Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Fastest in class, 8 seconds better than White and a VERY consistent set of times in your last session. You must be very happy with the progress, Peter.
Plus you took time to help me get home, again
I'm guessing they called the day soon after I left?Resident grumpy old fart

It can go faster, there's more to be gained in a better tune, better brakes and driver experience.Originally posted by kaanage View PostFastest in class, 8 seconds better than White and a VERY consistent set of times in your last session. You must be very happy with the progress, Peter.

Only got three rounds in, I don't think anyone was much in the mood after that Escort went into the wall.
As always, happy to help.79 MK1 Golf Wreck to Race / 79 MK1 Golf The Red Thread / 76 MK1 Golf Kamei Race Car

New videos are online
Round 1 and 2 are up but I'm not happy with the data sync, in one of them the speedo claps out.
I'll re-do them without the picture in picture which is causing me rendering issues.
I've got a polarising lens on the way for the gopro which should cut down on the reflections off the windscreen for future videos.
Round 1
Round 2
Round 3

Outstanding work on your race car. I love the attention to detail and all the little bits and pieces you have custom made. I've watched a few videos and subscribe to your YouTube channel, I cant wait to see more.
Cheers.Comment

Finally finished off the spoiler. It's taken ages to re-glass the ends and fabricate the splitter.
Fabricated a bracket to connect the splitter to the lower brace.
Splitter is made from 6mm marine ply.
Mocking up fitment.
Upperside of splitter is reinforced by glassing over some split electrical conduit.
Entire splitter is coated with fibreglass resin to make it even more waterproof and strengthen it.
I used tee nuts for all the fittings.
Too many hours of work in this. The ends were completely the wrong shape.
Finally looks right.
