nice wayne there is some good times to be had out of your combo! good stuff.hypo-vw wrote:thanks Rod , but I dont think it was the second hand cinter-iron disc that you sold me that made it hook up so viciously on my first past . It was the stage-4 pressure plate with ductlie shoe that I spent an hour on refacing friday afternoon .RodPenrose wrote:Wayne , I new that the clutch I gave you was going to work well , but , I think you had better now get some bars to keep it down .

After the first pass the clutch lost its edge and was a lot better off the line for the remainder of my passes , later ruuning a 10.29@135mph on low boost .

had a great day at WSID after a very stressful week .... I didn't get time to dyno the oval after doing head repairs , so I decided to play safe and enjoy the day .
I ran the same tune as I had used 3 weeks before at the VWMA VW Showdown , but I removed the 21psi wastegate spring and fitted a 14psi wastegate spring to lower the boost .
The first launch caught me by surprise with the oval lifting the front wheels quite high .... I got off the throttle to get the front back down and as it came down got back onto it ..... to my surprise I was once again unable to see the track as the wheels had lifted again ..... all this happened in 1st gear which goes to show how well my 1st gear works as a 3.3 ratio with a 3.44 ring & pinion .
I still managed a first pass of 10.66@135mph , later running a 10.29@135mph
here is a video of that run which has been edited by Ben Ford ..... many thanks Ben
many thanks to all VW racers that made the effort to make it to this event , Matt Berry - Crazy Col - Henry Spicak- Courtney Hawker - Sebastian Nadjier - Ben Robinson - and a very big thankyou to Team WPVW members Ben Ford - Dean Penrose - Chris Bolton - Sue Bolton - Rob Bolton for their assistance before and during this event , because without their help we cannot put on a good showing as we do with our cars .
