Hi there, for some reason I thought you'd sold up?! Didnt you ghave loads of issues with your engine? Hows it all going now? Good to see another familiar name on here from the pitstop forum.

Hello all,
Thanks for your greetings! I recognise everyone's nick apart from Spaniel? Did you change or has my memory got to me? (sorry)
Well yep I'm back. I have been away visiting waters new as we have had a baby duckling.  :P

Sam
I did have some probs with my first build of 1341 but my latest seems...(I won't finish the sentence just in case!)

....It pulls well, really really well.... ;)


How are all your motors going? Please feel free to send me your specs!
Jase, you managed to sort yours yet?
Haysey, what you running these days dude?

Well I did think about selling up but decided I should do some final touches to my motor before I resort to this. I had spent too much time and money and learned so much.
Where I want to go is to get my car more refined! I am getting old.
I want to soften the ride a little and play with the diff settings. I also need to tweak the charger belt drive system. I have done the research and have 3 options that I can work through. (Did you know the M45 uses about 50 engine hp at 7000 rpm!?)
I am also designing my own subframe. This should all add up to a car that is better for everyday driving and I should still be able to use the torque when I need it. I may even get an atb diff should I find the subframe and diff work don't tame the throttle steer (plates locking/unlocking).
If it all works I will be getting a respray as the car is now a little bit rough in places.
Oh, and I have to fit my recaro's.

Can't wait!

Well that is enough ranting from me. I have to go to the nest so I'll catch you all later.

All the best

Andrew

Hi Chris,
Good to hear from you pal.

How is the motor? Yes I am still in Nanty but for how long I am not sure as "she" wants to move because she has a vagina..... ::)

So you still got the red G40?

I have not seen James since I last went over about 2 years ago and he squeezed 4 polos onto his land! Has anyone heard from him?

We should catch up some time!

All the best.

good to here from you dude

yep i still got the G40, nearly back on the road but will have a g-lader instead now. making it a bit slower and more sensible. but i have had a few cars since i last seen you about 2 years ago including golf rallye, golf vr6, mk1 golf driver, audi 100 avant 2.6 v6, audi a3 20vt quattro, mk2 golf gti 16v, mk2 golf driver, mk2 jetta tdi, audi coupe quattro 2.2 10v old type, mk3 golf 1.4, mk6 polo tdi, she wants a beetle next. none of these matched the pull of the G40 but the coupe quattro was a proper head turner and felt cool as feck driving it. nice sound to the 5 pot engine.

will have to catch up and perified, do you think he still got the lupo and the G40 saloon
