Bad timing as ive just bought a second hand turbo a few weeks ago... Might be intouch in a few months when this one blows up. lol

Savage Mini. Those wheels make me moist. :o

8x14's are the perfect size for a mk1 imo... well maybe push to 9's on the back. :approve: <3 wheel shopping... Don't rush into anything tho. ;)

I will just have to ride round with the shockers semi bottoming out..... :approve: If mines finished in time I wouldn't mind crashing taa.. We will all have to have a manchester Mk1 meet in the summer.

Cheers I don't have the room a golf does, the turrets are already at the tops of the wings on a rocco :( I got to see Az's Mk1 at weekend... <3 <3 <3 <3

Awesome.. Just needs front down a bit more... fully down on the coilovers? New Weber carb?

Within reason.. Its the younger brother.. Ive used all the mounts and alot of parts off the engine you have to make it fit.

Quick update, mainly for Jason The mount bracket on the left is from a small block Mk1.. The one on right is from a big block Mk1. I didn't know they differed and fitted the big block bracket to my small block and I wondered why my carb hit the bonnet lol.. when I realised and fitted the...

Im pretty interested depending on price...

A few bits and bobs Ive got listed on ebay.. 99p start with no reserve. Please feel free to take a look :cool: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/valve16/m.html?_nkw&_armrs=1&_from&_ipg&_trksid=p3686 Cheers Winston

Nothings wrong lol I bought the caddy dirty, it stayed dirty.. I bought the scirocco clean, it stays clean. ;) Winter in that damp unit hasn't been the best to it tbh.. Lots of rust creeping in on the under side. :(

Ive got lots of 1.3 spares Jason.. So if you need anything give me a shout.. What carb does it have? I think thats a star buy for £1000 considering its got 12 months tax and ticket New wheels are dope too

I don't know Yoof personally but I have been following his build on the G40 forum. I feel like im getting somewhere now.. The bay is starting to fill up :approve: I also pushed it out side on sunday and gave it a wash and polish etc

:cool:

See.. Oldskool ;)

Cheers dudes To keep it old skool and because it makes it easy for home tuning.. Fuel, boost & ignition are all mechanically adjustable.. A guy on the G40 forum already running a similar set up to mine is pushing over 200bhp.

Common a muck these Mk1 roccos lol Its just got to that stage were there is lots of mocking up to do and making things fit.. Trail and error but Im plodding on :cool: Ive turned the turbo housings and fitted a standard T3 actuator... leaving me an oil feed and downpipe left to sort out The...

Nice!! :cool:

Im going up to the car later in a hope that both housing rotate ok might might need a soak in some plus gas. £80 for the old one... it has no back and forth play but does have side to side play, could do with a rebuild kit for piece of mind imo.. it also comes with a section of down pipe.

^ So do I lol The new turbo turned up today.. Old on the left.. New on the right The new turbo is quite abit smaller as you can see but its also much much lighter :approve:

Cheers for the kind words guys.. Im into far to give up this time and I have much love for this car. Ive just bought a Garrett T25 Hybrid from 5 Turbo on ebay today which is much more suited to the 1.3.. So fingers crossed I can make this work and get the project moving again :cool:

Why have I never looked at this before... fully awesome :cool:

Re: My 79 Mk1 Scirocco.... Got low Cheers Darren.. Erm.. at a guess under 900kg. Ive got to be persistent Ali.. I normally just give up and break it when the going gets tuff :o;)

Re: My 79 Mk1 Scirocco.... Got low Cheers folks :cool: Now the engine is in I have ran into a few problems to deal with.... 1. The carb fauls the bonnet on the adaptor plate so ive got to drill and tap the inlet manifold and even then it will be tight. 2. My turbo is upside down so the...

Re: My 79 Mk1 Scirocco.... Got low Genuine GTi... Nice!! Right the engine is in after fitting a new cambelt, waterpump and Polo GT camshaft.... With the new engine being alot lighter than the 1.8 8V.. its not sitting as low as before.. This is an issue that needs some attention lol

Re: My 79 Mk1 Scirocco.... Got low Not this year.. Im trying to make it look as much like an old original 1300cc Mk1 Golf engine as I can.. Once I know the engine is good etc I will make it shine.. i.e polish the turbo, gearbox and head:approve:

Re: My 79 Mk1 Scirocco.... Got low Cheers Folks :cool: Vacuum canister fitted.. It was easy once I worked out I didn't have to strip the dizzy apart to fit it. lol Mk1 solex manifold.. Mk1 Solex carb.. 5 GTT Solex carb... Nice and simple, no adaptors needed. Ive bought the camcover...
