It's a starter for Marulan tomorrow. Still have aero work and tuning etc. to do, but the L will be there!
Cheers, Greg

Hi Greg
We want photos. If you have a problem loading them send them to me info@clubvw.org.au and I will make them small enough to load.
What time are you getting there?
May the struts be with you, Steve

cool and yes pics are even better.......
YOU CAN post them easily enough..........
download the image resizer here....
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/learnmore/tips/es...
..then it's just a matter of a right click and selecting resize image from the drop down menu that appears, click on the desired size and they
will appear in the same folder as a smaller copy of the original
from there there just select the resized image after you click on the "add attachment" from the bottom of the screen used to post a topic or reply.

Not sure if that will work on my MacBook, anyway I haven't got time to stuff about - got too much car fixing to do!
Why waste time on this bloody poota, when I can waste time on my cars and racing!!!!!

Well, the debut track day for the L was a success! apart from a bit of smoke early in the day - mostly from residual oil in the exhaust system - went
very well. The car showed a lot of potential, and with some tuning on the engine and suspension, should be a real weapon! It' a lot of fun to drive -
if you don't believe me, ask Steve Muller.
Cheers, Greg
P.S Please don't hassle me for photos - I didn't take any.

Crikey hewpt, you don't want much eh? Maybe it would be easier do the photo thing! How about this for starters:-
Bought the car with 2.3 water-cooled Kombi engine, turbo, dry sump, MoTeC ECU, C/R Kombi G.box & ZF diff, 944 trailing arms & struts, 944
discs, roll cage etc. Have fitted 16x7 front wheels, 17x8.5 rear, Michelin slicks, and set up suspension for track use.
That will have to do for now - I'm getting tired.
Cheers, Greg
