Title: need the KO3s fitted soon
Post by: Dave_IOW on 13 March 2010, 23:20
Need that chinese GB on uk-mkiv's to hurry up for downpipe and sports cat so i can fit KO3s.

On my private runway, just had a sprint down and only just beat a zimmer 323 looked standard, and got my arse handed to me by a scooby wrx  :cry:

Getting bored of coming second  :angry:

You should rape a 323 if you have had a remap, their only 170 bhp standard. I had a 325 cabrio before my golf and that was 210 bhp but far from fast with the weight. They also lose lots through transmission! Id be devistated if I was to lose to any 3 series unless it was an M3

Classic shape Scoobys weight less than your golf. You'd need big power to leave one, just think when your not canning your Golf your get mpg in the mid 30's  apposed to low 20's thats why I drive a Golf now! :smiley:

Easy job,just make sure put the water and oil washers on first time and in the right place,i didn't :grin:

Had to whip the turbo back out to fit the washers,got everything done and fired it up only to be greeted with lots of smoke and oil leaking all over the drive,i used a water washer on the oil feed and it turns out they are slightly different sizes lol.

3 days in the end :lipsrsealed:
