Here's the on you want it's the webber 32/34 twin carb model, which will go straight on;

Not too bad a price at the minute as well, a good mod for the driver.

I guess you could modify pretty much any carb to work with enough mechanical experience, but that would be well beyond me. Don't know if anyone's done anything like that before on here?

Yea theres a cheap weber that would fit a 1.6 on ebay at the moment. Befor doing any mod i would do a full service and get a good tune up its suprising what this can do to a old motor then start with filters, zorsts ect oh and it a fse power boost valve mate cheers  :smiley:

I put a GTI exhaust on my driver, from downpipe backwards to tailpipe. I had to make an enlargement pipe to go between Driver downpipe and GTI system. Dont know if it made difference to BHP or performance but its sounds quite nice now. (i used an Ernst cheapy GTI stainless system), not too loud with a nice burble noise.  :smiley:
