Project. It was a good price though. I think mk2s look better!

Pretty good I think. Its my first year sprinting and I'm only 5 seconds behind my dad who has been doing it for 7 years. We were double driving his car which was good, apart from I can't get used to his clutch (cerametallic clutch) which has a very binary on/off feel, which I find incredibly hard to get off the line quickly

That sinking feeling after hours of sanding down to bare metal. One last small section against the wheel opening rim...and find another complete bodge of a fix. Ugh.

Yup, I'm a moron! You were right all along! Means I turned my engine over the wrong way when I did my valve clearances :/ crap!

saalright, me and my dad had half an hour of feeling ' ******** have we timed the cam in wrong.. nooo!!' and between him and me theres 50 years of motorsport and garage experience.. everyones a thicko at one point! :P oh well! as long as it was around 15 thou when the right valve was compressed then it should be fine:)
Sep 14 2013 05:42 PM -
IainStallard
Yup, and plugs were out so there'd be no compression to damage anything anyway :P

Does it have a vernier adjustment on the side? 72 is most likely a 45DM which does not.

Sexy EFI set-up has arrived, now do I build that 1480 I've been thinking of?

it's a 1380 on an stroked crank. Still fairly thin walls but plenty strong enough.
