BOOOOOOOOOST in the form of a supercharger. I'm not wanting to go big power but enough to drag it up the straights with a bit of pace to match how quick you can peddle it through the corners. Reliability is key as well so keeping the boost levels tame will ve good for this.

Yes.

Forgot to mention just fitted some GazGold Pro coilovers as well. Initially fitting was an arse as they're a refurbished set off a Max5 race car so weren't labeled up. All now fitted OK and handling and ride height much improved.

I do wish you wouldn't use your Flickr account to put nasty photos like those up - I have a lovely pretty stream and I can always tell your photos these days, because they look NASTY  :tongue:
