    Seeing as a felt like being a recluse tonight I just jumped in the garage.

    My sloppy gear changes and the box's constant refusal to downshift properly has been winding me up big time recently, so gear linkage came off,

    Sugar cube was seriously worn, it had even worn a hole in one of the top corners! So I nipped down the edges flush and rotated it 90 degrees. Also had to use a washer as the wear on top was causing lots of back and forth play in this arm which was no good,

    Then it all went back on, at the same time I pulled the old bushes out and fitted my new solid ones.

    After taking her out for a drive, everything felt so much different, down shifts didn't argue back, solid gear changes and the box feels 1000x tighter than before. Well happy!

    Oh and this happened, should keep intact temps down a bit more. Spray covers the whole centre of the intercooler but you can't really see it to well here.

    I want a cage!

    With the dyno issue, could you now just raise it up a few turns each side, dyno the car and then turn it back down? Shouldn't that leave the geo unchanged? I did a similar thing with adjusting preload and height to compensate. So overall no height change, and geo felt the same and no abnormal tyre wear

    Could do mate, but for the hassle of it all it's easier for me to just book in a power run at tdi South on there hub dyno :)

    That forth picture makes it look mean as hell! Love this build so much

    Thanks mate :)

    Haven't updated this in a while,

    since the cars been back on the road just been enjoying it, have been waiting for some little issues to pop up with it after the re-shell. But touchwood so far there's not been one problem :)

    She made 317bhp on the dyno print out this time. Reason being that (no BS I promise) was due to problems with wheelspin on the dyno and my ride height, from what I was told if she was pulled down anymore then my intercooler would have been smashing the floor.

    So I'm just waiting to get her on a hub dyno now to see what the accurate new bhp figure is, as I really don't feel like all the hassle of lifting the front up and ruining my geo setup.

    Anyways, she definitely feels a lot quicker, but all the power is at the top now, lost a lot of torque with the new inlet and it is definitely noticeable. But spinning through the top of 3rd in the dry is still fun :lol:

    Also running just a touch over 1.7 bar now as opposed to 1.6.

    In regards to the cage, my god what a diffrence. Stiff isn't the word.

    Not sure on future plans, just enjoying it for the minute :)
