how fast did your 8v compare to your 16 Khare?

There's 17hp difference which is not massive but it's the way the 16v delivers the power and keeps hold of it which is the biggest difference and the factor that makes it a lot better  :smiley:

Then my argument of a completely standard 8v producing 124hp being pretty optimistic stands  :wink:  :grin:

Lets not get into that again :grin:

So after a service, I'll save my nuts off and what sort of cam should I be looking at to throw in the 8v?

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

Qucik question about the cams -

Do you require any internal engine work done to accommodate the fast road cam?

Was pondering the idea, but really cant be bothered stripping the engine?

Thanks
