  1. Interested in these if you still have them for sale?
  2. Hi Guys I have just got back from my first ever track day in the Golf. I ended up going to Oulton Park and I had an amazing time. The car performed really well as I was very worried that it wouldn't go around a corner well at all. It turns out it handles really quite well and the engine seemed strong for the whole day. I am planning on doing another track day next week, so im going to try and sort the few minor issues I do have. I am having some fueling issues which im going to try and chase out but other than that the car seemed really good. Here is a link to a couple of laps
  3. Right, update time!!! I decided to take the car off the road for a couple of weeks as one of the shocks was leaking. I started by stripping off the suspension and wheels. I sent the shocks to GAZ to get serviced with new rods and seals and decided to send the wheels to the powder coaters as they were looking a little tired and I fancied a colour change! Whilst the car was up on stands doing nothing I thought I would spend the time rebuilding the gearbox as it was getting a little noisy and I didn't like the look of the oil that came out of the l
  4. Hi Guys I thought I would do an update as I have found some time to do some work on the car and ive even managed to take it to a couple of shows. Because I was taking it to some shows there were a couple of things I wanted to sort out as they were letting the car down. first of all was the rear tail lights. They have been tint sprayed red previously but the light has got them and started to turn them orange as you can see So I masked them up and re-tinted them to get them looking half decent again Im pretty
  5. Hi Guys I thought I would make another video of all my runs at santa pod, so here it is! Golf Mk2 stage 3 supercharged VR6 runs @ santa pod raceway I hope you enjoy the video. The car has been running great lately, I'm so pleased with it. i will be going to a few shows with her and hopefully I will have it on a track in the coming weeks. I will keep you posted with how it all goes.
  6. Hi Guys I thought I would do a bit of an update as it has been a while. Well I got the new camshaft from schimmel, fitted it and to my amazement I didn't actually clip any valves. I compression tested it and everything was fine so I boxed up the engine, checked the fluids and ran her up! Since then I have been to bug jam and ran the car down the drag strip. I managed a best time of 13.4 seconds with a terminal speed of 108mph. I am quite happy with how it ran other than struggling with traction in first gear. I am hoping by changing the wheel alignment and tyre pressures I will be able to
  7. I have removed all the cam bearing caps and they are showing signs of slight wear. I am just waiting on a bore mic to check they are still within spec. Other than that I am just working on borrowing a leak down tester to make sure I haven't done any lasting damage to the cylinders. Just crossing fingers and toes that I can just throw a new cam in it and it will be all good. Worst case scenario it has scrapped the block and the head, if thats happened i think I will be calling it a day!!!
  8. Hi Guys I thought I would do a bit of an update. Obviously the car got through mapping fine which allowed me to really start opening up on the road. Even managed to have a play with a B7 RS4 and had the legs on it, I don't think he was too impressed!!! I got her 4 wheel aligned in preparation to RWYB at santa pod and then disaster happened.... Top end of 3rd and something just didn't sound right. I was hoping it might be nothing serious so i got it home and started inspecting. It didn't take me long to find the problem Needless to say I wasn't very happy
  9. I cant remember the pulley diameter off hand, but its the 8psi pulley. I am however not making 8 psi, from what i can see from the digital boost gauge I am making just over 6.5psi. I believe this is because I have increased the volume in the inlet and the supercharger cant push that amount of volume at the same pressure. I am thinking of machining the pulley down slightly to increase the RPM on the supercharger and therefore increase boost pressure. I have a 12psi pulley kicking about but I am apprehensive to use this as I would probably have to use a decompression plate.
  10. Hi Guys I have managed to edit some footage of the first drive in the golf, i'm hoping to get it on a track in the next few weeks and really put it through its paces Anyway I hope you enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9JjMuWlBqg
  11. You can see here where that 90 degree fitting feeds to on the other side of the supercharger
  12. Honestly I have been asking myself this same question for a long time. It goes to a braided line that runs around the supercharger and in to the pressure side of the charger housinf. I will see if i can find a picture that better shows you
  13. Im not going to lie I was a little disappointed with the figures. I managed 293BHP @ 6770 RPM and 230 ft/lb of torque @ 6030 RPM. Its only managed to gain 4BHP with the charge cooler setup. I have a 12 psi pulley that I am thinking of using to get the figures to over the 300BHP that I wanted but we shall see. Im hoping I might be able to eek out a few more horse power just with a few tweaks
