i bought this bad boy on the 05/09/08, having only experience with mk2,3 and 4 golfs no non vag crap.

 

wanting a cheap fastback i scoured the internet and fell upon you bunch! great! but then i looked through the forsale section, now, this made me launch a minute mad obsesive, button pressing, telephone dialling, speaking to the seller and buying ambush!

fk coilovers,

smoked rear lenses

heres a pick of the beast next to my mk2 which i had to sell to keep the rado, went on the porthcall crawl with my mate in a white mk2, it kept overheating and held everyone up but all was in good spirits :lol: this is a rolling shot taken from my mates gti on the way down, if your doing it with a group get some walkie talkies amazing fun!

 

 

the bey liked the c so much he sold his a bought a vr :lol:

dont have any pics of the parts i used nor of the engine in as ive just been enjoyin it too much to be bothered. But heres a before and after sound vid, going through the monmouth tunnels,

 

Now i know you wont be able to judge the speed of it that well, but it may seem slower than it really is as my 19 stone mate was in the car on both trips (going to get beered up!) but i suppose it will be accurate because i dont think he will have lost any weight as the engine swap only took 5 days! :lol:

new g60

theres a bit of confusion on this one as on the way through monmouth we had a nice brap braap braaap up the tunnels, however on the way back it went into a controflow which was okay but i had to hold a heap of cars up behind to get a nice run up :lol: enjoi

Very nice, and that Mk2 is pretty tidy too :wink:

Have you decided to mod the front bumper yet?

[radojunkie 0]

not yet slim, need some cash an time first, be a little while but i got the intercooler to sort beforehand. will try and get some pics of zee engine etc. in the next few days

[radojunkie 0]

by the way your 1.9 turbo was that from jabbasport, when they were having a trial fit on the g60 blocks? because this is one of them blocks, possibly same spec as yours...? sweet bolf tho

[Slimg60 0]

I'm not sure, I got the engine from Junkie on here. It is the Jabbasport IHI turbo with their big valve head.

I've had another sytle of idea for modding the front bumper so you might have another option in a couple of months :wink:

[radojunkie 0]

cool, is it underwraps for then...?

[Slimg60 0]

It is for now :wink:

All will be revealed soon though :D

[radojunkie 0]

you tease! :lol:

 

you know i said, nice bolf, ive just had a closer look at your side picture thing, didnt realise it was a corrado, the light just seems to cut the back end off and make it look like a mk 4 with a bore conversion on it... :cuckoo:

Its not a trial block as such, my engine was fully rebuilt but to your spec radojunkie back in 2005 but i had the lysholm charger on it, still wanting more i asked them again will they be willing to do a IHI G60 turbo conversion on it, due to them having numerous calls about them doing it they agreed to it.

 

It was planned to debut at inters 2005 with the lysholm on Jabba's stand, 2 months before this they agreed to do the turbo so off went my car again to them, i got the car back on thursday day inters weekend, drove straight to my local ICE place i used got a full boot build then off to inters that night lol.

 

Anyway whilst my car was there, at the same time there was G60dave there with his charger that had grenaded and his car in bits, he also had the same turbo conversion as me but on a standard engine, so mine was the 1st to come out of Jabba with the 1900 engine etc but my engine was already done before the turbo, then dave had his done but on a standard engine, he then was going for my spec for 300bhp but then sold the car and G60 Marc on here now owns it then Jabba did their track corrado with the turbo 1900 but with a different turbo, it uses a VF30 and also has forged rods. Thats what you can do slim, the rods, it was always going to get done on mine to run more boost for more mid range grunt.

cheers for the info junkie, i went in g60 marcs rado a few months back before i had the swap done myself, its tight as and has loads of power!!!!

 

scared me abit :lol: you gotta be mad to stick more than 270 through a front wheel drive motor, thoguht it would take the fun out of it a bit; do you have a build thread junkie? wouldnt mind takin a look at a few snaps

 

dont have any money at the mo to spend on zee car, so gonna have to search down the side of them sofas again before any thing gets done, but il take a few pics of the engine and box in place
