Shed-esque Golf2 Syncro

[Diamond Hell]

Dug about last night and found some pictures from pros who sit about at the side of the track shooting speculatively.

Are you listening, Nick?  The pictures generally go for 10Euros each and there's a well-set up way of people finding them, too.

And yes I know there's a Skyline in there.  If you read the report you'll know why it's there.

So that's the 450bhp Skyline that could not overtake your 130bhp Golf?

Some nice shots but some of the exposures are a bit off.

Anyhoo looks like you had fun. What rims are on your mates Syncro?

The rims are Borbet Cs 15x7

Only one of them is bent now, after he had to find a single replacement after buying a 'set' from some ebay tosser - only two bent and one of the others is ET40, with a 5mm spacer, rather than ET35 as the rest of them are.

Of rather more interest is the ABF under the bonnet.

Cheers DH, just wondered as they look to really suit the car. ABF + Syncro sounds fun!

Got a 2.0 16V Toledo with 71K on the clock.

This is something I've been considering doing for a while.

It's got MOT until September, so I'm going to play with it for a while.  When the MOT runs out it won't be MOTed again, but what happens from then until now is an interesting quandry.

Does it get checked over, with new boots fitted and then play with it on track, so I can find out what a 2WD Golf is like on the 'ring?

Or do I just keep it as a daily and enjoy it until the MOT is spent and keep working on the Golf?

H'mmmmmm, tough choice.

[Horney]

Or put the engine in the Golf?

Ya can't just rush into that sort of thing.

I need to amass a number of GTI downpipes, to butcher up into a tubular manifold, before I can do that.

And I need to poly the back end and get the alignment sorted prior to dumping that much extra power into the chassis.   Unlike lesser Golfs the Syncro can be properly set up on the back, as well as the front.

Oh gaw'n you know you want to chuck the ABF in there!

That Toledo is f**king sh!t.
