theres been a bit of a change to the carb selection. If I fitted the single, it will involve a substantial [:0] modification to the bulkhead,
so Im fitting a pair of 40 downdraft carbs instead. Should hear this start up very soon (at last)
I know Chriss. These arent DCOE. All will be revealed when its all together and finished [

All the pictures and details will be posted on here first!
If i was doing this from the start, then i would have gone for a crossflow, but I dont want to distract from the original engine as a carbed GTI Eng is a bloody rare engine in itself. You can fits DCOEs with 12-20mm trumpets provided you make a sufficient headshield to combat the exhaust heat. im getting the manifold ceramic coated and the downpipe wrapped. if you were fitting DCOEs it would also be a good idea to make some kind of airbox or ducting device as well.
Repaired bulkhead now looks like this
ill let u know as soon as i can find some $ for the rolling road.
BTW pics are on
**** I used to have a load of pics on Central Park website, but as my (now ex) friends appear to be arseholes, they have deleted the directory. Sorry
Ive had a lapse in momentum after spending a lot of $$ lately and not making my planned debut date, but im sure ill pull my finger out soon
Hi fella
na, i just got the rear screen. I didnt think they made a 5 door set anyway. I did hear that there was a edition 1 g60 syncro rear screen without the spoiler holes. but dont know if this was a myth. Anyway, i still havent fitted the glass as im still being distracted by that scottish las and a new motorbike [

i got a back issue of Volksvagen Driver with the recentish article on the Golf Syncro. It was interesting to see that they mentioned the original LHD GTI Engineering Syncro, and then stated that the conversion was available for RHD, but as far as they know there werent any done.
We know better dont we! [
