Hi Sunny, did you ever take a photo of the slot you cut in the door trim to get to the lock mechanism when the door was shut?
I am at a loss for options and will be resorting to cutting into the...

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone is hoarding some 2dr blue vinyl seats for the front of a mk1 77 gls with no rips

its a long shot but i thought i would ask :)

cheers

Price dropped.

$5500 Negotiable

Someone should come drive this torque machine and fall in love.

I think anyone who uses a standard mk1 jack, or doesn't carry spare oil would have to be very lucky or very silly :D

thanks for the support

Yes you read that correctly. This is a mk1 with a 1.9 TDI engine.

Those turbos are very cool..




graphite dust in zero gravity can get into your eyes and cause conjunctivitis..

just ask the Russkies

the engine standard in the mk3 prodces 81kW.
I doubt I am acheiving that, as I can't get enough fuel to the engine at high rpms.

The setup is for good fuel economy and no smoke, which works great...

that was what I thought of too.. vr6 shell with TDI

oh well.. will have to keep looking

good stuff mate.

The downpipe has to do a quick downwards U turn and then head straight down. We modified the linkage on my mk1 to give the downpipe a bit more space.

keep up the good work.

mmm.. mexico beige GLD goodness...

that looks great mate.

Feel free to throw some questions my way. I'm getting better consumption than a 1.5 and it goes a heap faster.
I haven't had any...

i haven't noticed any difference to any other mk1 i have driven.

the block/turbo etc is only marginally heavier as far as I know.

with the intercooler added, my guess is that i have increased...

doh.. missed that one.

thanks for the heads up matt.. i dont have the internet at home at the moment so i haven't been on here much

i have a mk1 with a 1.9 turbo DI (1Z). I have run it on pure bio since i installed the engine about 3000k's ago. No issues so far, but it's still early days.
The Bosch VE pump seems to cope with...

I know these are rare, but I am aware there are a few mk3 diesel owners floating around the forum so I thought i would just put this out there.

had a drive of this and it goes great.

Made me a little nostalgic as it's the engine from my old yellow mk1.

Much quieter though, aydan has done a great job with his interior and the engine...

a mk3 1.8 and 2L would fit. Engine mounts from the mk1 will bolt onto the mk3 block and gearbox.

with regards to engineering in nsw...

im interested

Sounds like a great project mate! we need lots of these sorts of conversions! And much better to start with the 1.6 than the 1.5 for a turbo becasue the oil is fed onto the bottom of the pistons,...

i think you will find that was michael collins.. trivia i know, but i only know cos he has the same name as me.

thanks for the encouragement guys.

We sized up an intercooler setup for it on saturday. The cooler fits snugly in front of the radiator. We mapped out a path for the plumbing. We have to get some...
