Stock 1302 & 1303 Wheelbase

[Steve C]

Hi

I'm back working on my 1303 again. I was sort over all the hassles I was having and I have a few other projects going on, my sons drifts an old R31 Nissan Skyline, I've been helping him modify that car, he also has another 1303 which is my daily driver, I did a bit of an engine freshen up on it, its a 1904 c with 40 dels, Berg 309 cam etc, it dropped almost a whole second on the 1/8 mile after this. I'm also building 26 x 4 metre concrete retaining wall by myself.

I had a local company (http://www.k-mac.com.au/) make me up some caster/camber tops for my struts, in conjunction with some backwards fitted sway bar caster bushes I was able to get my wheel base to measure 2425, so its 5 mm over, close enough. It doesn't have to drive correctly, but after its all passed I will spend some time on an alignment machine getting it worked out.

Hopefully I can get it passed soon and start driving it, there is VW only drag meet in February that I would like to attend.

The guy at K-Mac is willing to ship overseas, he makes sway bars etc for VWs of all sorts and he's a real nice bloke to boot.
