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.

    Cam's in now.

    Fired up no problems, had to wind the idle stop up a heap to get it to idle.

    Still idles happily around the 900 RPM mark but it is quite lumpy.

    ENgine seems louder when revving but deeper too.

    Throttle response is good, won't really be able to drive it until Sandown, I'll have to take my tuning tools.

    I collected the gearbox today, might get that back in tomorrow.

      Wavetrac box back in now.

      Replaced the alternator too, the bearings were getting a little noisy.

              Yeah, I've got a gearbox swap down to 2 hours now....practice makes perfect!

              My spare box was in the car for about 2 weeks and only propelled the car from one side of my drive way to the other!

                          Good day, only managed to get three rounds. I missed a round because the PA system at Sandown is pants and I didn't hear the call. Not happy about that at all, didn't hear the previous race called up either.

                          New personal best again, but only managed to knock another second off, but I wasn't too happy with my driving.

                          First round out was wet and real slippery, rounds 2 and 3 things were hooking up OK.

                          New cam is great, more power and higher up the rev range, think I'll continue to run it and get it properly dynoed again over Christmas.

                          Much louder in cabin with the new cam.

                          Best results were in round 3.



                          Videos when I get 'round to it.
