Wonder what it would have done with ARP rod bolts, looks like a rod bolt failure?

For $110 delivered of fleabay then its not worth me going out of my way because thats about what it would cost for me to buy and ship them each.

Anyone here used the clutchnet clutch disks available for the B110's?

Its wayyyy to low at the moment bumps and rubs all over and is super soft, needs at least twice the spring rate especialy in the rear,

Will start the search on Ozdat,

After a guy I work with came to watch the racing on Saturday his heart got set on the good old datto's... today he purchased a MINT condition 1979 Datto 1800J SSS which I think was fairly unique to SA as I dont pick up much by google,,,

Has a semi tired L18 in it with the twin SU's, motor runs like a clock but has some blowby after her 180 000km's.

I am gong to help him spice it up a touch to get her to perform nice in Marque class so I have a right hand man to help me fend off the Alfa's but I have never paid any attention at all the the L series motor so here I am asking for some help...

Nothing crazy needed, but I will change pistons and obviously do head work while I do the motor, anyone know of some slightly higher comp pistons the swap in easy? also what is a good size cam if one keeps the SU's (they work 100% so it would be a bit sad to loose them).

Last of all, what sort of power gains do the L18's make with a nice exhaust manifold, exhaust, cam, head work, bump in comp etc?

And yes the first thing we do will be to put new springs in and raize it a bit!

Build the motor right and youll find you wont need nitrous, maybe a can of octane booster these motors done right with some parts from Tomei and Bprojects flat out haul for their size.

I didnt buy it on ebay.

Had a damm good day racing, the new front springs made a night and day difference, chopped 2 seconds of my lap time on a 2.4km track. It now lifts the inside front clear off the ground by about 20-25cm

Cant wait for the swaybars!

Just let me know, you guys have helped us South Africans so much im sure the least we can do is send you some chin spoilers ha ha,

I got it passed or my Historic Tech Passport so I will fit it this weekend.

I dont see it in the FIA, only the over fenders and rear spoiler,,, am I blind?

VW01FS005 is the part number,

they split in the center so if you guys want to organise a group buy for 4-5sets I am more than happy to ship some over for you.
