New pads and rotors fitted tonight. Brakes are great.

Fitted up the choke cable and the carbs are running, need a tune but running. So giddy.

Ok finally got the camera out..

After fitting up the twin carbs - twin weber IDF 40-42s (ouuffftt) I realised I didn't have a bung off the intake manifold to run vac for the booster, so got stuck into that with Frenchy












Finally got the correct pads as the last ones I picked up last week were incorrect and new rotors to accompany them





Also managed to fit up the choke cable, finish off the carpet and ordered new trumpets and air filters to boot.









Everything is pretty peachy right about now

Faaarrrk guy your set up looks mint! Might have to hook you up for some manifold fabrication for the set up I'm building haha. But mines much further off than yours :p

Awesome. Looks like we need to attend some hill climbs

also, i'm currently running a 1.8 (RV) engine with the standard mk1 4 speed box - if anyone can shed some light on which clutch I should be getting (1.8 RV runs a 210mm clutch whereas the 4speed box originally had a 190mm clutch) would be greatly appreciated!

and yes a 5 speed conversion is hopefully happening very soon!

From what I understand, all 020s use the same bell housing casting, so you just have to match the clutch to the flywheel. Although don't just take my word for it. My car is running a 1.8 adz, which usually have a 210mm clutch, with a mk1 4 speed, but I don't know what size clutch it has in it at the moment.

also it might just be me but the mk6/7 forums seem to be an absolute joke and I just had to share that

[Browneye]

You could always search the part number printed on the flywheel if you can be bothered separating the gearbox from the motor

Makes sense actually! Thanks dude!

Just match your clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel to the gearbox you have. That's the easiest as they all bolt to the standard 4 cylinder crank.

There are heaps of variations on what you can/can't use, but save that discussion for the 5 speed conversion.
