My Mk1 2.0 16v ABF on twin 45 weber carbs

Off to the rollers at last. Can't wait to get

So after 12 months working on my mk1 she is all finished 12 months mot without any advisorys. Carbs all set up and now map fine tuned she made 176bhp which I am very happy with. Tuner commented that it is a very clean golf with a cracking engine. Nice to hear so bring on the show season as I missed the last one. Thanks all once again see you all soon.

I've got a mk1 5 door and it's so sad seeing all these 3 doors makes mine look so rubbish

So a few finishing touches today I have gone black on white sort of theme. Yes I am aware the plates are not legal but there are no police patrolling nowa days any way.

Just needs dropping a tad more on the coil overs but not to much as I dont really do the low and slow thing anymore lol.

Looks great mate

Cheers bud she is getting there now 

Looks good mate, I've also got those plates and haven't been pulled as yet.

Looks amazing now bud

So she made 176 bhp happy days.

176 hp is impressive. Apart from the 4 branch exhaust, twin 45's and aftermarket engine management system did you do any other mods to the engine?

No bud just a really strong low mileage engine with full seat service history. Tuner commented too saying really cracking engine.

New radiator fitted today as the previous standard gti top radiator hose fouled the carbs. The new one is a corsa rad and hose combinations from the scrap yard. Switched the twin fans to engine side as rad now sits under the panel. 

Some better photos.

Just read the thread and this is a sweet sweet car…. it's nice to see a clean car like this.. especially like your choice of alloys.

Cheers bud.

Now cleaned and polished.
