Daily driver: 1:8 or Heron?

[gtimk5]

Go with the 1.8 Dave, I am not going to get into any trouble then. I mean that mate.
I will buy the Heron off you, great motor for my old comp car.


Oh, and Chris, thats 38 years experience on VW's, been driving golfs since '78 too, thats 32 years of great front wheel driving!!!

How much did he pay you to say that? Ha Ha!!
Thanks for your honest opinion!
Cheers

No worries mate. I don't mince words and i'm not afraid to bag someone, so i should support the good people aswell.

Hi Andrew
So does that mean the 1.8l will go harder than the Heron?
I just want my Pride & Joy to have the most horse power!

I think it's time you posted up some pictures..

Herons are great motors IMO. Ours went great! Revved very freely if you get me. Even with the standard cam, It went awesome dude. Once we put the schrick 288 cam its went even better! It gave such a big difference and you could really feel the car pull after 4000rpm.

But at the end of the day, its what you really prefer. Torque/Revs etc etc...

Dave mate, Go the 1.8 as your heart is set on that. It will be way cheaper to fit by heaps running the Weber. We could strike a deal on that Herron with labour.
And I mean it, I will buy the Heron, no probs!!
I loved that motor, wasnt a wheel spinning freak motor but certainly would be nice in Gunter!!!

My heart isn't set on either. I have a choice of 2 motors.
I just want the biggest Bang for my Buck & a real Pocket Rocket!
BTW sorry but I'm not intending to sell the Heron.

That Mk2 GTI looks sooo nice, I've seen it around - and it's a 2 door right? Also seen the white Mk1, very neat! Should bring one on the next cruise.

I'm a doubter, those photos look straight out of the UK... Sunny Tasmania.

[Preen59]

Very cool. Both your mk1's are running standard suspension i take it? They'd look sweet about 25mm lower.

Haha mate you'd better believe it. It honestly seems that every day for the last couple of months has been sunny.

Ha ha!

How do you explain the Hill's Hoist in the back ground? The iconic Aussie invention!
