And she's all Built.....NOT bought.

 

Been hard at it over the winter, built my ABF for the Jetta, done an 02a CRU box conversion with Mk4 tower & shifter, & wide track front and rear... few pics below.









See you at Curborough.

Good skills that man. I bet that will be fun.

 

awesome looking car, liking the shift tower!

 

That Jetta is cool - if you need a spare slam panel, let me know!

 

Shift tower is awesome. Going to do the Mk4 conversion on my 02A setup.

 

Thanks for your kind words, ran the engine for the first time tonight, gonna try and get it dyno'd for the weekend. I'll be at Ultimate Dubs on Sunday on the Jetta owners club stand, come and say hello if your there.

idiot ?? whats the red handled thing for? brake bias?

 

Yip, Bias valve for the rear.

 

nice.... can it help on different circuits then? does sending more/less to the rear help trail braking etc?

 

It has six settings, full brake pressure fully open reducing to 40% fully closed. Helps to get the maximum work fom the rear brakes without them locking up, also should help in the wet. I've removed the rear brake load compensator in order for this to work.

I've not run with it yet, so I got a bit of learning to do.

 

Nearly finished it today, just got the finishing touches to do now.

 

Well played PAB - look forward to watching it at Curby
