What event did you do at Bedford? I went to a How Fast there, it was a great couple of hours. Weight saving on a MK 3, take the side impact bars out of the doors, they weigh heavy as does the sand bag sound deadening under the carpets. I stripped out a MK 3 GTi, surprising how much can be removed.
I would get the rest of those plastics out be much lighter then! And get some good springs and it will improve it muchly. Lol That bonnet made a world of difference though.
The shiny metal inside of the back box has irritated me since I got this jetex, and I don't want to wait for months for it to soot up (even if it would by itself which by the angle I don't think it would). So I got the VHT matte black spray can out and sorted it out before tea much better! Improved
