Title: New mk2 owner!
Post by: emery1990 on 25 April 2010, 15:26

Its had a bit of work done to it.

Had its handling sorted out, front bilstein dampers with eibach springs, konis at the rear, A rear strut brace.

The engine is a 9a bottem end with kr head. Ive just bought a fourbranch manifold and looking at a slighty polished and skimmed head. After this ive been told itll be a good idea to get an inlet cam of around 260 degrees. Individual throttle bodies and then a mega squirt system. But i dont much info on the cams TB or the Megasquirt yet. Im ideally looking for around 180bhp or a bit more. I was hoping to buy something every so often untill ive got all the bits needed for an ideal n/a engine, but been told if i fit it all at once, it could cause teething problems?

cheers any advice would be great :)

Looking at your forum name I take it it's a 1990 either that or you're 20?

Nice interior.

Is that leather a custom job or are they all seats from something else?

Im no good with the sewing but im sure if it is custom i could find some old ladies to get going on it for me ha ha
