Mk1 golf gti, 2L 16v, R1 Carbs. Nurburgring Nordschleife

hi mate,cars looking great,just a quick one ,which throttle body did you use with the scirocco manifold,is it just a kr 16v one...

Cheers


The throttle body is a standard KR item. I tapped the holes on the side to bolt a modified throttle cable holder in place.

1.5in lips in paint  8)



Then after work, i shot down to duxford to collect my centres off young curtis(pinstriper). His mate dan did a great job making them

Had my golf rolling roaded today    

Peter Baldwins in wimpole, cambridgeshire. Very professional and i'll definately be using him again in the future.

My fueling is now set correctly and so is my timing.

Also found out that my TB was'nt fully opening due to the mk2 cable i've used. I've now adjusted it so it just about works, i'll look into a better set up when i get 5 mins.

Timing is as advanced as what she'll start at, there was a few more ponies but she would'nt restart so we've gone for a happy medium. Might take its toll on the old mk1 gti starter but i have a recon mk2 16v jobbie in the garage so i have back up and if that fails, i going to fit a larger diesel unit.

Anyway, i was asked roughly what i thought the power would be and i said 150 soooo, when he said it was 164bhp(fly) i was well happy  :mrgreen:

After a short run down the road and back, i could definately notice the difference made.

Money well spent  

Did'nt get a vid of the run as it was me driving it on the rollers as the fella's apprentice

Here's a pic though



Now that my laptops working again, here's a pic of my new bonnet and tailgate nicely wrapped up in my spare room awaiting me to fit them



Also a couple of pic's of my shot blasted turbo's which i cant wait to get built up.

Cheers mate. Gimme a shout if you need advice on fitting the 16v and wiring  :wink:



Collected my Oz turbo baskets today, freshly painted met black  8)





The centre's got marked by the bubble wrap whilst on the way home  :roll:  but i'll give them a flat and polish anyway. Should'nt be a prob as i flat and polish cars for a living  :wink:

very nice 8)

Looks good!

Cheers lads


Well while the wife(Gem) was polishing the bolts to my oz turbos's, I swapped over the tailgate and tidied a few bits up  


Gem with the mop, she got fed up doing them by hand lol


Tailgate'less golf


New tailgate on and mopped up  8)

i love this car cnt wait for the oz turbo's to go on

just a quick question are you going to be putting ur caddy rebuild on here ?

Your car looks ace mate. I love the Jetex system. I wasnt sure which one to go for on mine when im ready, but that made my mind up. What does it sound like? Is it a nice deep note or raspy?

I have a build thread of my caddy on vwcaddy.com, i'll get you a link if you like or just search for my username on there and the links in my sig  :wink:

Its all stripped down now though and awaiting for me to start a full on resto. Smooth bay etc

I may start a new thread for it on here but did consider keeping it under wraps

Cheers fella

The system is a little loud for daily driving IMO, has a drone to it when cruising but when your on backroads going through the gears, it sounds awesome. It has a deep note and on de-acceleration it splutters lovely  

I'am going to sound deaden the boot as i use the car daily

F**ked up on the widths. Half inch smaller than planned but nevermind.

Totally assumed that oz turbo standard lip was 0.5, not 1in. Not to bother as the BBS 1in dish looks much better so its not been a wasted task. They'll still look awesome on the car even if a little tucked.

Not long finished building the 7's. Did the 7.5's last night and fitted tyres to those this morning before i went to work.

Here's a pic of the 7.5's before tyres



They look bloody awesome in the flesh

I'am going to buy 2x 2in lips along with a new set of RS nuts then swap over again when ready.

"They look bloody awesome in the flesh"

They look bloody mint on my dull screen/computer.

Nice idea for a set of wheels tbh, look smart….

And cheers mate, i probably will end up asking you some stuff as i know little aha…

looked to mint on them steelies…

One next to the building smashes it…

Mint picture.

Pussy king one.

aha..

They look good!  I can't wait to see them on the car.

Pic from UD i stole  



Few that i took

looks great like it always does   got anything planned for it now ?
