  • Know there's something burning over there...
both my late 90 (H plate digi) and my early 89 (F reg digi small bumper failed project) had 120mph clocks.


I don't think a semi will give the same results

the 1st few years they had bugger all sound deadening sinstalled just carpets,   after 86 they got heavyer   

I'm not sure about that, my 84 mk2 has just as much sound deadening as the 88 model did. It has the foam backed rubber stuff and also the grey sand filled (?) mats under the carpets and up against the bulkhead.

That said, the 84 one does feel a fair bit lighter and more nimble than the 88 one was :laugh:

Just had did an inspection/ dig around.
the mk2 with the 140mph clocks has white injectors.

With the 120 ones they are green.

The last mk2 gti digifant i broke (was a minter! :cool:) had 140 mph clocks and had white injectors too. The previous one was 120 and had green.

I know i sound like a right dumb ass with this post but these are my findings if they help. :grin:
