    twin carbs

    Good points = Noise and fuel economy Bad points = Noise and fuel economy. Twin carbs sound awesome, especially at full chat through a tunnel. But they need setting up quite regular and can be thirsty. I think I've read somewhere they can be a bit of trouble to start on a cold day too. I'm not sure how much power you'll get out of them either, I remember reading a mag years ago where they put a set of 48's on a 16v 'Roco and the gains weren't that impressive. But the induction roar was. You should be able to do the conversion for about £700. Or spend a bit more and get some Throttle bodies instead.

    Induction.......

    I had a sound clip somewhere of my car doing a drive by past my mate at about 85mph. I'm running an induction kit. I'll try and dig it out and put it on.

    Induction.......

    If you make a really good heatshield with the induction kit it should in theory work better. But from what most people say the K&N drilled airbox combo works better.
  4. Sounds like I should remove my original heat exchanger :cry: It looks like I'm not running a G60 oil filter :shock:
  5. Heyup Brian, yep I'm gettnig mine done at G-Werks. Your best bet is to ring Darren for a price, I'm getting my charger serviced while I'm there so that's included in the price. He's a top bloke and will give you a good price.
  6. I booked mine in yeasterday to have the same thing done!!!! Can't wait!!
  7. I agree with you, get him to ring a few specialists.
  8. The one's I found were between £150 & £250.
  9. Yep it's the one from the 2L. Looks like I'm gonna miss out of the VR6 one on ebay. Bad timing! Will look more into the gearbox once the engine is done.
  10. Looks like the one I took off mine not long after I bought it :cry:
  11. Gotta be the Koeninsegg and the Carrera GT

    Watch This!!!

    I've got a vid of the stage 2 silver Golf it's only 450 bhp :shock: why bother, if anyone wants to try and host it. I'll email it them so they can put it up. Or just mail me and I'll send it you.

    Throttle cable

    That sounds exactly the same as what's happening in mine. I'm gonna change it this weekend.
  14. I've just put a bid on it :D
  15. So, how much work is involved in swapping the 1st and 2nd gears out of a VR6 box to the G60, and would it be cheaper to buy and fit a Mk3 16v GB?
  16. Everyone should have one of these in their C http://users.pandora.be/minnekens/verhoeven/Golf.wmv Mind blowingly Awsome!!!!!

    Car for the GF

    I wanted her to get a polo 16v but it was just out of budget. I went to look at a nice SE too, but it got sold before I got up there. I love Polo's but really can't fault the Corsa. It's 10bhp down on the Polo16v but it's about £120 cheaper on the insurance. I'll try and get some pics put up.
  18. Re-spray to tidy it up. X-Flow Head 1.9L bottom end Fianally fit the Golf IC Charger re-build Poss Toothed pulley kit Fit new clutch Look into Mk3 16v gearbox

    Car for the GF

    Just thought I'd update. Couldn't find a decent polo, at the right time so I ended up getting her a Corsa Sport 1.4 16v. And....... It's a top little motor. (I never thought I'd say that about a corsa) It shifts too, once you get past 3Krevs it just keeps pulling. I'm gonna try and get her to put some wheels on it, but as for now it's mint. 1997, 3 owners, metallic bue, electric everything good history. £1950 with tax till next june
