darron has a billion torque now, so changing gear is optional

 

seriously sounds like a fun car to do big skids with

What about one of those very short, expensive shifting mechanisms that a European Speedster uses..? It appeared to give  shift speed not a millions miles away from a sequential (in reality it probably isnt, but appeared very quick..)

 

If I can remember the link I'll post it up

Yeah that one..

[darronwall]

were just having some cables made up as I want to get some hours in befor we think about taking it further,small oil leak to sort and need a higher pressure cap for the water tank

 Also need to get it to run a little hotter

[darronwall]

new cables made up,some new relays here to let the water pumps run on for a bit,cant wait to get this thing out again!!!

[Duncan VXR]

Bugger Sorry to hear

[MAXR]

Darren's car was very quick at Snet. It's such a shame the engine let go. Hope he get's it back & running again soon.

Anymore know cause of failure?

[Nev]

Poop, bad to hear this. Faulty injector/fueling perhaps, as aren't those engines meant to be pretty tough?

its also got meth WI setup

[Duncan VXR]

Had it ran out Steve? Wi very good and reliable if setup right, def needs failsafe / good warning on whatever the application. On the tfsi you can tweak the oem ecu to change map when it runs out Bmw have used wi on the m4 to good effect DG

Love the timing of this. Are you sure you hadn't heard after it happened in front of a track full of VX's?????

 

It was an unproven/unknown engine. It will be back on track better than ever before the years out.

[The Batman]

I did think that aswell George A bit like coco and the Elise thread

[Duncan VXR]

Nope personal situation means I don't get on here much at all in any depth and or speak to anyone socially even close friends atm. I have my eye on a few car builds / conversions and loving my vag stuff and putting into non vag cars have a genuine interest in this is one Feel for Daz, not nice when stuff does not work Was just seeing how it was going, crap timing on my behalf 😞 DG Sure it will get sorted

[darronwall]

Yes it holed a piston,prob because we didn't bother to put any water meth in it,not too bothered as I've now got some fancy pistons and a new block to rebuild it with (it ran standard Pistons befor) and we will be on with it soon The only other problem that showed itself was the gearshift is woefully slow once the car gets hot,down to the cables I am sure,and I think a bigger cc rad is needed It will return
