Hi I wont have access to the Club Vee Dub website soon, a new webmaster is taking over so I wont posting updates on my car on the club website. I'm in the process of moving all my build files to another server, so for the mean time I will post updates here. With the new engineering laws for modified cars coming along soon I thought that I should get my finger out and get things happening. If you haven't seen what I've been upto, I'm fitting a Porsche G50 transmission and 2003 Sti motor to a 1303, I've been working on it since September 2004. Steve Photo time. After seeing the success that everyone is having with smaller radiators I ditched the massive one that I used in my old 1302 in favour of one from an 1983 Audi 100/200, I also already had a fan and housing from an earlier Audi 100 5E. it bolts up to that later radiator OK.

Over heating after 4 laps ???

So you can only get 5 mins of semi spirited driving out of it ?

Hi

I never posted that I've fixed my over heating issues on the track. I heat wrapped the dump pipe and the coolant tube near it with exhaust wrap, problem fixed. They were close together and the heat from the dump on boost was transferring to the coolant tube making the motor get hot

I'm still getting the no text entered message. I'm thinking it might be when I copied and pasted a message.

My post the other day was written in the new reply window and it still wouldn't load
