GTi-6 - ITBs & CAMMED Track Car.. LATEST VIDEO

[jammapic]

OK... so....

Got the car out of the mates' workshop, finished mapping it (227hp and 200lbft), then promptly MOT'd it and put it back on the ramp again. Lol.

Fitted a set of KSport adjustable coilovers, then stuck it on the Geo machine, setup camber, castor, toe etc before giving it a full corner weighting setup:



Finished fitting my electric PAS setup:



Also fitted solid engine mounts, solid rear beam mounts and sorted a few knocks and rattles from the suspension... then, finally... BROUGHT IT HOME!



We've lived in our new house since October, and this is the first time I've actually parked it on the drive here.

The drive home from the workshop was amazing. Was a little ginger with it at first, given it's been sat for a while... but when I did give it the beans, my god - it's quick.

Corner weighting the car showed up a few weaknesses, like the fact that 66% of the cars weight is at the front, and only 34% is at the back. However, cross axle is next to perfect.

Also, with half a tank of (stale) fuel, and a load of spare parts inside, the car weighs in at 984kg. I reckon without all the spare manifolds, spare wheels etc inside, it would probably be pretty damn close to 960kg.

Got the love back? Hell yeah.

Watch this space!
