hey,

very nice car very nice it would be very hard to find a car like that in that condition and still have all the original parts good job

i just cant wait to see that car after it had all the upgrades. It will be a complete beast

[Preen59]

Not bad... There's a florida blue 78 GLS auto in town that's all original.. My old man does all the work on it.

I'd love to grab that if the old couple ever sell it.

[Oneofthegreats]

im thinking if puting in the 2L 8v in it...and the 5 speed manaul..

the bloke is ready...it has been bored out from a 1.8 to 2L...

it has been balanced also..

i have supertech valves 2mm over size

titanium valve retainers.. YES lol(i love ebay)

gti head..and injection...

and yes i have all these parts all ready

im just useing the stock crank,pistons,konrods..

i cant afford to buy after market stuff...

after all...im only 15..

and you probs wondering were i got all this money from...

well b-day money LOL

but my dad will help me with the conversion..like put the 5 speed in it and all that..

what do you guys think.

cheers

Sorry dude but you've lost me with your logic.

You'll go & spend $$$$$'s on engine & cyl. head mod's for 2mm oversize valves, seat's/porting etc. & stuff you don't need like overkill ti retainer's with a stock cam & stock valve spring's, but you only want to spend less than $400 on wheel's & tyres?

What about the stock suspension & brakes?

Also you say the block has been bored to 2L but your going to use the standard piston's? Ummmm. right



Just alittle helpful info.

A bored 1.8L block won't take it to 2L. It will only go as far 1870cc (1.9L Audi Spec) with a 83mm big bore piston (2mm/.078"thou oversized!) & 86.4mm stroke!
Or a more popular (maximum recommended) bore being .060"/1.52mm oversize. So a 82.5mm piston & 86.4mm stroke is 1847cc

To get to 2L, you need a stroke of 92.8mm which requires a bigger crank using a 82.5mm piston which gives you 1984cc!

Or it's easier & much much cheaper just using a 2L engine to start with!
