Cheers dude


Tyeness will confirm that there was a massive smile on my face when she started up and ran like that

Picked up a sheet of carbon fibre to make up a switch panel and to cover the hole left by the heater coming out.

Just got to wait for my new linkage to turn up...which should be tomorrow or Wednesday.

Got to make some brackets up tonight so that i can prop the back of the bonnet open for a bit more air flow.

and a big thanks to tyeness and Foolhardy for their help at the weekend...it is much appreciated

You gonna be cutting your scuttle away to make abit more air flow to them m8?

sounds awsome mate. 8v's are the future

Smiles all round, it's true!

No worries on the help front fella, glad my tiny girlish hands could be put to use. Got mad exhaust-wrap rash up my arms now

Spurred me on to order rebuild kits, many weber books and price up Audi bits

Whatever you say ladies

Cant wait to see what times you get down the pod now mate. What ya thinking? Low 15's??

I can't wait either a week Friday and i will be finding out

Am hoping for mid 15's...low 15's would make me a very happy guy

Linkage has arrived...will be fitted tonight

this is you insnt it mr mike?

Certainly is Sir

Have done better burnouts since then

Hopefully will get the Jetta out on the road tomorrow...bit fooking sick of buying bits that will fit and then not having them fit. The new linkage looks so much better but the linkage arm to the carb won't allow the carbs to open more than half way as it fouls on the throttle arm of the carb.

The only thing that is keeping me going at the moment is the thought of the sound and the quicker quarter mile time

The Jetta better be quick once these bits are sorted...

36hrs and 18minutes and counting until i need to be at the rolling road...could be a long night tomorrow!

You can do it mike

Gimme a tex when she's up and running. Probs taking the truck work on friday so i'll pop in after if theres good news

good luck mike it will so be worth it

Will drop you a text when i know the figures and everything is running fine...might even take you for a spin to convince you to lose that spare 8 valves you have

Was just a bit fucked off to be honest last night...it's turning out to be the same as last year cutting it really fine...think i'm just getting annoyed cus last year i missed out on racing at Bug Jam...but i will make it.

thats the attitude mike cutting it fine is the fun part

not so sure on that one dude...would have prefered to be having a drive last night Want to get out and hear those carbs on full throttle

I don't know why i bother worrying...the gents from Tinkler's have come through again and fabricated a linkage bar that works

Solid mount is here too

Bring on the rolling road!

Sweet m8, glad it all came together

Me too dude

Thanks for the support everyone...just hope tomorrow goes ok now

Sounds sad but i'm looking forward to see how your linkage looks Matty

Haha me too with yours dude, i have seen mine and it looks kinda similar as we couldnt get the twin cable to work, but hes got rid of all the parts that as coursing slack and twisting and has fitted better 1s and wire locked everything like he does his race cars so things dotn vibrate loose.

Tinklers always save the day. True fact. Can't believe the new linkage was still no good... what a waste of time!

Glad it's running fella, looking forward to my passenger test run on Sat

Just ordered some MOD strength loctite for the linkage on the carb throttle arm...that should hold it
