Just a quick heads up to say I've just joined. Was pointed here by Burp and will be at the Haynes sprint day as long as my ECU is replaced under warranty! Speak to you all soon......

looks like a right weapon there matey, love the inlet on it Very Happy

Subject: Re: Alright fellas.... Thu Dec 18, 2008 10:14 am

It's had another skin welded on now as it cracked when it was that size in the photo. Now 5mm all round so it doesn't flex like a ho. VEMS ecu has decided to just stop sending outputs though so its back off for a new one......hopefully.

Subject: Re: Alright fellas.... Thu Dec 18, 2008 10:23 am

hopefully aye...what sort of power is it currently putting out?

Subject: Re: Alright fellas.... Thu Dec 18, 2008 10:28 am

Only 140bhp, engine is tight as feck to make any power from. ITB's and some pistons next, it'll make 160+ but I'll need some custom cam grinds because I REALLY dont want to use solid lifters!

Subject: Re: Alright fellas.... Thu Dec 18, 2008 10:34 am

would it not be easier to drop a 2.0ltr engine in or you trying to keep it different?

Subject: Re: Alright fellas.... Thu Dec 18, 2008 10:38 am

Trying to be different mainly but I love revvy smallblock engines. Used to have a Nova with a 1300 8v on 40's with a 300 degree cam, pulled 109bhp, lol. Had a few blasts with a mates 172 and theres bugger all in it upto 110ish then we both backed off, license is far more important than bragging rights!

Subject: Re: Alright fellas.... Thu Dec 18, 2008 10:41 am

fair play to you then for being different, keep us updated about it mate obviously.

Subject: Re: Alright fellas.... Thu Dec 18, 2008 10:48 am

Will do, lots to come over xmas, inc. new brakes, a cage and collecting some bits for the ITB install. I'll copy the good bits from my thread over and keep it updated. Cheers for the interest mate!

Used to have a VTS but that ended badly with a tractor, loved it. Your Gti looks awesome fella, really want another.

Welcome to B4T mate... car looks very nice, that inlet really cuts down a LOT of the crap in the engine bay!

Haynes should be a giggle Smile

Subject: Re: Alright fellas.... Thu Dec 18, 2008 8:03 pm

Welcome to the club, i'm James the biggest pain in the arse you're likely to meet Smile

Subject: Re: Alright fellas.... Fri Dec 19, 2008 7:11 am

no problem about showing an interest, its nice to see someone doing somthing a little different. cheers for the comments about mine, check out my blog(although i need to update it again) and also have a look in the trackday thread at my write-up for brands for some pics of mine being used as it should. :p

More importantly the most rediculus inlet manifold set-up I've ever seen, lol.

Definately, hopefully keep it shiny side up!!

Woz, had a read of your blog just, looks epic mate. Really miss my VTS Sad
