God, I know I don't ask for much (if anything at all).. but, throw some luck my way for this please! Cheers big guy.




Great episode!

 

will doing all that do a 16v really get 185bhp?

 

i'd hope so.

 

I want that car!!

 

never entered any of them 5th gear comps before.........

 

lol, yea it was hardly precise reading was it, lol

 

`Probably the best Mk2 Golf GTI in the world`.

Hmmm.....

Anyone got the comp details or when it`s repeated?

 

Some links in this thread to You tube and the 5th gear site so you can see it...

 

5th gear site video much better than the youtube one as that is missing the 1st 2mins.

Was a great bit of VW loving going on there & laughed at Tom from TSR in the vid.

& JK from Top Gear is a big Mk1 fan so VW must have been doing something right.

 

Cool vid, is it repeated on TV then or what?

 

Watch it as many times as you like.

 

ive still got it on the old Sky Plus, think this one has to be kept, !

 

Fantastic!!

Standard looking MK2 16V with stonking performance.....reminds me of my old bus CFJ fettled by the old Tim Stiles set up for those that know it from the early trackday scene with Bill, Gary(GVK) Graham from TSR, Macca in B6 TB valver to name but a few....the good old days of cheap fun.

Must get it back now!

Out of interest I kept the previous weeks episode on Sky with the FocusST 1.46.7 and the and Astra Ring Meister 1.47 ish and I note the valver posted a 1.45.9.
Tom (TSR) tells me it was still tight but achieved a 1.43 later but due to editing they had to rush through the filming.
Tiff was well impressed from his conversation with the lads over the phone.

Can't beat good old light weight MK2 valver with some basic engineering upgrades!

 

loved going in your white mk2 before ian at mallory i think

 

Love it! Looks the dogs too. Just re-confirms what we all know!

Bit pricey all that as a drive-in-drive-out I'd imagine..

 

Not from what I've spent on the MKIV which is now for sale

 

to few doors and to many valeves for you old man, you'd never cope with it!

 

thats not a problem, i will cut it in half, weld some more doors in, weld it back up again and remove one of the cams then i have another 5 door 8v

 

Top job on that mk2, anyone know if someone on here won it?
If so i'll swap you for a packet of crisps!

 

Competition doesnt close until monday.
