GFWC MK1 VRS Estate!

[Toxicvrs]

I'm so so so excited! Even if my car runs poop I really don't care.

I'm going to run rally spec fuel .... Only 5L in the car at s time Jerry cans for top ups = lightweight! Haha

Back seats out too?

Back seats out too?

Yep!

And I'm not joking about the fuel.

Brining a Jerry can! Haha

Trust me. You don't want to go too light. Especially if it's wet

[Dark_Hero]

Don't let it go under 1/4 full. Could suck up air when you go around bends

[Taylor93]

I'm keeping my spare wheel in but I've removed the rear seats. Will have about 2/3 a tank.

[gfwc]

It won't ever be too light because I've got the compressor and tank in the boot.

So need to make up for the extra that I'm carrying by losing it elsewhere.

As Charlie says, you never want to go too light on fuel.

The reason is because under hard cornering a road car can suck up a bit of air.

This can make the engine stutter and the short term loss of power can unbalance the car in the corner, leading to you having a moment.

I will be bringing my GoPro4 as well, so hopefully can get some good "chase shots" too.

I've got one of those car suction mounts to mount it anywhere on the outside of the car ... Not sure I trust it!

They are not allowed on track days, you'll need to use the "sticky foot" mount with the 3M adhesive pad.

That's a shame. I've got sticky mounts so I'll use them!

Its less of a shame than you're suction cup mount coming off at 100mph and your GoPro being gobbled up by a rampant Yeti.

No chance of that, it'll still be being rebuilt

They say it's ok for 130mph!

But I still don't trust it haha.

Would certainly make good footage though if that did happen!

Thank you so much for the kind words. Definitely a lot of time effort and money has gone into it, but it makes it all worthwhile when you get nice comments

I too am looking forward to seeing the footage!

Just want to add that since adjusting the clearances of the injectors, the car sounds so much smoother and less rough.

Still got a boosting issue, but hey ho

[faboka vrs]

Done any logs yet?
