cant wait to see how you go with this one Dom. Its a fantastic base for a real unique project!

[dubbed]

Never seen one in Oz before. Is it a Jap import?

What wheels are going to be tucking? Sounds like it'll be a dope ride!

[Golf Houso]

Very quirky car thats for sure, how does it go out of curiosity?

[WABIT]

its running rough at the moment, needs a major service, k-jet tune + RWC
plus i washed the engine pay just now so its playing up a bit, but did run pretty good

well it doesnt come with log books but theres stickers with asian writing all over it, plus the previous owners says it was imported from NZ so i guess it was originally from japan, then shipped to NZ then shipped to australia

the rims ive got for this badboy are a set of auto strada modenas in 17x7.5 and 8's


the front clear fine with some possible rim tuckage, but the 8's with the 52 offset hit the rear beam, so i need to space them out by 10-15mm once they are bolted on, but the most important thing to get right is tyre choice, the thinner the better.....

Saw this badboy yesterday before we left to come up, seriously BEST!

And the fact that there is enough room in the back for the worlds biggest orgy

nice one Dom, good to see someone thinking with a euro style head for once

cant wait to see this bad boy,

nice one dom, very unique. I love the front ends on these cars, they look futuristic in a retro kind of way (if that makes sense).

love your dedication to the vw scene, cant wait to see the progress on this.

bags = awesome

Not much you can do in a K-jet tune on these Dom. I have the KE-motronic VW manual somewhere in the garage. Let me know if you want it to take a copy.

Have a look at the rear bush in the front wishbones. I'd be surprised if they don't need doing.

I have had loads of these wagons, including a G60, 9A, 2Es and 2 1.8GTs. Australia missed out on a really good/useful car with these.

didn't dom say that this one is monotronic? it doesn't look like any Kjet setup i've seen before? (lack of metering head???)

They have a metering head Jarred, it's on the left side of the engine bay photos, with plastic cover on it. Just behind the headlight.

The thing with this version is that it has lambda control and can be chipped unlike the KR engines. There is block on the side of the metering head that controls fuel pressure and therefore mixture. It also has knock sensing.
