6pm on a Saturday??

Er, apart from local forum users, no; no-one off of the top of my head. Out of the lads going tomorrow, is there anyone that has a turbo? I assume the actuator is not an Impreza specific part (Out of touch I'm afraid) Maybe if someone has an Evo/GTR etc, they may be able to help.

If there were more time, I may be able to call someone or do something but it's just too late for me to be of any use with that sort of part.

Really sorry. Have you asked on Scoobycity mate?

Yeah, thats what i thought... if only it had happened mid week there would have been a chance to get the part and fix it.

I think Jon is going, with boost or not, it'll still be a hoot!

I've got a spare from my old Zen 20G, But the brackets are different. And all the guys I know haven't got a spare either.
Sod it, I'm going to turn up anyway. I've been looking forward to this for so long and I'm not going to let my understeery jap tractor ruin the day. Even at the dizzy heights of 10psi max it should be possible to have a giggle

Had a great day at Marham today, very well run and good class of driving in general. Was very much standard marham rules with the exception it was run as an OPL this time which worked very well. Morning was good with a fairly cool track and good grip generally, quite hard on the tyres though! The tyre man on site was great, its his own franchise so giving up his weekend for charity, top bloke, was spot on and very busy.
Afternoon saw the track temps getting hotter and the vr6 was suffering badly from over heating the tyres, we'd also now changed the brake pads to a more track based pad due to our first set

That sounds great Ian, nice one. How do you find the top end grunt of the VR6 on that long straight? What sort of speeds have you pulled on there (indicated or otherwise)

vr pull's 140 (speedo) all day long down the straight, just run's out of rev's. Had a few plastic window issues when going over 120 though. don't think enought glue was used! Lsd next for it. also think the heavy lump is causing a few issues but we're getting there with it. extra 1.5 extra rear camber has helped.

I'll ask you some questions on your project thread to save sodding this one up. Glad it went well though........Viva la Golf
