  • In this video we find the missing power on the 16v and take it drag racing to shake it down. The car performed really well but I've got an issue with the gear shifts so that's something we need to address.
    Hope you enjoy the video!

    Excellent 1st run, car was strong (although not its usual times). Damn, 2nd & 3rd races went down to driver error (2nd run sounded like the you didn't drop the clutch fast enough and 3rd run you missed 3rd gear, well not sure what "gear shift voodoo" befell you that night! 😂🤣😅). Oooh man I really admire how you're so in tune (you're one) with this machine, you know its strengths and its limits, ADMIRABLE! You seem to have had a BLAST and that's the whole point if it, right? 👍💯

  • @VWPirates
    @VWPirates Před 29 dny

    Two tips. Don't drive it like it's a turbo, you are over revving the engine and get a set of rose jointed gear linkages and engine poly bushes. The engine tilts under load and miss-align the gear linkages.

    • @lowdl
      @lowdl  Před 29 dny

      1. It makes peak power at 6600 and holds it flat to the 7100 rev limit. When I shift close to the limit, it falls back into the peak torque which is at 6000 rpm which is where I want it. I could say alot more about don't drive it like it's a turbo but you're clearly a pro so I won't.
      2. It's a cable shift gearbox so there goes your rose joint idea and I've already had the gearbox mount poly bushed, the other two were already done.
      I get that you're trying to help but you need to have all the facts before you do that. This was completely unsolicited.
