lots of people fit them to there normal mk2 golfs iam just wondering how i do it do i need to do some cutting or is it just a matter of wiggling it till it fits?

[holmes]

discounts from suppliers and a couple of pounds a year is fine by me[] great site and very helpfull

[holmes]

iam gettin the hang of this searching lark[] i found your other post wot about a 2.0l 2e block and a crossflow head withe twin carbs?

[holmes]

thanx chris. what would you want for one of your crossflow heads and the twin carbs? does that come with a high lift cam? do you have all the bits needed for bolt-on and go? what sort of performance would i get from doing this? iam trying to keep my options open. ive seen a site where you can buy mark 3 2.0l 2e engine for £150 that doesn’t sound to bad? what do you mean when you say i wont have to change the gearbox yet? regards daz

[holmes]

hi sorry the downpipe has to be modified cos the 2e is 1/2inch taller. would help if i payed attention to your answers. my bad[]

[holmes]

do you think i could still get 150 horses with the 2e block, high lift cam, and either the normal carb set-up or twin 40 carbs? i like to keep my cars simple iam not a fan of injection and charging. however i do like the whoosh from a charger[]

[holmes]

that does sound good, so what i need is the a 2.0L 8v mark 3 golf engine, i dont want the injection crap so do i need any different ecu parts? will the same engine mounts fit? do i need to change the gearbox aswell? does anyone have twin 40s lying about? do i need to change the down pipe etc is the engine stamped 2e on the block? regards darren more questions to come iam just getting started[]thanx

[holmes]

hi chris how much would it cost me for you to do the same for me and to ship over here? a full set with springs? regards

[holmes]

cheers what car is the 2e engine from and what am i looking for. do you think this would be the best option or would it be best to stick with the 1.8?

[holmes]

hi chris iam quite interested in these shocks for the rear, are they good quality ie longevity wise? do you think that its worth getting these front and rear or just the rears and getting a set of koni for the front? are they still £60 a pair? how much to ship? cheers daz

[holmes]

hi guys i want to make myself a 2.0L 8v engine but am unsure what engine comes like this from standard, what is involved? i dont want a 16v and iam not looking to make a gti iwant to keep the carb set-up not for any main reason but just preference. ive seen in this forum the codes you list for different engines, but my knowledge isn’t good at all for these cars. could you tell me what car i should be looking at for a donor and any parts i need for the change. i would also need it as cheap an option as possible. sorry bout all the questions regards[]

[holmes]

does anyone know where i can get a polyurethane bush kit for the rear crossmember and rear trailing arms as ive just checked the price at vw and chocked on my sandwich. regards

[holmes]

just one clunk. iam so envious.[]

[holmes]

how does one seperate the rear diff for checking and renewing bits any pics?[]

[holmes]

have decided to stick with drums on the back as i can get them painted or chromed, shiney[] is there any way of putting more breaking emphassis through the rear of the car? any chance of getting a copy of that etka dvd. ta
