Hey guys, this is my first post,

I have the chance of buying a mk2 golf, is started life as a ryder 1.6. It now has a 1.8 8v engine with a 16v box, its running twin 40 weber carb's its got some wheels (multispoke but very new) with barely worn toyo proxies all round, its got gti bumpers and trim and black leather interior, its pretty solid with a few scabs and dinks here and there

There's the info, my questions are what sort of power does an 8v gti make on twin carbs, and does this car sound worth the 400 pound askinf price?

It does come with 10 months test and 2 months tax!

Thanks in advance

Tobi

I don't own the car, its just one I've been offered and was wandering if you guys thought it was worth a punt? And what power they make on 40's

Thanks

worth a punt mate, you break it for more

[layzee_git]

Haha, ill think about braking it!

What sort of power can you expect from an 8v gti running 40's?

[01664gti]

Not sure mate, no doubt someone will be along to answer that shortly

[layzee_git]

Good stuff, its not a bad little motor to be honest, rough around the edges of course, but I couldn't ask for more for the money!

Would be nice to know a rough power figure though!

700 bhp

[layzee_git]

Wow, I was hoping for 650, but 700 is good, and that's not even taking into account the extra power from my neon washer jets and electronic turbo!
And when I install my impreza bonnet vent the power will be through the roof!

haha! BUY IT! you won't regret it!
