| Little more pink...  The observant amongst you will note the fitting method. Shopping list...  Also got fed up of the lack of tunage, so got the Stereo in properly, fitted the sub/amp and scavanged some standard 2 way speakers from a Megane Coupe which we're a perfect fit - including the wiring plugs!? Oh and the water pump started pissing water out in the week, so swapped that, while doing it i had to take the cambelt cover off, to find the cambelt tensioner totally collapsed, and the belt near enough hanging off, so fixed that too _________________ |

|  Chopped the fronts a bit more to match the rear a bit better, oh and seeing as the backbox was scraping, i chopped it off and made a side exit Also welded the springs into the cups to stop them dislocating everytime i come off my drive! _________________ |

| Ok just to keep you in the loop... and prove i'm not just painting things and cutting springs I've been deciding what engine combe to run, and I've settled (i think) on my final decision... My head is one of the best flowing 8v heads VW ever made, and it fits a 2.0 Block. One of the guys at work has a neighbour with a rotton MK3 Golf GTi, currently in the process of purchasing said car. So thats the block and head sorted, should see about 130bhp if i run the 2.0 Injection system, with a nice compression ration of 11.5:1 at just over 2000cc. Or i could do what i've always wanted too, and see just shy of 140bhp... bike carbs _________________ |
