need for speed part 2
this time we visited räyskälä airfield, test & tune - drag races. But with the karmann ghia, as i haven't been able to test it at the strip at all. well it was a cool day, but disappointing for the time slips. as my best was the first pass. 14.1 @ 166 km/h. the engine shakes a lot, tires loose the traction... at the first attempt.
second is worse, doesn't go to the second gear as the engine shakes more. so the time was baaaad.
third pass was easier on the start, as i wanted more grip. but, at the second gear clutch was toasted, third gear same, and the fourth too. that was around 16 sec.
but now i know that what i have to do. for the next season. a lot of things. :-) will see. the day was one of the best of this year. as was the kiikala burn out party 2025. i need more practice, and a good plan. But fellow vw enthusiast, you need to get to the strip. there's not many. :-(

2 hours job in 3 days. the wbx clutch
Ok, you would guess that changing a clutch cable is easy job, but this one was horrible.
as there are many wires, brackets, and stuff in that place where the wing-nut is located.
everything else went like a charm, but getting the wing nut back to the wire was pain in the butt.
had to make a special tool to be able to tighten the nut, but now there's the 2 cm play in the clutch pedal, and its working better than before, but a new problem came, as the exhaust took a hit from a door stopper, and baaam, the header is bent again. ill try to fix it tomorrow...
