Hey Mats

always an upleaseant surprise.... ....was one of those days, that just prove to be more difficult than normal in many ways... yet the result overall was not bad.... but deep down, just all felt wrong.... must be biorithyms

Found pics of your car from Saturday . It's always interesting to note those twinspark 2.0 116 GTV are full dedicated lightweight race cars just under 800 kg while yours gets driven to the track and the red one is on full slicks . I think the red GTV of Lopez was only 3 sec quicker .

Hi Kev

Thanks for the compliment ,..... I think I should take my car to where "911" takes his, I can then lose 200kg...

Giuseppe, it's a specific service they carry out...ask then to fix your headlights. But be warned....

GTV TT never lost any weight, but the 2.5 GTV did. Only snag is I now have to put it all back together again, and with my luck I'll be left with "spares" body parts I can't figure out where they fit.

joemarts head lights work and the paint job is pretty neat its just you jose that has cars that need there head lights fixed

Latest update - just completed - Thanks Dawie... it is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just for interest, 202bhp on the wheels at JHB altitude (FROM 5500 RPM....all the way through to 6500!!!).... coastal - 201-203kw at Flywheel

AND Thanks Domi................I believe we learnt one or two tricks on the dyno\?

Hey share the info .... Turn my back for a second . Now you need to manage the diff smoothly and those front brakes . You have increased your power by 40%
I see different booster

hey... 46% actually... yes - needed a different booster, as the original no longer fit... (u sharp eyes)...

lets see what happens to brakes..

nothing much, i have a similar booster of a alfetta sedan in conjuntion with 305gta brakes, and it works like a charm

The brakes actually feel better...?? - maybe my booster was not "boosting"...

my brakes have a good feel, maybe a tiny bit more travel but i can still "heel & toe" and now my car brakes as it should

Yieee Haaaa.... Race weekend!!!! - looking forward to it.....Although weather forecast is for rain??? - will be my FIRST time out with New motor... so, should be exciting...

Can't believe I came from sunny UK to miserably cold and wet SA . its understatement how fast your car is Joemart when comparing to the other cars on the track .( and on its own) Must say Dawie did an excellent neat job on your car and its sound is music from the pit wall even with that one silencer box . Now you must put some real brakes in there so you can slow down . You probably got one of the fasted gtv6 around with the 10:43 box accompanied with those standard minuscule front calipers .
Driving your ML back home behind you from the track watching you hammer that Audi turbo was a lot of fun . Must say we had a good laugh . We could hear that motor even 300m behind you .
