my new golf :)

Im happy with just the 1600 im restricting myself as im capable of speeding in anything!!!
I had borrowed a 1.8 mk1 for a while with a weber and exaust and a few other nice bits and it was too fast!! Recently I have been forcing meself to drive much more responsibily. Around town and keeping the fun for the hills
But im really not after the power.
Most of my friends drive 2lt or less cars and I can keep up easy in the hills with the 1.6 mx5. Also my girlfriend will be driving it as well and she is the same she can speed in anything she is training to be a pilot and is pretty hooked on speed I feel the 1.6 will be a good handycap.
An engine transplant might come along eventually.

Haven't updated this in a while as I went overseas spent a few months over there and killed my budget for the cars.

But still got a few things done to my golf its club redgoed now and I have swapped in a 1.8 8v.
Still a few things left to sort out.
And further down the line I will be upgrading the brakes thinking of going with mk3 rear drums and front calipers with a 256 mm disk and audi 80 quarto carriersand a 22mm booster seems to be the best option. But at the moment my golf's on hold oh and he got named Clive.

He is on hold as I bought my girlfriend a 1990 mk1 cabriolet for her birthday and needs some love for rwc and only have 2 weeks to get it sorted for redgo transfer. Will post pics of both cars up soon.

Wondering where i can get my hands on a similar roof rack set up ??? cheers
btw cars looking mad as bro, keep it up

[Tymk1]

I originally made the roof rack for my volvo 360 glt (miss that car so bad)
It's just standard square tube gutter mount roof rack with slats from a futon bed drilled and counter sunk on a drill press to make it faster. If you do it as well differently treat the timber first with something design for out door use like decking. As I need to do that and pulling it apart to do so takes a bit. Also the way the brackets adjust for different roof widths can get in the way jus make sure you adjust them first then measure and drill a very cheap and super handy thing to have.

Hi guys so the cabi got stuck in third gear so I pulled the box and replaced it with a wreckers item but I'd like to re build the old one for my mk1 as its a 5speed is there and build threads on gear boxes? I searched but didn't really find anything.
Also I couldn't find info on the emissions crap I removed the charcoal canister made a big difference as the vac advance works a lot better now.
But the pcv valve from the rocker cover goes around in loops all over the engine bay is there an easy way of removing it and having the oil go straight into the intake manifold. Of is it better to plumb it to the air box?

Thanks guys
