V8Pete Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Since we last met, it's rolling on 309 GTI front wishbones and driveshafts for -ve camber, H&R springs and Koni adjustables. I put an Mi16 gearbox because my old one was vibrating in neutral. Ratios are for getting a heavier car with less low-down torque off the line so is quite fun. It still vibrates a bit though so maybe it was the clutch plate all along Also, the bolts holding the old box on had come undone a bit, perhaps amplifying it. But the (relatively new) oil that came out was black and yuck.... I = confused. Swapped front pads from side to side and went for a fang in the dark and wet. Seems to pull up a lot straighter. Was hoping it would pull right then I could bin the pads/1144 them. Should know more tomorrow on my mean brake testing off ramp providing I don't get stuck behind some n00b doing like 40 km/h. It's also the cleanest it's been since I bought it. I also bought some meke tyres to go on my spare rims but haven't had them put on yet.

V8Pete Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 An update! More 16v ITB goodness please.Heck. In the 5 years since Brad's post, I daily drove it for a year or so, then parked it for about 3 years and in late 2012, took a week off work and whacked an Mi16 in it (or mostly watched someone else put it in and made coffees and fetched beers). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Then I faffed around for ages whacking in some different shocks and trying to get a spring length/rate/ride-height combination I liked And bought some wheels And Cletus gave it a tick And I don't think I've driven it since. Haha. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was touching so I dropped engine down on the top mount and filed the shit out of the cambelt cover and then whacked it back up again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
