[ausgolfer]

Awesome looking package (car/wheels) you have there

[rayray086]

Those wheels and your car look great! Colour theming is just right I reckon.

How'd the rear spoiler turn out?? Need a motor and 5sp now to finish it off!!
Cheers!

The spoiler has turned out pretty nice thanks Andrew.
I was thinking of a 5 speed gti box. Next on my list lol. Dont know about a new motor. My little 1.6l performes very well. Only done 35,000 - 40,000 clicks since it rebuild. Not sure if i should get a new motor or not. maybe a new camshaft if there is one available for the 1.6. Maybe a 1.6 GTi one???

they look great, top stuff.

yeh, the 1.6 is still a good little engine.. i believe that a 1800 cam should fit just nice on the 1600, so if u want a gti speck one it should bolt straight on

Hey, normally I don't go for that sort of wheel but they look really good on your Golf - nice one! Bet you're still grinning as well!!

[tassie_euro_mk1]

yea still grinning lol. getting a balance and alignment next week.

Would a 1800 gti cam bolt straight in? has anyone done it?

it should, an 1800 isnt any bigger, just the bore's i believe... it should be fine...
otherwise if all else fails get your stock cam ground to whatever spec u wish for around $150-$200

[tassie_euro_mk1]

thanks Golfman. My mechanical knowledge doesnt extend to camshaft degrees and stuff like that. I let my old man worry that lol.

I just know that the 1.8 have hydrolic lifters (if thats correct) in the head, and was wondering if that would matter.

[GoLfMan]

i dont think hydrolic lifters effect the camshaft, im learning more everyday and i'll learn even more when i build my own 1600 up

[PoloKris]

wow! that looks sweet as mate!

loving the 4 door to be fair... never liked them... but bloody hell didnt think id change my mind!! TOP job.. car is lookin fantastic!

Your ATS Cups

I assume they are 15x7x28offset. Do you get any rubbing?

[golf-kart]

Very similar to ATS cups...

These are GOTTI CUPS

-15x7"
-ET25
-57.1mm VW bore
-4x100PCD

[golf-kart]

...I didn't have any issues with these wheels rubbing on my old mk1:



They look heaps better on your car tassie_euro_mk1 - nice contrast against the black duco.

[tassie_euro_mk1]

thanks again guys.

My golf is lowered with king springs. On full steering lock it wont rub. But the only time it does rub is at the back wheel arches. Thanks to stuffed shockies . Thats only if i go fast over bumps in the road. More so with a load in the back. Its actually rubbing against the flares. If u roll your arches it wont happen ( or have good shocks )
