From a man who spends money on a Vauxhal vectra! 

Whole different league, I got the car for £600 and yes I spent money on mods but once I had finished I removed all the mods and sold them on, then sold the car for nearly £800, did the same with the Golf.

Blowing £2k on engine which you will never see back is bonkers.   

Why bring up the Vectra anyway that was 3 years ago, I only have a picture as my sig due to you calling me a chav.

its the head that makes ess_threes power. i bet thats a good £750 head. and you wont find a schrick inlet cam on its own. newman or cat maybe?

seriously id get the head done, a map, a decent exhaust and a bloody good service with all new sensors. go to steralth and il bet youll get 190hp. but thats a pub figure. what we should be chasing, is torque.
infact, the best thing for these abf's, is a lightened flywheel.

can i ask what suspension setup your using? how quick a car is isnt always about the engine

FK Konigsport coilovers. Will probably change arb's and poly bush that and possibly other bushes.

Yes Ess-three was adamant about the flywheel.

Ha Ha, my lightened flywheel is on its way to me today!!

Uprated ARB's will definately make a big differance to the handling, they actually made my car more comfortable!!

How did we get onto 8v v's 16v again.

It's all good natured banter (for the most part). I'm getting itchy throttle foot at the moment and can't wait for 2010 track action. Hopefully see you at some of the 928 days over the year for some 8 vs 16 fun

I've got one more day planned for later this month - then its time to fit the lightened flywheel etc. Yes I'll see you at the 928 days, might even take the 928 for a spin around Combe next time, about time I made use of the 310 bhp, Leda suspension and manual gearbox again.

928 engine! Hmmm now that might be an engine swap worth doing!

V8?

Artz in Germany did a few Golf Mk1's with the original 4.5 litre 928 engine. They had to cut the shell in half and widen it by a fair few inches.

Looked very odd but i bet it went well

the std 8v 020 fly is lighter than a worked 16v 02a fly    a lightened 020 fly is silly light!  will make a big difference boys!

before the engine work, id treat the old boat to some roll bars and poly bushes. rod ends and ball joints. top mount bearings too. i upgraded to the late mk3/vr separate bearing top mounts. there awesome!

will be awesome then!  dont listen to the polybush haters either!
