"79 Mk1 Scirocco".. 1272cc Carburetor Turbo Project

[Dave..]

Yeah it's his pride and joy. Only ever seen pictures of it though. Everyones told me I need to meet him since we're both obsessed with cars.

Keep it up with the scirocco, be good to see the finished article!

Cheers Dave. It won't be finished for 2013 but it should be close. :approve:

I want it still. Just saying.

This.

However I am dispointed in the lack of boost. f**k minimal.

 

[Winston]

f**k boost!! It will have a race spec 1.3.. 110bhp of epic power haha

Bike carbs > Twin Webers.

Just sayin'

Surely you could get bike carbs from a german bike?

 

[Winston]

I already have a pair of Webers, Manifold and trumpets. You never see race cars using bike carbs? being from a German bike doesn't stop them being ugly.

 

[welshname]

See them using bike engine heads

 

[Winston]

LOL fair point:approve:

 

[Winston]

Not in 1979 though

 

[Hutchie]

<3 cant wait to see progress in 2013

 

[Winston]

After all the arguing..... I have sold the Webers and bought Weber throttle bodies

 

[Winston]

[Winston]

Cheers guys. My plan is to have it in paint by the end of September.

 

[Gray]

Looks awesome, Winston.

 

[MarcoB]

I think the thread title needs changing because those carbs are disappointing compared to what the title suggests

 

[Winston]

Thank you Mr Gray

What carbs??:quiet: This car is all about form over function. The turbo leaves me with to many extra parts in the engine bay.

 

[jamie rigby]

mega

love the bodies.. obviously haha

 

[MarcoB]

Quick glance they looked like twin webers but I can see the injectors now

It's probably just me that wanted to see it have a turbo tbh, I thought it was a bit different.
