New to the VWWA forums but a lot of you know me from Vortex and OzAudi.
Thought the signal to noise ratio might be a bit better on here than what Vortex Australia forum has turned into but we'll wait and see.
Here's a bit of info on whats been happening with my car.
I've had the car since new and it is used for tarmac rallies now with only the occasional drive on the street maybe once or twice a month.
I still have all the original parts I have removed from the car if I want to return it to near stock but it's unlikey that will happen anytime soon.
List of modifications and pics below.
Cheers Al

The car has now been scrutineered by CAMS and has been given a log book that allows it to be entered in CAMS / FIA sanctioned tarmac rally events in the M2C2 classification. Which is
M2 = Cars having a 0-60mph acceleration time from a standing start of 4.8 to6.8 seconds in standard form.
C = Contemporary 1998 Onwards
2 = Capacity 2501cc to 3500cc
The CAMS Modern Tarmac Rally rules are pretty strict on what you are allowed to do to the car so unfortunately any FI option is out as I will be entering Mt Buller this year and in the future Targa Tas, Sun Coast and the like are in the plans. There are still some options open in the rules for NA mods so I will investigate these but I'm pretty much at the limit of whats allowed for the Modern Class.
Next event is the Dutton Rally Queensland with Dave from Waxit co-driving again this year with me followed by Buller Sprints in November and maybe NSW Dutton and couple of smaller events in between depending on time and budget available.
Thanks to the following companies for thier on going support and excellent service.
