    Any updates mate?

    Would love to know how the engine is holding up?

    Any videos of it? I am going duel webers on my flat top 1600 (Heron) soon.

    Cheers

        Hey Gang. Sorry for the silence, had a bit of a set-back. November 11 last year - yep two weeks after our successful running of the Nat Cap Rally - I had a stroke. Major bummer!!!! Luckily I am still kicking but my right hand side is a bit stuffed and the concentration is decidedly suspect.
        So no rally for me until further notice.
        I took the Golf for a run last weekend (just a few k down the road and back) , it sounds so good.... I really miss it... stupid brain damage! Stupid hypertension!! But I will be back!! (it might just take a while)

                    It's baaaack......
                    Finally fed up with sitting watching the action I decided that enough is ENOUGH!! Time to dust of the Golf and have some fun.
                    Unfortunately the 2 years sitting have meant that some of the rubber seals on the webers are stuffed and DynoTune Mitchell have been tasked with the re-tune.... BUT she runs and feels great on the road. Next stop; getting my CAMS licence back in time for the next Khana.

                    Charles.

                            A quick update then;
                            The webers have been a total PITA! They have been leaking fuel over the hot exhaust and God only knows why the whole thing hasn't burst into flames. At last check, Grant thinks he has found the problem and is close to a solution - I will know more next week, so fingers crossed.
                            I cannot thank Grant and Michael enough for their willingness to get to the bottom of this, Dyno Tune Mitchell will be getting some Golfy advertising space for sure.
                            Once it is back, the next stop will be back to Canberra VW Centre for a gearbox swap. For the past two years I have had a close-ratio 020 with brand new KAAZ plate LSD just sitting wrapped in a blanket in the shed. This cannot be allowed continue!
                            I have ordered a clutch kit from GAP in the USA so hopefully the timing will work out about right.

                            Add to all this getting my CAMS licence back and the next few weeks are looking pretty busy.
                            Still no date for a public outing but there are a couple of "test" days next month that I would love to get to....

                                Just had a call from Grant.... NO MORE FUEL LEAKS!!!!!!
                                I can't express how grateful I am to Grant and Michael for persevering with the Webers and taking the amount of trouble they haveto make sure it's right.
                                Pick it up tomorrow, then off to Pete's for the gearbox swap....(of course I will have to wait for the new clutch to arrive from GAP first)
