Not only that, but 2 FOUR DOOR MK1 16v's!

i don't know if there is even 2 16V mk1 two doors in aus.

actually, I'm sure there is. but regardless, 4 doors FTW!

I have a feeling Preen's will be pretty quick though matt, unless you've got something up sleve!

Yeah, like another 80 horsepower.

Yeah go the 4 door

I`ll race anyone Chris, but I`m sure yours will be lots quicker.

OK, So changed the fuel pump from a kjet one to digi and had a tinker with the timing etc. Its now driveable and reliable.

I`m still running in the motor, but its 100ks old now with nary a hitch.
The more I drive it the better it gets.

Loads of midrange in 3rd and 4th, so different to an 8v Mk1.

Still a little rich down low, but when shes on song, its great.
Got it all back together, just little bits to tidy up.

It runs though, I`m wrapped.

Some recent pics

It always looks so dark in the pics, it actually sparkles in the sun, now I just need a sunny day!

very noice !!!
go the four doors

by the way i want your exhaust tips
or mybe a square pare ????

**Golf Loon** · 27-05-2008, 09:39 PM

I had forgotten how loud a Mk1 can be.

I have a Cat and a backbox thats it. Maybe I will put in a middle silencer too.

Thos exhaust tips come in square too, just dont let the clumsy buggers cut your back panel. Do iit yourself with love

How does it run atthe top end Matt, I would expect it to go weak with a digfant pump. Kjet needs more pressure that digifant.
