Very budget track build

Exactly, a great way to hide paint defects :grin:
Yeah it sure gets driven, hard!
Some of that dirt is the dust from the Sahara but mostly just road dirt from neglect :grin: I'm more interested in how it drives than how clean it is but yeah, eventually blasting all that crud off will be satisfying :smiley:
RBS:
Maybe not in the next couple of weeks…😇 it’s crappy weather!!!

Nothing too exciting going on...
Changed from ECP's finest plugs to the recommended NGK ones. Nice little throttle response improvement too.
Brake fluid change so we are back on the race stuff. Motul RBF 660, the best value race fluid out there in my opinion.
Ended up selling my VP racing fuel jugs to a local lad with a very nice stage 2+ ED35 after my local fuel station with 99 told me to get lost with those unapproved plastic race ones, so old fashioned jerry cans it is then!
Seems like yet another injector has died lately, even after R Tech cleaned them a few months ago... my luck!
Got bored today so made a radio blank, which I will eventually use to mount a fire safety stick ,(not msa approved but looks like a great fire safety solution) and the ESP button when the centre console ends up coming out. It could probably do with being painted black as well.
My GTI is late enough that stability control is never fully disengaged. So I was able to alter it the other day on the OBDEleven app and alter it so one second hold is TCS off and 5 seconds hold is everything off. No more scary ESP moments from now on then!
Next she is off to Retro Resus for a couple of weeks for various jobs and corner weighting.

Yeah those plugs are good :happy2:
Interesting about the ESP and OBD11. Not seen anything in VCDS that can do that.....not that I know where to look :grin: To be fair, ESP has saved my arse a few times on some snow/ice so I leave it on :grin:
Our VW chum Humble Mechanic has a good comparison video, but in a nutshell, he reckons you need both to do everything, more so on later cars.

Found it by accident to be honest! Yeah I did watch that the other day! Would get vcds if I had a laptop to use, work would have me shot by firing squad if I downloaded it on the work laptop :grin:
