I might know of a Syncro across in the Deep West...... depends whether you have a budget  :tongue:
If it's gonna cost loads to get back on the road then no  :tongue:
I'm after a standard 1.8carb syncro to use for now until I can get a bigger lump and I too have a wife and 2 kids (possibly 3  :lipsrsealed: ) with not much of a budget for a 'project'.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Got the coolest accessory yet for my Golf:



Good insurance policy for track days and 'ring trips.

 :cool:

Now, who needs what moved where (for a price)?

Banged in a 4 bar fuel regulator liberated from a VR6, checked things over, then put it on the trailer and took it out to the 'Ring at 5AM on Friday.

I did 7 laps in it on Sunday, and a mate did two laps after me.

6 laps on Monday.

It didn't flinch.

Back in the workshop now, ready for over-winter upgrades.

Report and photos to follow in due course.

This thread is quality... Made me realise that i want NEED a syncro! Me and my mate are now consider chipping in on one for a track car! Seen a few on pistonheads that seem almost too cheap, theres a 89 back 5 door one for 900 smackers with only 45k on the clock and about 10 months MOT!
