Hey ALex, when is your golf going to be back on the road?
Hey ALex, when is your golf going to be back on the road?
MK1 floG soon to have 16v 2L with cable change gbox - need a 16v turbo manifold
"Fit the gearbox ya bum." Loon - best post ever!
very soon 1 week, 2 weeks, scraping the penny jar to get her back
the golf is not dead.
I remember blowing off all the idiots in my area in my stock 1600 Mk1. Well all the other 4's anyway that thing went suprisingly well.
Im sure you all know the type, mums old Excel or pulsar with rims and a cannon and no other mods but they think its the best car out.
I was going to take it to the Nationals on the drag day but had some troubles with it.
Im taking my new Mk1 next year I'm very keen to see how it goes, could upset a few people i think. Ive already blown off my mates commodore, absolutly flogged him.
My mk2 16v isn't too slow for an old banger. Some scalps I have include VL turbo, ET Pulsar turbo, Ford TX3, brand new Honda Integra Type S.
Tried to drag a VY SS commodore and had him in 1st(he bogged it down) but he was a whole length in front buy about 90km/hr.
Also ate an XR6 turbo ute in 1st but he flew past me in 2nd.
Tried measuring a 0-100 time on a stop watch with a mate in the car timing and the best I got was 7.5 seconds but that was with 17's on it and also I think most cars have inaccuracy built into their speedos.

Audi will be running again May 21st at WSID . Hoping for mid to low 12's
Golf wont be finished till next year . Waiting for ANDRA to sort out Sport compact classes
Hopefully the VW club of Vic has a drag night again soon, then at least I'll be quicker than the beetles

I'll be at Eastern Creek May 21st . Id love to see some of you guys out there at WSID . I dont go every week either . The VR6 was raced in 2001 and 2002 , the s3 in 2005 and early this year . MK1's can do the maddest burnouts even if they are slow . That Mk1 that was out there last year was pretty quick . Thumbs up to taking the car out there . You dont need big $ to get a mk1 to run a 14 . I have 2 turbo's laying around that are oil cooled and a 1.8 stroker engine for a mk1 and I dont even own a mk1 anymore . Ive gone for outright power in a strong body , hence the VR6 . The power I will be making will twist a mk1 on its first pass . I still need to spend $ reinforcing the mk3 after acid dipping it . But first ANDRA needs to sort out the sport compact class
hey bug racer, cant wait to see some photos of your car , can u get cheap parts for vr6's ?
cheers brenton
