Mk2 16v Golf, standard to start with tested speed on the short track. They are now going to mod it and see what they can improve on.

Always fancied an oak green late 16v mk2 golf. I hope they don't do something poo like stick an airfilter on it. :roll:

Ok, admit it, who's going to ring up and enter the competition to try to win it!

 

Great to see Tiff throwing a 16v about again, that thing revved cleanly to 8000 rpm didn't it :notworthy:

lol...i did!

Already made a space for it on my driveway for when I win it. 8) I was a bit skeptical about 50bhp extra until I saw them rev it to 8k :eek: Yep an extra 1000rpm will give you more bhp. :lol:

My Mk2 is going to be better than that when it's done, nice motor though and good luck to all those who entered.

[Jim 2]

TSR did new suspension, some lumpy cams, bored to 1.9, fancy pistons and rods and presumably removed the rev limiter, I'd imagine the head had a little bit of work too.

They reckoned 185bhp which sounds about spot on for a strong fettled valver, would make a loverly track day car.

I entered the competition too!!

[mic_VR 3]

anyone got an idea when the repeat is on?

 

Paused the sky+ when my brother rang but the missus changed the channel....... :bad-words:

Had a mk2 valver before the G60, what an ace car. Would love another at some point, but a good one is big bucks nowadays!

Sounds good and glad they kept they kept is essentially a 16v. Strangely about the only two VW's that I havent owned are the Mk2 16v and a Mk1.

Not sure I'd want a car after its been rebuilt then had the t*ts ragged off of it by Tiff, but going to enter anyway. The man knows how to abuse machinery.
