Off to the IOW today for the transplant
« on: 30 April 2010, 18:09 »
Well the day has come, finally off to the Isle of Wight with DH and Danny_p to swap the engines over. Leaving tonight and returning Monday night, so we have 3 full days to do this in. I've got all my bits ready, Danny should be making his way down shortly arriving near the ferry departure time and DH will be waiting at the other end with his trailer, ready to load the 16v and take it to the barn. Hopefully this shall all go smooth with no major problems, by Sunday the engine should be in and running hopefully, and Monday will be tidying up/tuning/testing/rest day. I'll be posting up pics on my facebook page so those who have me as a friend will be able to see the progress and updates throughout the weekend, for the rest I will update my build thread with plenty of pics and comments sometime next week.
National Mk2 meet at the Billing Aquadrome next weekend, I'll be mooching around there so if you are going too come and find me!
Wish us luck!

They sure let me in dude, I used to be a big part of the golfmk2 forums a few years back, went to the show last year and it was a good fun weekend, you should come and show off the track beauty!

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
