how would i go about rejetting it?

ill have a look at it now, if its running too lean do i screw the mixture screw in clockwise or out counterclockwise?

the mixture screw only affects the idling, you will have to go up some sizes in the main jet. if you can get the jet sizes for a carby version of the 1.8l you can compare with what yours runs and change to suit.

a new fan switch thingo majig (i know the name its just escaping me atm) arrived yesterday, was just too sick to put it in sadly . had a bit of a scare with the golf, thought the clutch destroyed itself but it was only the drive shafts that were loose so that was good.

Hey Pilks, did you drive towards Erindale on langdon and had a white van flashing lights at you at the langdon/longmore round about

A few of us got together last night and Pilks brought his MK1 so we swapped drives and Goon and I got to drive this little noisy car. What a blast it was to drive!!! Couldn't wipe the smile off my face and Goon's. He's now more determined than ever to get his MK1 back on the road.

It's seriously rough and needs lots of things tidied up but so much fun and it was surprisingly quick. When this thing is all sorted it's going to be awesome to drive.

Thanks for the drive Pilks. Loved it!

Might have to look at getting into a MK1 again.

Problems after problems keep arising with the deathtrap. Fuses 7 and 8 kept blowing so i wasnt able to drive since no indicators would work, then after i fixed that the golf wouldnt start. I have replaced the coil and points and that didnt fix anything so i read up on it and there is most likely a problem with the condensor? so if anyone knows where i can buy a new condensor for less than $55 (what autopro is charging for one) then hit me up please.

I also bought new suspension and installed it with a friend yesterday, let me just say that spring compressors would of made it a much safer job.

Theyre just cheap JOM Coilovers, but they feel alot more firm and dropped it 3 inches without even touching the factory settings of the coilovers. im young so i dont really mind the rough ride that its going to give haha

I think that covers all that ive done in the time that ive been off the site for.

making money for your golf is always good!


so, update.

i went ghetto and created and a new condensor out of a $7 one from repco and spliced in the connection for the mk1. Looks dodgy! but it works so who am i to complain.

The new suspension is great! much better handling so thats great. the ride is bumpy but very bearable and its worth it tbh
