The rally Golf gets a birthday

Cool shots, man. The one of you crossed up has some serious attitude.. I like it.

Mate, you must have upgraded your lighting loom, they are the brightest headlights I've ever seen on a mk1 !

Great looking car, I'm onboard with your taste in cars, I've got a 911 and 928 in my car future.....he who dies with the most toys wins !

[Jarred]

love the tail out! good fun!

[thestu]

Haha cool shots mate! Wish I still had my old mk1

[Volksee77]

ha ha not so much of an upgraded loom, just a complete custom install job and some interesting bulbs.

. Cheapest place I found for the crown and pinion is

Parts4vws.com and Parts4Audis.com - 4.25 020 Ring & Pinion

K lads, Have got word from Mike Potter that he can still get 4.25:1 R&P gearsets, if your seriously looking to purchase let me know quantity. Cost of will follow !!

[geoff_gti]

Grant - bit off topic, do you know if Luke has seen the details for karts this arvo? Thought he'd be up for it but doesn't seem to have replied!

[Volksee77]

On the mines Geoff otherwise i would have been there with bells on.

[Volksee77]

Grant, yeah can you get a price for that and a 3.94, just a little worried that 4.25 will be a little too low on top speed

[roccodingo]

OK
3.94 = $390.00 US,
4.25 = $440.00 US

Either are + freight +duty if applicable.

Those are very nice throttle bodies. But the "bottom end" of it is 1800 16valve manifold which was just cut and holes drilled to fit the butterflies etc. But must say, very very nice. How much did those cost you to make? I am building a GLS Golf MK1 and would like to tweak the engine a little aswell.

Dont know why you say this as its nothing like a 16Valve VW manifold. look a bit closer...

[Volksee77]

Yes occasionally people don't look properly Grant and feel the need to comment. Since i was there when the manifold was cast and machined i would very much doubt the 1800 lower manifold cut down statement. The throttles are 100% bespoke mate and cost me a lot of time, if you would like to "just cut down the bottom part of the manifold and attempt to fit throttles by all means go ahead. The throttles cost what was fair and reasonable considering the time and power gains they will make.
