Did you notice any braking improvement after fitting the Willwood setup ?
Astronomical improvement.Quote:

True.
Did you grab yours of Chester ? I see he had some up for grabs earlier in the year.
Rear gets a little light, but it's got 2 front seats and nothing else inside.Quote:

Quick hit down the street and no more driveshaft on subframe action!
Hopefully the coupling didn't cop to much abuse. It's been sitting since Nationals waiting for the Engine Mounts, now we can have some fun.
Although thermo fans are still broken and thermostat housing leaks..
I also have some radial 4 pot front mounts, bias is off but you get used to it just before you go through the windscreen :P they work well.Quote:

Started getting it ready for the VW nationals a couple weeks out, change coilovers, remove airbags and sound deadening, APR intake, brake flush, finally wire up thermo fans, fix the leaking thermostat housing, replace the crack pipe and fit two sparco seats and rails I found on eBay one night!

Get to two days before, the finally fixed thermostat housing had caused the water pump to be the next weak link[emoji20]
Fortunately I had a new metal impeller pump sitting at home from my MK3 dream days.

Made it to the track and had an absolute blast.

Clutch was slipping prior but only in 4th, 5th and 6th thankfully never needed to be in the low/mid rpm range in the gears to make it be an issue.
New clutch and LSD on the way for the next round of fun.
