Hey what cams are you running?
Maxx seems like good customer service. Nothing better than that with any company
Do you fit them 😬😅
Sounds more raspy
Thank you 3 years later...
Sorry dude, did I miss something, apologies if I did
@@kakepipeautomotiveno, you explained this better than anyone else ive found. Cheers!
P3 got a bit squirrelly around 2:42. Nice crossover pass around 5:43! You have any plans to make it turn in/plow a bit less? You still running 2 anti roll bars?
Yeah still running both! You will see in the next few videos I release! I made it turn too much Pahaha and caused a lot of issues! We are making a lot of changes for next year to make it dance!
P3 Nice! Good revenge there:) Exit from Nelson looked slow but you owned Coram. What tyres?
A052, should have been on Dunlops really
Did the change work on the cornering?
Yeah it helped a bit, so I think we are moving in the right direction! The car felt it could turn a bit more so I could get on the pedal better. I mean I knocked some time off my lap times Thats for sure! Phahah
once you found your rhythm you had some great aggressive laps
Yeah I think the brake line issue really stuck in my mind! Once I got confident on the brakes again the car came alive
Tired tyres are no fun!
Nope, that and failed rear wheel bearings and a brake line leak made this race hard!
Too much Gs on that wiper it couldn't handle it LOL
"promo sm" 💕
promo sm 🤔
?
Yes, and some footage from outside the car 😊
We are setting up some more camera on the car
You have to put more cameras !
Nice driving!!
I meant to ask, what suspension and anti roll bar setup do you use to turn in so nicely. Looks like you've solved the VR6 understeer problem.
The SQS diff made the biggest difference, however, gaz golds with very hard springs, uprated rear arb It still has a little understeer but wont be much
I was cursing at the 30 second mark. Right after the guy nearly ran the car off the road. Good work!
We're gonna need a rear facing camera now with all this overtaking malarkey. What's the rev limiter set to?
Yeap we are getting more cameras added to the car soon!
That was brilliant - who's the new driver? You nailed it mate great drive. I actually clapped!
Thank you!
K bueno ..... Una flecha !!
Did the valve tapping issue you had before you changed the valve springs, etc, ever go away when the engine warmed up or did it happen wether it was hot or cold? My 92 vr seems to be louder now when it warms up, a lot louder than it used to be
VRs all tap a bit of left a while (2/3 weeks) so that’s why I generally start mine now for 20 mins each week. Yes the valve tapping does disappear when warm but it goes quicker one you give it some pressure. The lifters are shit and ive had new sets that are a arse to get free, I have a draw full of deader or stuck lifters. Id suggest if it’s louder now, you might wanna get some new lifters in Bill
Thanks for the reply, I forgot to check back. How's that Corrado coming along, it's always something on these damn cars. I did replace the lifters but that was at least 10 yrs ago when a buddy of mine helped me change the leaky head gasket. It seemed like there was a lot of carbon on the valves when the head was off, could that also be causing some of the noise?
It looks really composed given the tricky conditions, well done. What tyres were you using out of interest? Nice to see some good strong pace in the car and an old 12V VR still being raced!
This season we are running A052. 215/45/17 Thanks for the nice comments! Hope you enjoy the content
That explains it, I've heard good things about A052s in the wet and this shows it nicely. Following the developments keenly and thanks for taking the time to make the videos chap! Nice to see you getting a shout out on Ruski's channel too the other week! 😂
Very nice man jealous for sure, if I could suggest, use the track its wide, use it and try not to scrub tires coming out of those turns. That is momentum racing so every time you scrub speed by over correcting and not utilizing the whole track your loosing time. But overall I can see your improvement in the car and your driving! nice run you had them guys peeking in the rear view constantly. I also think you can get that Integra.
Thanks for the nice comments! The car feels great and with a few more tweaks I think it will be on point! YeH after reviewing my footage over and over again I can see there is so much more track to use to help maintain my speed! The next video I’m going to dig into the fastest lap data from last year and this year. Hope your enjoying the content
In order to get better constructive criticism is needed. Its Kart racing just bigger, one scrub of wheels and your race can be over. Slower is faster find the best line to keep momentum this rule applies to all racing including RC racing.
That was a blast thanks! Great to see you progressing. The captions really help btw and how far did you throw that fkn wiper lol? PS I'd go for less tight cornering and more wide entries to keep momentum in the curve, not that I know anything:)
Appreciate the comment! Yeah I want to portray what I’m thinking while I’m racing, and what was happening during the race! Hope your enjoying the content!
nice work! I'm wondering though if bash bar mounting plates are not going to rust out, as I believe the frame is not sealed and will have water collecting inside
I did think that too! So as an after thought, i shot loads of wax seal behind the plate hahaha
What engine mods please ?
Sorry for the late reply. Within the engine we have only put a set of cams in. The engine internals are standard but refurbished with new OE parts to keep costs down, but still have enough power and driveability for what we aim to achieve.
excited to see the future of the build as I'm building my own VR6 'Rado also I'll be interested in getting that spoiler support
Will be soon, had another job that took over the CNC mill! Share your progress with us and if we can help in any way! Let us know
What breaks do you got? Stock? Tires width front and rear ?
Leon cupra R brembos up front with DS1 race pads, standard rear caliper (mk4 golf) and standard disks, red stuff pads on rear. Tires: AR1, 205/40
Where’s sernetterton 😂
Hey look, i failed at school and english is not a strong point. Im from the shire ;)
good job! looking to do this myself.
6 pot wow
WAY better exits with a lower gear - thanks! :):)
Yeah same such low grip and alignment being out (due to drive shaft change)
@@kakepipeautomotive You'll get that fixed no prob. Is it the end of the season now?
Yeah all done this season! Time to sort the gearbox, diff, wheels and tires! Oh and a decent spares package haha
Best sound on the track! Can I ask why not change to 2nd (and get engine braking)?
To be honest, some corners did deserve 2nd, but 2nd is mega short! At the next track, 2nd will be used alot
@@kakepipeautomotive Nice, good luck!
That stone at 3:21
Yes…. The car that did that got another three screens too! Not ideal
@@kakepipeautomotive has that track removed the grit traps since, for an alternative trap method?
@@hiemabedrog No, a car went off track and spread gravel all over the track at high speed
What’s the main difference from an obd1 and 2 engine
Slightly better diagnostics and the ISV is internal to the Throttle body. Apparently there are natural gains to be made from OBD2 but not that i saw. Also the TB is smaller than OBD1. This is why alot of VR6 turbo peeps prefer the OBD1 setup and its easier
Great project. Who is producer of E-pedal mount? Nice
Fables manufacturing in Canada, it fits perfectly, however i will be making alterations as its not level with the other pedals.
Hi✌ did a great job, very cool😎 now he's alive again 😎 good luck
Can you tell me why the RPM are bad from 800 to 1000rpm on my golf 3, vr6 2.9 syncro 140hp? Throttle body - does anyone knows the Ohm value from pins?I have problem,its impossible to settle the RPM. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Have a look at your Idle Control Valve. It may be faulty
Lower gears out of corners seems quicker than before.
Yeah i was finding 3rd just gave up a little.
Very nice 😎 like👍
Thank you
Smooth laps + sounds good.
✋ 𝐩яⓞ𝓂𝓞Ş𝐦
👍😎 like for video, waiting for more
really loving those on board video! thx again for sharing! awesome
Thanks friend, i wish the mount hadn’t broke as the angle would be better
Dude you gotta get a new angle for that camera. If it's a GoPro sick it on your head in front of your mouth. It's the perfect perspective
Yeah the mount broke, dont you worry, ive got something awesome coming
That was a good start, perfect lunch, too bad u did over corrected it but glad there was no major damage! can't wait for the 2nd race
Unlucky mert least you was ok... can't wait to see race 2
Ah man, that sucks, hope it hasn't bent anything too badly!
Na only cosmetic, the hammer came out and sorted it! We went back out for race two (uploading now)
What vehicle did you get the wiring harness from?
I believe it came from a late mk3 golf
