Wheels??

Not sure, but I would asume that a GL is a carb engine and standard seats, and a GTi has injectors and seats with bolsters.

But a GLi in america is equivalent to a british GTi.

Getting confusing....

The one i'm looking at is a GL, its not got the sports seats but thats not a problem as i have a set of cobra's.
As for the carb instead of the injection, is it still tunable??
And does anyone know the power output please??

the 1.8 carb enginde is just as if not more tuneable than the injection engine. it has 90bhp as standard.
the most common thing to do is fit a 8v gti cam or head/cam , uprated webber carb and gti exhaust system and manifold.
with all these done you should see over 100bhp i should think.
better still stick twin webbers on it and a good aftermarket exhaust and manifold and you should be leaving 8v gti in you wake.

Ah thats a cracking bit of information, just what i was after.  Thanks.

Good place to start then it would seem, a mate of mine has a few Gti 16v parts knocking about so should be able to rob some of those for it..

I'll have a proper look once i've sorted the knocking drive shaft then.
