GSF?

Ah! ;)

That torque settings list is incomplete is it not? As far as I know the correct sequence is: Stage 1: 40Nm Stage 2: 60Nm Stage 3: 90deg Stage 4: 90deg

ROFL :lol: I can honestly say I had not seen that jetta before creating my own woodride effort. It looks good though :luvlove:

No problem, I've been looking at both quite a lot recently :D :lol:

The bottom end has a slightly smaller bore (80.6mm as opposed to 81mm) and larger head studs. The head is then also different to take the larger head studs, but a PG head can be modified to fit a rallye block. Henny did it a good while back, and I have also done it recently. @ g60bv, the charger bracket doesn't attach to the head it attaches to the block and the G60 alternator bracket bolts onto the head in the same place as on the normal 8v head.

The G60 exhaust valves are sodium filled whereas the 8vs aren't. They can be easily changed over. Apart from that I think they are the same. (Assuming your engine is a PG corrado engine not a 1H rallye engine)

I changed H&R for Gmax springs with Gmax shocks on a mk2 golf a while back and they swapped over no problem. It's only a stop gap until I get some decent shocks though, the Gmax suspension kits are rubbish IMO...

Loads of people should have spare heads to suit your car. Any G60 or late mk2 golf GTI 8v head will work. Would be a good opportunity to get a ported and polished head if you wanted to. A friend of mine is selling a fully rebuilt, ported and polished G60 head with a Schrick 268 cam. Details here: http://vagdrivers.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1748

Nice one Jay. It's always very satisfying to get to the bottom of a niggly problem like that :D

Looks like it alright.

The 288 disc off a Mk4 golf won't work. You'll need to get the Mk3/Corrado items as they have a different offset. The Mk4 ones have the same offset as the 312s you have on your car (hence the need for the spacers) but the 288s won't work with the spacer like the 312s do as the disc is smaller and the inner friction surface will foul on the hub where the bolts holding the caliper pass through. Because the 312 is bigger the pad area is further out from the centre and clears the hub ok. Hope you can understand what I am on about, it's harder to describe than it is to see for yourself.

You mean to change back? You will just need the original (shorter) carrier bolts to bolt back on the 288 carrier when you remove the 312 carrier and spacer washers.

I thought they were too but I took the whole engine/box/subframe out of this one a few weeks back and it definitely looked different to me. If I get a chance I'll take some pictures of it ;)

Well the subframes and wishbones are different, I think where it attaches to the subframe is different, will take a few pictures tomorrow if I think of it.
