  1. It depends how competent a mechanic you are To pay a 'proper' firm to do it, you'll be lookin arond $4k ish, depending on which mods you go for
  2. What colour is the smoke?? Blueish or very dark or very thin and misty
  3. Would you actually see any power gain by doin this?? Maybe could possibly see more of an advantage on a G60??
  4. I always use Morris 10w50 fully synthetic on my G60
  5. Its at the front of the air box and on the bottom half, if you cant see it, its possibly been removed already and you will be left with a hole
  6. That maserati's 10k engine re-build didnt do it much good
  7. How come it needed an engine rebuild at such low mileage??
  8. My mates mk2 16v was in the Golf magazine shootout a couple of months back His has got an ABF bottom end, with KR P+P head, a fancy gearbox and its pretty well stripped out Its only 183bhp, but does 14.5 quarters and 0-60 in 5.? You dont need massive power for a rapid car (think power to weight) Hope this helps mate
  9. Put some cheese on the vents to see if you can entice them out :wink:
  10. Look on e-bay mate, theres always plenty of 16v stuff on there
  11. Get some coilovers paul ;)
  12. Oh dear, I know someone who did this on a mk2 golf So your not the only one mate

  14. Hi mate I know a bloke with this conversion, carried out by Grant motorsport For more info, put a post up on http://www.elite1000.co.uk general section HTH
  15. Totally agree My last car was a Golf mk2 8v, this car was pretty quick from little revs, Goin to a 16v was very hard, i found it hard revvin it so much, but I havent got that fear now, lol
  16. Is this still a good price???? Where have other people brought theres from??
  17. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-GTi-1-8L- ... dZViewItem Didnt quite read it properly, The ones that are for sale at £80 odd are those green ones (Ex display) The other colours are £110 ish
  18. That is proper cool Well done mate, good find
  19. Nice one mate Didnt want to buy a set, then find out they were far inferior to Samco
  20. Anyone had any experience of SFS. They do a hose kit for the 16v, and theres a company sellin them on ebay for around £85, which is a fair bit cheaper than Samco Anyone had a set??
  21. A similar thing happened when me and my mate went to pick some people up from manchester airport in his Astra Ive never laughed so much in my life, coz when i left I lifted the bonnet up, the bonnet lifter came off in my hand Soppose you had to be there :?
