Is there any way of fitting a 1800 carb onto my 1100? Not to make it fast or anything but the 1100 is sooo slow! 🙈🙉🙊

Which carb are you thinking of fitting, a Webber?
I don't think it will make any difference to the performance as you need to fit the right jet to the carb or it will just over fuel the car.
Best thing is to fit the 1.8 engine and carb into the 1.1.....

1988 Mk1 Golf GTi Cabriolet 1.8cc DX, K-jet. Daily drive. 317,000 miles and counting
1978 Mk1 Scirocco GLS 1.6cc FR, Webber carb. Weekend toy.

These engines, even at peak perfoemance are still really slow.. Engine swaps probably going to be your easiest/cheapest way to get more power. But you could fit bike carbs as some people do, and if set up right will give you more power but probably not much...

Probably not. A weber carb will make it a little quicker but you can expect much out of a 30+ year old 1.1 engine :D
