thanks Paul. thats the plan. i bought these ;



schrick 268/276 cam and lightweight vernier pulley, double platinum spark plugs and a 65mm supercharger pulley.
should go very well with these fitted and a proper maping session. i'll know the bhp for the first time hopfully shold get 200bhp? that would do me.
i'm not bothered about getting massive power out of it. as long as it is drivable really.
i think i am getting old. i really want to raise it up and put my steels on it. nice little sleeper

      Amazing. Keep the pics coming.

nice one rich hopefully sort your problem

well the car got picked up last week by james at dubforce tuning. hope to pick it up next weekend but who knows? i miss it already

 

Damn that sucks.

thats it for now. i'll post more when i change something else

thanks for looking!

Love the fact you seem to use your MK1 in all weathers and it sees the road and is still an awesome show car.

Congrats mate. She's an awesome MK1.  

wow wow wow wow wow!!! SO NICE!!!!  

Totally agree with Andy, I'd be scared to mine out when it snows, or even rains, for that matter. She's a beauty mate, can't beleive it's the same car on some of the pics.

Thanks guys. It certainly has changed a lot over the years. It does get used too. That's what cars are for if you ask me.

Well it has been away at the tuners for nearly a month but it feels like forever! How I got through 18 months without it when it was getting the engine conversion I don't know! All these pics make me miss it so much. I've had a lot of fun in this old car. I learned to drive in it. Been on holiday in it. Been the designated driver for my mates in it. Took my gf on our first date in it. Went to my first car show in it. Won my first trophy with it. Now I miss it. Can't wait to get it back. Next summer is going to be awesome!.

Really missing this now. Hopefully should get it back soon.

When is she due back mate?

Well a few weeks ago. The chap was aiming to have it done for this weekend so I could have gone to the filming meet today. Shame as I live so close! So now im hoping to get it back in 2 weeks. I'll have to run the charger in for a couple of hundred miles again as I have had it ported out even more .
