Hi Wally, have you done any other "invisible" modification to strengthen your car? Thanks

Does anybody know why does the "finger down" icon appears above?? :-/

Yes: the picture above where you took that from (1st page). It even says so in the text above it..!?
Still early in the morning I guess? LOL

:D I wondered if you've made anything else that can't be seen on the pictures of this topic ;)

Ah, no, nothing else; I've shown it ALL ;-)
Well, now (10 years later) the car has a roll cage with welded A- and B-pillars to the cage and a tube from cage main hoop welded onto the trans fork, so that has probably stiffenend things up even more, allthough I hadn't any flex that I could feel before either.

The (used) disks for the LSD I got from Paul Guard came in today. I am really, really happy with them. He definately has a great heart for the VW aircooled community.
These are already so much better then the 'brass junk' :D

Good deal Wally! Now you will need a H.A.N.S system to keep your neck from snapping in half with all that traction!

Found an old movie on my compu back when I didn;t know how to post on youtube...
It was the first time out with the turbo'd old fully original 2 ltr 914 engine. I drove straight through the track testing it out :)

Very cool! Hard to believe that was already 3 years ago! Time flies...

That was probably that huge grin blocking your vision :D

LOL Meant straight TO the track..(oeps ;-)

Coming sunday I race at that same track in a new event called 'Superlap'. Its very much like a TimeAttack kinda thing.
Installed more aggressive rear brake pads, but they are not bedded in at all yet...hope they will bed-in enough during warm up lap driving...

Keep us updated Wally, and take as many photos as possible.

Sure, there will probably be a lot of professional photographers along the track, so don't worry ;-)

Good Luck and have fun!!

Fun was had, despite a wet track part of the sessions. I'll try to gather some pics here over the next few days.
Engine ran flawlessly all day, again; its getting almost boringly reliable...
Track times were not very great, but at least I could drive home again with my son how was with me for the day :-) I did ran a PB wrt end speed on the straight (205,8 km/h), which was very cool. New rear brake pads were an improvement I think.

another sucessful day - you must be very pleased with the longevity of the motor so far with only minor issues :)

:) Can I ask about the two different exhausts?... One street one track?
