First issue, I have a Sharp Built Shroud and on the install I had to cut off the original oil filler hole which intern becomes a holder for the fan and alternator holder. Well I only tacked the aluminium plate and the torque from the pulley broke the tack but I caught it in time and it was repaired ( no damage ). Second issue ! Brakes. I replaced the brakes after years of mental abuse from the one and only Lanner. The brakes are done the stopping power is amazing and it's really cool. Third problem! After completing the brakes I purchased rims. I am trying to keep the original fenders for the front and rear but I got 7's in the front and 9's in the rear. I do have short axles and it's a swingaxle car. Again Lanner told me that it would not work but the stubborn person that I am had to learn the hard way. I was more determined to make it work because the rims where polished and so I was trying to work with them( budget, budget) . I then had to purchase 7 X 17" for the rear as well so I no have to sell my 7 X 9's and there are two pairs and one is polished and the other regular with brand new tires. The last fix was the tranny. Around 4 years ago I purcased my Tranny and it was a steal, couldn't refuse it although I know that I had to rework the gears. Over the winter I also changed the two last gears so I can hit the track but also go on a cruise. All this was done and let me tell ya, being a lone ranger is rooough, I applaud all de boys out there who works alone.

July 25th 2008 today, I drove to work and maaaaaaaaaan
I ya could see the smile on my face. WA WOWwwwww...
Well ohhhh yes I discovered some more bugs but these are easy fixes. It's strictly amazing the car pulls in every gear and ohhh boy it flies, I need more.

Ready To Go Again, Anytime.

Do you have any pic of the car.

Chris,

I am in .. I will not be driving though but will bring the Volvo and my spare T4 block with clutch / PP / FW. I will get to your place early and help figure out why that T1 setup is not fitting the 901.

I'll be bringing the video camera for some youtube footage ! I have a small portable BBQ as well.

1.29 + - is the lap time to beat.

Sandeep

Why yes Mr. Bad Bug, if you look under the forum called BugFest and Vagkraft ( 1 2) you will see the pic's of the cars. Mine is the Black Oval and the lic. plate is VW EGO I am wearing a red cap, in one of the pic's you will see the engine lid is off exposing the motor.

When are you coming to Canada?

Chris, i'm still in.

Can't come by this weekend. Off to Cincinnati, OH for TDIFest 2008.

I really want to hit that track with my TDI. If everyone is showing up with the aircoolers, the super will be screaming for mercy.

Pete
