riley that is lookin very sweet! What gearbox have you got coz considering your revs the speedo is way of the clock, more than i have ever managed
its a caddy diesel box code (4t). would like to meet a 9a block,low mileage.... the speedo and car were bouncin all over the place!freakin crazy suspension the speedo needle hits the mileage reset switch
I had exactly the same as that out of the old girl today with Velly coming back from Castle Combe but she was gripping lovelly as we whizzed past a Jag . Was whinning & popping lovelly .
Love the car and the especially the wheels, I want a set of them or similar, is anyone selling any or know of anywhere you can buy em from? What make \ model are they? This is my first post btw so hi all! I drive a Mk1 Carbiolet in white at the moment, totally standard but am looking to add a set of coilovers and alloys, not too big, but nice and wide (preferably deep dish). Any info on coils or wheels grately apprieciated, want to keep some ride quality if poss! Many Thanks in advance Chris.
Oh, Riley, is your video still available on the net for me to have a watch of? I'll post some pics of my car later (when i remember which webserver they're on!!) Cheers
welcome m8 have i seen u on pvw? wheels are rh cups with polished dishes 8 and 9 x14s. style dynamix do some pretty good deals on euro look deep dish rims,sorry vids no longer available [:^(] someone hosted it for me and its disapeared...
Cheers fella, I'll have a look on style dynamix site and see if theres anything I fancy, I like the idea of having fatter back wheels, but dunno if I should get the coils first incase it bottoms out. I'm also getting a lot of creaking from the front end and the left side wheel seems to skip a bit on corners and really doesnt seem planted, it has new standard shox & springs, but could there be something else aswell causing the front end to knock and creak (sometimes sounds like dash, sometimes sounds like roll bars or something???) I'm a memeber of golfgti.co.uk forum, but never been on pvw and have only had my mk1 for about 11 months Cheers, Chris
al,i reckon i was pulling about 120mph [:^(] id only just gone into fifth(need more power!!!),and it goes on forever being a diesel box,ive hit the mileage reset before chris,you are best off going for the coilies first then you can play around with ride heights and stiffness settings etc...not sure on the creaking spring may not be seated correctly
ohhh ohhhh a new lady no probs mike... 3,2,1...all together nowpics,pics,pics just jokin,welcome,ive had the mk1 around 5 years
Mk1's rule! Just picked up a V (1980) Mk1 GTI 1600. Previous owner had the body fully refurbed 2 years ago, genuine new panels and bare metal respray in Black. Needs more poke, was gonna keep it standard, but after seeing your cars, I've changed my mind! Looking at 16V. Is your Mk1 a KR, Vick? Did you do the conversion yourself? What wheels are on your car? Questions, questions!
