Volvo 750 turbo? That'd be interesting

[jayjay]

haha.. nah, you just pillage parts from an audi 200T and the k-jet system from a 4 pot volvo or saab.

but nah. it's not forced induction.

[Golfer]

Mmmmm, if it were me, it would be a 9A running a well tuned K-jet system, Merc injectors, Volvo intake, and most importantly KR cams...

Come on, spill the beans Jay Jay!!!

[jayjay]

nah no chance as yet. definitely not KR cams.. dont want that wimpy breathless business fizzling around in my head.

hahaha

Hahaha! That was lowwwwwwww..

[jayjay]

not as low as puting seat ibiza rear struts and springs in a golf. i swear, apart from the bottoming out issue i'll most definitely have, i reckon they're within an inch of how low my coilovers went...

i wonder about the fronts then too... bump stops can remedy bottoming out cant they...? kinda...?

for search purposes : seat ibiza rear struts in mk2 = lowwww

I drove a 10v 90 the other day, went hard I must say and it was an auto with 235k, considerably more rapid than my mk3, nowhere near as much fun but still quicker.

That was the 100kw version. The 20v had 125KW manual only (100 imported in 1989) and it still takes 8.7 to 100km/h.

So Jay Jay wanted his Hot Tuning back for another projects, so we stuffed in some random springs to roll the car around. I meant to put Cordoba struts in the back, but they must have been beeza ones cos the back is damn loooooooow.

We put the VR6 widetrack in the front so the car can be moved and left in the VR6 springs for the moment!!

Couple of pics of the beast as it is at the mo, 2 5 stud wheels and 2 4 stud!





And some engine sneak pics

[Jarred]

fully dumped in the back bro! hahha. that's realllllllly low. comparatively at least!

Yes you are right, I just checked, theres one around Pyrmont in Sydney on the trading post atm, I think its 6500 with 185k on it. Still more than I'd be interested in paying...

With flycut pistons, insanely large valves, solid lifters and a stupid cam. Big Comp Ratio. And some port and polish work obviously.

Reliability and tres rapido.
