Nice one Sam, I learned a long time ago that if you have a mushy brake pedal and all of the hardware is in good condition then you need a larger bore master cylinder and 20.64mm to 23.81mm is a...

Good question Sam, the simple answer starts with the stoich, at 1 lambda Pump 98 is 14.7 A/F whilst E85 at 1 lambda is 9.8 A/F. Around half of that extra fuel required (33%) is due to the amount of...
Nice work Sam, like you I have had zero success with pump E10. Using pump 98 as the base DIY E10, E20 and E30 have been much more worthwhile, but E85 is my preference.

I was informed by my local VW Dealer yesterday that the current delivery on my GTi (Blue Metallic + Sound & Tech, no sunroof) was January 2023. I'm tossing up whether to confirm the order or move on...
Hi Sam, suggest you have a chat to Justin about the right oil to use in the transaxle with LSD.

On the run flat tyres, I replace them on Day 1 with "normal" tyres, cost is next to zero as the tyre retailer resells them. I also have a BMW spare wheel & tyre (skinny type) that I bought from a...
Thanks for that, it's been bucketing down here in Sydney and my trade in is covered in mud and road spray, maybe this weekend. I'm looking at similar colour and spec minus the sunroof.

I'm going to my local VW dealer this weekend to get a trade in valuation on my Mk5 Gti 1.8 and if the price is right order an MY22 model GTi. Deliveries are supposed to start in May, so my thinking...
Plainly something is not right, my best suggestion would be to try a suspension expert. Whereabouts are you located?

Hi Sam, I wouldn't worry about the extra capacity from the elbow, too small to notice.
I have been using ARP head studs for over 3 decades, the machine shop I use more like 5 decades, and I can't...
VW uses different terminology to Nissan but the basic turbo engine functions are the same.
As with Skylines I'd always start with the simplest problem, vacuum hose failure of some kind, it's 7...
Get used to it guys, all the manufacturers being forced into EV's have to recoup the huge costs somehow. To meet the crazy Euro numbers the manufacturers need to sell EV's and EV buyers will not pay...
An LSD in FWD car is so much more worthwhile compared to an LSD in RWD car.

Interesting, we don't run a cooler or a bypass valve, straight from pump to rack and return, never had a pressure drop off. It does get a pretty good workout on the warm up laps. Unlikely that any...
My replacement wasn't pre filled, it was held in the dealers for 2 weeks waiting for hydraulic fluid to arrive.

The VW mechatronic hydraulic fluid is made by Fuch, they just put a VW sticker on the container.

There will be left overs, fronts and rears, guaranteed.

I thought it might be Trackschool.
IP are running this weekend, Production Cars was last weekend and Sports Cars the weekend before.

Who do you do the track days with Sam?

We have been running the same Astra pump in one of the cars for 4 years, never had an issue with it, what is the problem?

I like "Attack Mode" and the short cut for "Lane Assist = off"

We are running as a support category for weekend #3 (Nov 13/14) of the Supercars month at SMS, so there will be some 225's and 205's before and after.

Big mistake letting the Dunlop DZ03G's get to 35 psi, that's blister territory. The pressure rise indicates how much more heat they were generating, which = grip. Plus bad for lap times, they would...
I haven't done it as yet, I have had a bad run with flat tyres, one at time spaced out with a few months in between. Currently I have 1 original, 1 that's about 18 months old, 1 about 11 months old...
The advantage of studs is that they enable more accurate/consistent torque setting, unlike bolts they don't twist while you are tightening them. Studs are stationary during nut tightening which means...
