hope you like the car as much i love driving it(1000km with a tank and still does 0-100km/h in 8s with clutch slipping on 1st and 2nd) :

and the 0-100

you have a nice ride.
Hope you can find a nice relation, between boost and reliability!
It's almost there. :wink:
-
for city driving its good as it is now.
even on bigger travels i can mantain a good speed without flooring the pedal.
the temps are lower and only making 0.5/0.6 bar at 140/15 on straight 8)
just trying to get some time and money to instal a new and bigger downpipe and advance the pump a bit 8)
-
Very nice
Did you install the oil squirters?
-
no.
the engine is stock rebuilt 1.6D.
still holding fine even at 180km trips at 140/160km/h 8)
-
Hey, that is a very nice car, very impressive. Love the videos. Why did you take off the GTi Lip spoiler?
-
i take off the lip because on the roads i pass it was too low.
i am going to lower the car -6cm so the lip will be riped of in 1km...
80-120 in 3ª: 5s
80-120 in 4ª: 6s
80-120 in 5ª: +-8(?)
with the fuel i have now the car seems to drown in fuel and not accelarate as fast but i think as soon i chage my stock airbox and paper filter for one open air(with custom heatshield) and larger downpipe that issue will be gone

Kick ASS!!!
-
I know I'm jealous... I want a lot of that for my Terc. New paint, better seats (though the SR5 factory ones are really not that bad) engine perf, BETTER GEARBOX... That is one heck of a ride I must say.
-
thank you.
for a daily driver is very good,still high mileage with a tank and very good performances! 8)
-
Looking very nice indeed, and that's a swift looking 0-60. I've just got a set of clocks from a GTI so I can get a rev counter in, as I really miss not having one!
Has the intercooler made a great deal of difference? Did you up the fuelling at all?
Cheers,
Tom
-
i mounted the i.c. before increasing fuel so i dont know if it would make any diferences but i bet it would.
as for power upgrades i have uped the fuel,turned the lda pin to the agressive side(pin number is 51) and turned the WG screw all the way in.
for now i am not with much fuel as my wife didnt like the smog the car was making lol.
when i have the time and money i will replace the downpipe with a larger one and as soon as the cone filter arrives i will try to make a custom heatshield and replace the stock airbox and paper filter... :oops:
-
Looks good! I like the westy grille and lights, something I intend to try on mine at some point.
Tom - try this as a tacho, might be easier than fitting the golf clocks.
