Hello all.
My name is stephen and i have just bourght a MK2 golf driver. I'm sure over the coming months i will be racking your brains for info.
Just wanted to say hi really i'm proud of the car i'll get pics up tomorrow hopefully so you can see what a good base it is. Don't quite know what i'm going to do with it yet, never owned a volkswagon before but it seems very very solid more a machine than a car if that makes any sense lol!!!!!!!
I've had a little look around and it seems a nice site
Thanks
Steve

Arrow :cool: yet another coming into the mk2 fold. :grin: :grin:

welcome to the site mate - you planning to leave the driver alone ....... or is it going to get the treatment :evil:

It defo needs something it's slow the car i had before was a nova (don't say it i know) GTE which had a fair amount of engine work done, Big valve head, re-profiled cam uprated oil pump blah blah blah and being the fact it weighed the same as a mini it had power to weight ratio of popeye on something more than spinach. So it does need some work it's a 1600 one so is lacking a kick.
I've got some pics if someone can direct me to a free place where i can change the file size.
Any ideas whats the best way to get a bit more power, proberly wrong place to post but i'll await any ideas
carbs??????

As for power changes, carbs is one way although setup is sometimes a b!tch. Can do the usual cam changes, sellers is doing some engine work to his driver might be worth sending him a PM when you have a postcount above ten otherwise you will not be able to see the message he sends back. :cool:

howdy!! :cool:
welcome to the forum!!
Nice to see another Driver joining!! Got a 1.6 myself, know what you mean about being a bit slow but give it a couple of weeks and you'll soon know how to drive it to get the best out of it :wink:

Welcome to the site matey. :smiley:

Welcome! I also have a 1.6 Driver. I've got a GTi camshaft and a K&N panel filter in mine. Definately feels a  lot better than when I bought it but I dont think it was set up right then. Also... fit GTi discs and pads on the front when you replace them. Straight swap for better stopping.  :grin:
Another change some people make is to fit a Weber carb, its manual choke but apparently gives better performance and mpg.
Enjoy!  :smiley:
