Looks Stunning! However, in the history there has recently been a lot of parts bought, incl some BBS stickers.

my old 1.8 8v rocco with that weber carb went almost as well as my high milage mk2 8v gti

those carbs are SO much better than the pierburgs


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