COMMENTS:

I brought the car from G40will (cheers mate ) and basically kept it clean, shiny and running. Got several things which i want to change upgrade as finances allow. Shortly be changing the wheels to 13 x 7 ATS classics to try and improve handling/acceleration. I don't have any interior pics as its usually too messy to take any! Seem to be racking up the miles pretty quickly but i find it so much fun to drive. Might be something to do with the smaller pulley its running!!!

Are you sure it's a 60mm pulley - that is small and don;t think it can be that good for the charger

vwmk3jon · April 23, 2009, 03:48:32 PM

not 100% sure. tried to measure it but couldnt get an accurate measurement without taking it off! Seemed smaller than 65mm anyway. Doesn't matter now as its ben replaced with an eaton!!

DMWG40 · April 23, 2009, 03:51:35 PM

I thought richie tried out a 61 or was it 62 and the charger would only last a few weeks

vwmk3jon · April 23, 2009, 04:00:32 PM

? I've never been 100% sure. All i know is it soon shifted, even with a boost leak! lol.

vwmk3jon · May 10, 2009, 10:23:11 PM

cheers. that was 2hrs of polishing the day before, a careful drive to springfest 08 and another hour or so getting it perfect.

I'll post some more stuff up as soon as i find 5mins. Need to downsize most my pics :-(

vwmk3jon · September 22, 2009, 06:06:40 PM
