Mk1 Scirocco- light Blue

[Golf Loon]

Only Mk1 GTI 1600cc engines are the heron ones. The engine you have is a 1600 cc non gti engine.

When is this car going to be driving?

You are a lucky man hydro
These cars are my favourite VW
I have read somewhere that 16v version that came with bigger brakes & a 3' stright through exhaust, which gave it a better top speed than the porchse 911 of the day
Not to mention that it really looks the bussiness with the sleek lines it has

If you ever bother to sell it, I'm sure you would get a lot of attention

Ontarv, what is your induction? Carbs / EFI ?
Does it run well 10:1 on Premium ?
thank you for the reply.

Why would you run standard (third world commodore standard) petrol?

Yup it costs a couple of cents more per litre, but the car goes faster, travells further and you dont crack manifolds etc.l
