Looking good mate! Where did you get the R888's from? How much were the set of 4 if you don't mind me asking as I'm interested in a set myself?

Hey mate, thanks for the encouragement. I got the r888 from taleb tyres Sydney. They were brand new manufactured this year. They were $920 a set of 4

I think it will be ready this month, but unfortunately I am overseas for VW nationals I would have loved to be there, miss it by a couple of days. I think my first bit of racing will be at Wakefield or Huntley hill climb

Col, i have a box of parts in my garage now, let me know when u want to pick up the steering rack etc.

Another update: Secret style bonnet pins being installed, they flush mount and are lockable, rather than having a pin sticking out. Quite a spacious engine bay now also The box of spares i got back was so heavy, at least 50kg from the car that it didnt need. would be interesting to weigh it after all this.

You're not running it without an air filter are you?

Your running a serpentine belt set-up?

Is that a Omp front brace? If so how did you get it to fit? Is there spacer between the brace and the strut tower? I have the Omp one and haven't installed it yet as it fouls on the Master Cylinder and slightly on the air intake tubing. It was also fouling on the Overflow tank till I lowered its mounting.

Yes, it was oxy? heated and bent to fit over the master cylinder, and yes there is a spacer made up to go over the strut towers to give it more clearance. The underside of the bonnet had to be shaved off since it sits higher than usual.

Good luck mate

Flush mounted bonnet latch pins installed and the old hardware removed today. Few wiring bits and pieces to go and then it will fire up
