Here are some logs I did today - the first time so a bit of a learning curve!




Managed to peak at 198 g/s - which is a figure I am hoping to improve on with my impending intake later in the year.

Any comments on the timing pulls.....dont seem too bad?

Are the AFRs ok?

I did a couple more runs but I aint keen on revving to 7200...it sounds awful! Gets quite strained!

PS - how do people put there logs up on here....I print screened from XL - then paste into MS PAint - then cut what I wanted - then Photobucketed.....=PITA!

Whats the best way of putting logs up on here in a table format..thanks.

Not exactly sure what channels Mike but I think you can just see at the top of the sheet where it says 'Group'...?

I always used to used the chanells listed on APRs website.  Gave 4 or 5 sets of very useful sets of logs to do (giving which chanels to select) Will take a look on there

Ive seen the APR site Mike  - quite interesting. I just selected the channels that logged the info I wanted.

Did a few tweaks for indicator DRLs and stuff too!

Brakes are finally on!

Fitted on my steel hubs at the moment as only have 1 ally S3 hub at the moment and not sure about all the added track!

They are cLear of the wheel spokes by about 3mm, so just enough! Funnily enough I have gained a good few mills wheel arch clearance than with the 312s as the thickness of the 'top hat' hub face is thinner on the Mercedes disc by quite a margin, so that may have bought me enough room to add the TT arms....to my eye knowing the 'stance' of my own car - I can visibly see the lesser width in track with these discs on....winner :party:

All is well apart from that I couldnt get the clips back in place where the flexi meets the rigid up in the arch, as I have fitted HEL brake lines (Thanks to DaveB for these). I will have another grovel under there - maybe need to flatten the spring clip in a vice a little..?

The pedal is good and hard and has lost that horrible grabby nature of the factory set up. havent stood on them as theyre bedding in, but it all looks hopeful!

Changed to a Pagid DOT 4 fluid aswell which has a boiling point of about 270 I think so should be a bit better too.

While I was fitting them at my mates garage we did a rudimentary camber measurement - and my thoughts were confirmed that since I fitted the Eibach springs the rear camber is quite high - 2 and a quarter to 2 and a half neg.

The front was a degree less at 1 and a quarter neg. So we are next going to bring the rear camber back up to 1 and a bit to make the rear a bit more mobile.

All good!

The Vw special tool makes the hub so much easier to split, half a turn of the tool and the hub practically falls off the strut and the strut ramains prized open until its put back together and bit/tool removed

bit lare for the tip tho lol

On my mk4 I took a bolt and ground down almost half of it halfway down the thread on a bench grinder
Left with a half circle shape at the end, inserted it into the gap on the hub and turned the bolt head to open up the gap.

Most  of the other mods are hidden away really...intercooler, exhaust, suspension....

Will soon be developing my intake so will be something to see then! :drinking:
