  1. right after flicking around for a bit and lots of searching im struggling to find some definitive figures on setting up a 1.8 kr. sorry if its been asked a bunch before but im struggling a little here. a few questions.

     

    1. correct ignition timing? according to the vw technical handbook it's 6 ± 1 degree btdc.but i've read other places from 6 to 8?

    so i disconnect the red plug, set the timing gun to 6 degrees and then do i point it at the flywheel or do i point at the mark on the crank pulley?

     

    2. correct CO content. VW say it's 1 ± 0.5%. however i've read on other sites it's better to set it at 2%.

     

    3. finally what order should i set these up? is it

    -set timing.

    -set co

    -set idle

    -turn off, reconnect everything a recheck?

     

     

    thanks for your patience! :)


  2. doing an early to late door card conversion, and so far i've sorted the cards and grab handels. i'm still after the mounting brackets plus the two window switches and mirror adjust. (i think thats all i need)?

     

    thanks alot :thumbleft:

  3. G60s

    S2s

    Willwood/hi spec

     

    All depends what you wanna pay.. G60s should do the job, s2s a bit more and others if youre track daying..

     

    think im leaning towards s2's tbh. how much would i be looking to pay? and what would i carried would i need to go with them?


  4. Remember I sent you a pic?

     

    If you're interested then I can do more pics of all 4. Sure I can dig out at least some of the brackets. I don't have switches but do have the grab handles. Let me know of other bits you might need for the conversion.

     

    cant find the picture mate. ping me another? i believe bits needed are grab handels, mirror switch, electric window switches.


  5. Don't forget mine if you can't find leather :thumbleft:

     

    email/text me some pictures?

     

    ideally im after all 4, plus the brackets. and the switches and other bits if youve got them. going for a full conversion.
