A MKIV on an event poster

[French Frie]

A classic event will be organized  next week-end on the Montlhery track (a kind of french Brooklands , but still fully useable), and a MkIV is on the poster :
   
   
   
   It reminds me a car ... Mine [:o)] !
   
   The full picture :
   
   
   
   It was sunny... But it was last year, as the spring is more rainy than ever here !

Being in Poster & magazine cover shots is COOL!!
   The photo really shows how much better your 15" wheels look too!!!
   I hope it is sunny for you this year, we are at the CPOP the weekend after this, where it has rained badly the last 3 years, hopefully we deserve a break this time!

thanks for your comments, guys !
   
   Rob, I'll try to find one, but I won't be at the event this year, as the third "Cobra Days" are organized the very same week-end, in the center of France... last year, they were very, very wet as well [B)] !
   
   Nik, I agree for the wheels ! and the higher tyre walls help the ground clearance too, which is not a bad idea, especially with my custom made antiroll bar ...

[French Frie]

by the way, here's the event poster [;)]:
   
   
   
   beautiful roads, fine food & wines (in the evening only), and fun with friends ... who can ask for more (if sun is there) [:o)] ?

Oh God, JBo will be really excited!
   
   At least I can say I drove that car!
   
   Good on you for the poster and for enjoying the car.

FF & MKIV,
   I think that it is gret, great car that we've all enjoyed...not quite like CSX3327, but close enough through first and maybe second , for grenades.FF, congrats on your changes to the "red heAd"'

Hi Jim,
   
   Correction : I'm STILL enjoying it [:D] !  Yep, great car, great guys, great transaction between both sides of the pond ? Who could ask for more ?
   
   Today, grease points and brake fluid change (using eezybleed will ease a bit this, as the brake fluid tank is really badly placed)... It has to run for 1500 kms at least next week, on a quick pace [;)] !

[jbottini]

Remember to use the correct spec brake fluid and the greasepoints at top od rear uprights

[French Frie]

Brake fluid changed and most grease points done... But I can't find the top Od rear uprights ones :(! And my car is still squeezing at the rear ...does anybody have a picture ?
   
   I greased :
    the 2 U-joints on each half shaft
   The 2 lower upright bushings on each side
   The 2  U-joints on the driveshaft
   And that's all !
   
   No grease points on front uprights (lower or upper), nor elsewhere ...

[jbottini]

It is buried in the back side of the upright. Either take wheel off and look down from top of rear disc or find by touch and apply grease gun. Seems to me there were twice points on front of that car...memory at my age is tough though

[French Frie]

I checked in the handbook, and they do not mention this grease point :

   Very crafty referring to the owner's manual! [:D]
