« on: 04 November 2010, 19:40 »
Hi, I was thinking of a mk1 with a 1.8t 20v dropped in it. Running near 300bhp. I don't know tho. What's peoples thoughts?

Sounds good to me but 300 brake through the front wheels is maybe a bit ott?

You'd need a limitted slip diff fo show.

Is is a good idea to take a mega cool oldskool car, completely re-do it and then drop a 300bhp engine in it? hmmmmmm  :rolleyes:

Yeh just perfect for the roads of lincolnshire. If it want for the 1.8t it would b a 16v race engine. Eitherway super power in a mk1 for the win. Haha. I just want something to build that's a step up from my valver.

Well I was going to put the k-jet in from neg but twin k-jet it (2 throttle bodies and airbox etc) but I don't know there my 2 ideas. But powerwise idk. I need some help with this really. Either one doesn't bother me. I'd like na just to show people with turbos that I don't need one to beat them. Hmmm... Its a big decision for me to have my mk1 a super machine

When/If i manage to get my hands on a Mk1, Its either getting ABF'd with ITB's - 190-200bhp (estimate)
Or
20vT, most likely running around 260ish bhp (stage 1 map on a BAM  :evil:)
But will be more of a show car as opposed to a track schllaaaag!

I can't show you up. You have a black mk1. I have my eye on a red 1. I have a thing with red cars. And if I decide to go with the 20vt I will be havin silly bits done to give it super power. My mk2 keeps with the rs turbs and that but I'm use to it so mk1 is lighter + my engine or 20v will b perfect. But not better than your sound illusion
