I think i did ok with it. I used alot of steam with a clothing iron with a wet microfiber towel to protect the carpet.

I’ve continued working on my carpets... I cut a large piece to replace the rear seat.





I shaped the carpet over the inner wheel arches using an iron and a wet microfiber cloth. And lots of steam... Once the binding was sewn on, they were glued into place.








I continued with the pieces at the front.







Comparing the old carpets and the new... I always thought the old carpet "wasn't that bad"





At this point, it’s starting to look pretty fresh.





Instead of doing it exactly like the original around the heater outlets, I bought the chrome rings that fit the earlier models... I polished the visible ring to bring out a bit more shine.








I bought beige kick panels for under the rear seat, but I wasn’t completely sold on the color. Considering going with black instead...





I still need more binding for the carpet but the still has none and the website is also out of stock..
Other than that, I’ve modified an engine stand and started tearing down a gearbox that was donated to the build.
The gearbox is a (small nut) Split Bus gearbox that I’m planning to strengthen a bit internally and flip the ring gear.







I’ve started tearing down the gearbox and so far have only removed the drive shafts and reduction boxes. What I can say for certain is that I won’t be reusing the fulcrum plates that were installed..

New lower price

Thanks. I'll take a look.

It looks great
A good track requires a little more from the engine since it goes slower
A few kg in the front will lift less and you will drive faster
With good and bad tracks, you usually change the weight distribution
A P.S. if you were to come to Malmö 2027 at SF 4, they have a track that is NHRA class on the grip

Hi guy's.
I did run at Santa Pod for the VW action. First time at the Pod for me! What a track!
I didn't do any very good run, just a 11.80, which is slower than what I expected, but that's life.
I have a good video of how the car launch, and it launches well, better than at Clastres track.
Here is a video of a launch at 5.500rpm.
60ft always are in the 1.52-1.56

https://youtu.be/jLulFYVj3iM?si=I9V79oGh5WMP6rs7

I would have like to test to launch increasing RPM by 200 to see if I could find that sweet spot between  RPM and clutch slippage, but I spend time chasing an annoying oil leak.

What do you think ?
