And I bought another 16v plus 5 speed with a Quafe diff.
9A out of a rally MK1, with all ancillaries.

And here's the best stuff up of them all.
Ball joint extension so the control arm sits horizontally - good idea. Steering arm still in original position above the steering knuckle - bad idea, massive bump steer. No wonder the car handles like a pig.
How the hell haven't any...Leave a comment:

Here's a few of the dodgy things I've found and need to be fixed.
Seatbelt mounting bolts extend way too far. Great for catching on anything I run over (rabbits, foxes, small children)
Exhaust hanging low because there are no supports where it kicks to the right....Leave a comment:

That's why I'm going to stick with the 16v naturally aspirated. I want a fast road car that won't bite back....Leave a comment:

That would explain this pic from when Stuart first got the car.
Rear panel definitely off another car to fit the larger rear taillights.

The forum is pretty quiet on the MK1 scene. Doesn't mean that you're not welcome to join in the conversation any time you want.
Welcome
