Arm Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I have been timing the run to work over the last few weeks. Cant seem to break the 13 min 25.38 sec barrier, what am I doing wrong ? Do I need more negative camber or softer spring rates. I 'm sure Windy can get to work a full second quicker. Why is that ? Even if I ignore all the red lights and early morning postmen on push bikes it dont make any difference. Please give me your winning tips. Can I fit throttle boddies to a Passat TDI ?

John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 The answer is simple. Fit 13" wheels for improved acceleration and weight saving and convert to live axle John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu.graham Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Ash, you need to get out of that garage more , the exhaust fumes have eventually got to you If I were you I would go to work in that nice looking red Ford siting on your drive, might take you a tad longer but at least you could always loose it enroute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 The answers obvious Ash, the Citroen/Peugeot guys reckon their deisel is better than the VW, so a quick engine change and you'll soon have the time down by at least .01 of a sec. Go on you know it's worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
