  • The Ultimate Mk1.....

    OOOOKKKK!!! - i'm thinking aloud here.....

    As a former mk1 GTi owner, (83 Lhasha green - resprayed by me bmw/boston green) how the fu*k can i re-create that buzz? (8 years later)

    I have a 93 cabbie but would love to pick the brains here about how i can re-create that "car"....

    with the "clipper" you cannot drop in a GTi engine (due to the wiring loom and the fact there all in europe!! ) - so what is the best option?

    Lets presume......we have all have a "project" mk1, what do we need to do to get OUR car similar?

    engine....brakes?....suspension....interior...and most of all .....handeling...

    FYI - My dad n bro are still in the UK so why don't we get something SORTED!! - i've got space in the UK for a motor......

    If not ....what can i do to re-create that super lively engine response and feel....

    thoughts please?
