Dyno results and information coming soon. Tuned on 93 octane pump fuel. New EGT/air fuel gauge in pod on steering column. Tuned associated with gear (for example, wastegate pressure only on first gear, moderate power on second, and all boost on other gears).... and, I can change it myself with a lap...

Tonight's fabrication adventure once again proves to me that I cannot make a living making things. I just needed a basic (and temporary) bracket to hold the ignition switch and USB power. I think I swapped the entire front suspension in less time than it took to make the bracket. I took a piece of 2...

This morning was spent in the garage adjusting the height of the front of the car and installing the new darker shield on the helmet. I realized I did some overthinking on the front suspension. Duh. Rear is 26" fender lip to floor. Front of car should be 0.25" higher than the rear, so it i...

Adjusting the coilovers... Stock is 15.5” front and 15.25” rear measuring from the center of the wheel to the lip on the fender. I wasn't too accurate with the fender lip to center measurement. I just needed it to get understanding of approx where everything is sitting. I didn't change anything in t...

https://vermontracing.com/remote_posting/18t_project/1463.jpg No project pictures... just our two hillclimb cats (got them from fellow racer) Marley and Minion wanting to check out the mouse situation in the garage. Just some notes so I recall what I did and what I need to do. Reinstalled the skid ...

Installed the parts that I thought were needed replacement on the shifter. I have seen some videos that showed using a hole saw on the side of the shifter box from inside the car to be able to access the cable bushings inside the box. I opted to drop the exhaust (two V-band clamps), remove the heat ...

Not a productive weekend for the cars... I just finished some of what was on my Friday list. I went to the local junk yard (been going there since I was 15) to wander around the yard to check out manual window options for the Golf. Found out they don't let people in the yard anymore... since COVID-1...

Busy night... though, still a day off of my original plan this week for getting things done. Subaru STI needs its summers back on. I never had brake calipers that were worth cleaning... well, the STI is the exception. Cleaned them up a bit after removing the wheels for the winter/summer swap. http:/...

==== 2001 Volkswagen Golf 1.8T ==== Made some good progress, but realized my “to do” list that outlined goals for each night this week is on a sliding scale. Wednesday night showed completion of Tuesday work... hopefully Friday is a good day to catch up. Complete: - Buy new tires (mount them on Frid...

==== 2001 Volkswagen Golf 1.8T ==== Complete: - Buy a new 2.5# fire extinguisher Well... this one took an astronomical amount of time. The two new fire extinguishers did not work with the old brackets. Pretty easy solution for the unit installed on the main hoop of the roll cage, but the old unit “w...
