Cornish Newbie
« on: 01 October 2010, 22:13 »
hi, im mike from cornwall, anyone else live near me??
 just getting into the golf mk 2 scene
have previously been a rice rocket owner
got my golf as i can actually take it apart and work on it myself!
currently have a mark 2 8valve 3 door helios blue paid £80 for it
just fitted a set of mk3 front seats and will be ripping the rest apart as will be a track day car
a mate of mine has advised me of the modifications to do including a 2.0 bottom end conversion
does anyone know the exact parts i need to do this.
cheers and gone

Welcome to the forum Pasty Man.

I regularly visit your area as a Marshal at the "Tour of Cornwall"  until they cancelled it last year.  Used to do the Bocconoc stage.  Muchos crashes.

Tidy.
