Oh wowser valver thatll be schweeeet! Curious as to whats happening with ur abf then, u gonna sell that too or save it for something else?

[Valver.]

so how big a turbo have you gone for now requiring abit of throttle in a bottle to spool it?

Gonna run it totally standard... another reason I decided to scrap the 16vT at the last minute. I woke up one morning and recalled how nicely my Mk1 ran in factory spec (gee, I sound like an old man now). I actually have no idea how nitrous runs with direct injection, but if it's a nono, I'll have to eBay the kit! I've never been interested in nitrous until I went in an XU1 with just a 50-shot the last week and it made me laugh out loud!!!

Gonna hang onto it - 16vs (even one with 68k) aren't worth enough to sell. My brother's partner is selling her Mk1 to me next year, so I'll probably put it in that and use it to take my dogs to the beach :p

looking forward to seeing it back on the road
should be a beast!

Hahaha don't laugh i bought a Mk1 for a parts car that used to be used for that! Criminal.


Direct injection S3 engine huh? Very nice. Should go quite well. What's the difference it weight?

Ahhhh thats a bit of a bummer the 16vT sounded to be the bee's knee's but the new engine sounds interesting

[16v_kid]

I'm guessing the engine weight is much the same, but the transmission will be a lot heavier

It still will be a 16vT, just of the more modern variety

so what's going on in place of the k03?

was it the engine or you breathing in the nos..?

[Valver.]

so what's going on in place of the k03?

I'm pretty sure it's a K04 as per the old S3/TTQ 20vs, but I'm not changing a thing. Still way too much power in a ****ty old FWD, but good fun all the same

[joshyd-mk2gti]

ah k04, my bad. sure would be plenty quick enough..!

[pepperwhite]

man you are always on some next level ish!

[booerns]

I just spent the last hour reading through everything. An hour well worth it I'd say.

What a beauty! That's all I can say. One of the nicest VW's I have ever laid eyes upon. I'd be really keen to see some more pictures and/or videos though. Seeing as this thread hasn't been updated in the past year and a half, what's happened since?

[JoshFair]

this car is bonkers man. congrats!! inspiring.

[Valver.]

I posted an update about this car in a separate thread only recently. It is significantly different to the pictures here now (and a lot better!). I'm still waiting for the wheels to finally arrive (along with a few final parts for the engine)... and then I'll post some pics. It's gone through three wheel changes so far :-p

[GoLfMan]

I know what you mean about wheels! I've gone through the same amount with my daily! You just have to find the wheels that sit jussttt right

When are you moving to Melb? Are you going to get involved in the scene over here?
