Surely you'll hit that at combe easily?
The 4.75 crownwheel & pinion with close ratio 6speed box enables me to keep on cam in all gears hopefully now & will keep me peaked in 6th .
It should make the first gear / start at Presscott better also because this Helix clutch & pressure plate is going to be snatchy ..
When Sandy did my mapping on my car he upped the Limiter a bit ..
As Welshpug / Mei said with the current engine it should be spot on & my new engine Next year a 2.2 Sandy Engine will have a much higher Limiter ...
I'm doing the car ready for that engine really ...I won't feel 100% benefits now until then Piggy

If you decided you want some more hardcore seats i'll happily have your seats mounts and seatblet clips off you.
RE: Pic heavy 2yr Build Gti6 road & track - zx_volcane - 09-03-2016
very lucky to have fire extinguishers on you to save that, would have been absolutely gutting for this to have been toast
awesome updates as ever, top mounts look mint! looking forward to catching up soon

I'm already running one of these for the drivers seat Sam ...your welcome to have first Dabs on the pair when I change my passenger seat & weld floor bars in ...mine with the Stainless base mounts will bolt straight into the standard floor mounts & they have seatbelt clips on already m8

RE: Pic heavy 2yr Build Gti6 road & track - Day666 - 13-03-2016
Because of my fuel line fire my two fuel pipes had to go & breather hose to my Charcoal canister had to be rerouted sadly ...
Now fitted ...Red in the Picture ....Upside down breather vent on alloy p clip from tank now ...up above & inside drivers rear wing & under arch liner
Then vents out ...no pipework inside for this
My 811 PTFE fuel pipes are now running down the passenger inside exhaust tunnel.
To the right of the red upside down valve which cuts fuel off ...only needed if I turn the car over HOPE NOT ... ...it's now by the petrol filler cap cable operner ..ideal place for it to go hopefully ?
Bought a couple of these to blank my Brake hoses...
I've taken my Brembo V6 4pot Calipers off for Godspeed to totally refurb them ...
Less than £1.50 each delivered from fleabay ....not worth making anything
RE: Pic heavy 2yr Build Gti6 road & track - Day666 - 16-03-2016

Shweeeeet
RE: Pic heavy 2yr Build Gti6 road & track - Eeyore - 16-03-2016
what a system! D:
RE: Pic heavy 2yr Build Gti6 road & track - zx_volcane - 16-03-2016
every update a complete winner, fuel system is utter lush. Do the rubber mounts help isolate the noise from the pump?

Thank you so much guys ...its been stressful / expensive work ...
I'm really trying to get it finished in 2-3 weeks
Yes & car to pump also ...it's what they do in the planes ...vibration suppression ...the pumps are loud ...
Today ...I've decided now to move the on/off main battery isolater from ontop of battery ---to down between the rear of the seats for quick easy safe access while in harnesses ----in case of a accident / Fire or God forbid I'm trapped ...
RE: Pic heavy 2yr Build Gti6 road & track - Day666 - 16-03-2016
Finished making my new Satchell shift gator boot cover ...
This one clamps the boot & is more flexible ....hopefully this will free up some of the pressure when it's moving gear to gear ...the original supplied one is much to tight on angles
Made both clamps out of Stainless Steel only because I could....also welded the nuts on so I can fit it easy on my own from inside the Car
RE: Pic heavy 2yr Build Gti6 road & track - Day666 - 17-03-2016
Trial fitted the bonnet I bought yesterday it was the ones bought on here as a grip buy & the guy in Devizes / Robbie never got round to fitting it ...
it's good quality.
No better or worse than any fibreglass bonnet I've seen
The twin skin makes it very ridged.
It's Red gel coated but that's easy sorted ..
The only slight issue I'm unhappy about is where the two bonnet stays fix and when you close it it flexes far to much for my liking So I'm going to bond a couple of strips inside the edges of each side to spread the pressure...Thumbs up
My Aero catches will be fitted the weekend ...
Spray it also & Fit Ashs Water jets...
RE: Pic heavy 2yr Build Gti6 road & track - Piggy - 17-03-2016
Win! Glad to see one of the bonnets I organised is going to a good home!
Ive never had issues with the flex/bonnet stays...and the bonnet is up/down quite often

Didn't mean it sound like a big problem Piggy ....just flexes at the strut points a little ...just being to fussy ..well done on sorting it ....I was a little late on ordering one back then ...
I'm converting mine to take the badge ...I'm not a badge less fan ....
RE: Pic heavy 2yr Build Gti6 road & track - Connor - 17-03-2016

RE: Pic heavy 2yr Build Gti6 road & track - Piggy - 17-03-2016
Yeah I ask for a cut out... As i wanted a badge too

You don't need to cut the bonnet ...just unbot & remove the badge from the original bonnet & stick it to the grill
It looks near as dam the same Piggy !!!

Martin only does the main engine bay work ...Mechanical work Conner ...because he's amazing Mechanic
He will be fitting crank seals inc hockey seals /lightened Flywheel/ Helix Clutch/ clutch cable ...Rich W roller bearing bottom arms I've just picked up...hopefully two weeks time ?...hopefully as Martins crazy busy !!!

Well Piggy I found why my bonnet was flexing m8 ....see the Black down the edges ...well I stuck the panels together with my windscreen bond ....he missed & the twin skins were 8mm apart & not supporting each other ....
Gone to get sprayed now .everything dry fitted & tried including squirters ...

Thank you ...got a little tidying up still ...don't forget to post some pics !
I've fitted the Badge to the grill as I didn't want to weaken the bonnet ...now I've got a smooth bonnet but still have enough badge showing ...
Aero catches trial fitted & bonnet drilled for washer jets ...
Getting professionally sprayed same colour as car & should have it back before next Friday
