Dogwood

Pm'd you a while back re. gearbox. Could you let me know. Cheers.

Have used them in the past on polos/golfs and they are every bit as good as powerflex imo.

You might find the gearing of your standard box will be too long for your new engine. You'll probably have peak power at around 8200rpm and find yourself revving to 9k. You're going to be geared for about 180mph. I'm not sure if there are any shorter CWP's available anywhere for the GTI box though. There are dog boxes and sequentials available from Germany in the 085 bellhousing pattern, which is Polo GTI fitment. You also occasionally see Gemini sequentials for sale on racecarsdirect. Again 085 fitment.

PM'd you re. cylinder head Angelo

Mine goes in to AAS late August. Local to us (Newcastle)and very good. Will be going twin box and OEM tailpipes as I want to keep it as quiet and stealthy as possible. Give me a shout late early September if you want to check it out.

What is the condition of the car: dings, paint etc. Any other info on service history etc?

Don't scrap that shell FFS!

Don't suppose these are still available? Been let down on the tickets

Wish you'd posted this yesterday. I've managed to buy a couple from elsewhere now and I can't go back on my word. Never mind!

Anyone know of any weekend tickets for sale please let me know. Need two.

Yes, I collected mine from Tigz.

KW use progressive springs on the rear. The fronts are linear and are metric rates. Coverts to about 280lbs in proper money.

Mint! Where you at Tigz, i'm chomping at the bit here!

Tigz, have you got these back at Doncaster already? If so, I might as well have a run down and collect. When would suit?

And me

Are they all getting sent to you Tigz?

Just read this and it all sounds dead fishy to me. Just out of curiosity, check with VW on the availability of third gears. I needed a fourth for mine and had to wait months. It's not something they really stock as demand is low, so how they have got one at the drop of a hat is a bit baffling. I could be wrong though, but it's just a hunch.

I've had two GTI's, one from new and my current car from 2yrs old. Both have been jerky from cold. Always ran both on Optimax / V-Max. It used to bug me, but I only drive the car once in a blue moon these days, so it makes me chuckle now as it's more of a lovable querk.

If you are going to run the car in the mod prod hillclimb class, I would stick an AFH in it and leave it as a 1400. Lots of tuning potential.

Payment made with a big smile.

How do they fit, do they clamp either side of the front turret, with the positioning of the bolts determining how much camber or castor you dial in? Like the look of them alot. Any ideas how much extra castor you get get out of them?

Cheers for that. All cars of friends. They are all nice, but the E30 is just peachy!

Mine was the red GTI in the centre, looking a bit poverty next to the rest of the stuff around it.

Great weekend apart from some s**tbags robbing my wiper blades during the night.
