yeah im not taking no front drive shafts out the system just wondered if anyone has done, the syncro system works well, the more you know it and understand the more you appreciate it.
a big job broke out by accident i went to put an amp cable in and the underlay was damp so i had to strip the complete interior of trim, seats, carpet, underlay and soundproofing, and also stripped all the hard compound layer off the floor pan back to bare metal because it had started to peel up and got wet under it no real rust 1 small patch and i managed to poke a screwdrive through it with a good whack so need to weld a patch, i will be re-painting this weekend and have taken some pictures, going to have to do the underside next, glad i found it before winter anyway,
anyway shes a lot lighter now wet underlay weight quite a lot i have disposed of this it was no good to anybody,
dannyp – i see what you mean about the manifold egyptian looking thing, can you get a 4 branch from anywhere?
gti head, cam, k-jet dizzy – i have all of these what do i do?
i have a stage 3 ported & polished mk1 gti head with a good fast road cam in it, will she fit? or best 2 get the gaskets and see if all lines up,
if this was the case and it did fit
the injector holes instead of blocking these they are the perfect place to put nitrous foggers, carb’d car needs a wet kit x4 foggers extra fuel and n20 are injected right where volkswagen wanted it to be diectly into the port. very nice
the dizzy looks like a straight swap i compared mine next to 2 mk1 gti’s 1 being standard and 1 stage3 tuned and it looks like everything botom end wise is the same i can add an oil cooler aswell a proper air cooled one that is that bolts to the block and sits behind the slam panel, not a mickey mouse coolant cooled thing.
will i need the tci-h unit from the gti aswell like a mini basic ecu thing in the scuttle pannel?
yes was for sale and i bought it, after a full service and rebuilding the drivers side back brake that someone put together wrong, a return sping broke on the way home amazingly did not damage anything else. and replacing the dizzy cap and rotor arm that was also put on wrong the cap was not located was 180degrees back to front and the rotor arm was chewed up as the dizzy cap was off centre, bit of carb tuning she runs great now lots of smooth power, will be replacing a lot more parts soon uprating where and when possible so rest assured shes in good hands now.
hello there, im danny, just bought a golf syncro 1.8 tornado red off ebay last week, its been left standard apart from a weber 32/34 conversion and rallye rear sorings, i plan to uprate everything over the next few years as i can see this being my car for many years to come, handles great done about 140,000 miles but has a full service history and a folder as thick as the yellow pages of parts etc that its had. cost me £450 but so far worth every penny, one of the previous owners apparently had some work done at dubsport however it doesnt look like its had anything done that i couldnt do myself so i doubt that dubsport have had their hands on it. my first step in to read up what everyone else is doing then start the project, cheers
