Hey guys....and beautiful ladies too,
I have a total dilemma. I'm out in Afghanistan at the momment, my car back home is a 1987 mk1 gti cab, and it's in a right state. I seized the engine a while ago and took it out to replace it with one a 'friend' sold me. Anyway it turns out that a 1.8 1991 8v engine is completely different to a 1.8 1987 engine. Obviously i soon discovered the difference between my K Jet and newly aquired digifant.
So i'm out here and all i've been thinking about is my options for when i get home. Replacing the wiring in my mk1 to fit the digifant engine is out of the question. Too much time and effort over results. I think i'm just gonna fit a standard engine back into it from a breakers. The problem is the digifant has some great mods to it and i know it was taken care of 'cause the previous owner was a vw mechanic/enthusiast. He had it on a rolling road at 137bhp just before his 1.8t 240bhp upgrade.
I started looking into older 8v mk2's with high mileage and great body work. But the more i looked the more i fell in love with other cars e.g oak green, standard, BBS alloys. I love the idea of a standard mk2, but really think i'll regret not buying the 16v for the extra performance and potential engine upgrades. But if i do that what the hell do i do with the engine i bought.
Please help me golfgti members you're my only hope.
May the seed of your loin me fruitful in the belly of your woman.
