Well, bit of an update, took it to castle combe Monday. Car performed great with just a minor fault, fixed a few issues we had last time (gearstick etc..)
Car is completely different now since the updates, drives awesome.
Also had it corner weighted and weighed anyone like to guess the weight?
Bonnet is now Kevlar thanks to ash over on gti6 forum. Top mounts seem to be holding up ok. Underneath has now been painted black.
Power steering did eventually boil over towards the end of the day, so my arms were dead by the end of the day... going to look for a standard power steering setup shortly (as we got rid of our cooling lines).
and for my benefit also,
Soon to be done on the car:
Cambelt,
oil change,
spark plugs,
oil cooler,
F2000 spoiler (hopefully),
Flush water system.
Future:
Rear beam built all the tricks etc.. 3 deg camber
Roof sprayed (lacquer peal)
Re-do Heat wrap
Give it a polish for the first time since we've owned it
If I get chance later, I'll put the videos up of my awful driving
, I also got some pictures off the photographers there so will upload them.
