Hey there, just a few shots of my new Mk1. Bought it from a nice guy in Canberra. Has a little bit of work to be done on the engine, interior & body etc.
Currently it has a 1.8 16V Fuel injected, H&R coilovers & Micrtoech LT-8 ECU
My plans are for a full respray in Gun metal grey, Full re-trim of the interior, Maybe some Ronal R10 alloys or some smoothies. Hope you like...Low

Sweet! Nice gear you're running in, and it looks awesome mate. Paint looks good from the photos. I like where you're heading with wheel choice too!

Getting it on road should not be a problem, I work in the motor industry and have a few connections. In NSW its a little bit different, It currently has a engineers report so that will be fine, the original seats are back in it so no worries there. I work for VW so i have all the right knowledge and parts to get me out of trouble, and a friend has a tuning shop with a Dyno to tune the Microtech, I think i've got it sorted. Lets hope anyway......Low

Yeah mate, had it on the dyno. It made just over 85kw at the wheels. It was quite funny coming from rex and only seeing 85 on the read out. Power to weight is fantastic though.. Its a rocket.:D

Did they tune? Advance the ignition, more fuel ect... How much tourge did it make and what revs did she pull... 85kw in a 850kg car is still a ball tairer ;)
