Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Twin Turbo Vs V6 3Ltr conversion

Better ask rogue systems ;-) There was no rev 6 tubby in standard guise only 1-5. Upgrading the tubby you have to a >rev3 one is porbably worth it for power gains but your not going to need to change the whole engine. If you want a direct comparison and discussion around tubby vs V6 then use the sea...

respray from red - pitfalls?

I read somewhere that the paint needs to be trated first if you are going from red t another colour to stop the red coming through, is this true?

Do mk2 seats fit the mk1

Currently undergoing a full resto and engine swap on my mk1, wanted to know if the mk2 seats fit as they are a perfect shape for me.

Re: Bigger arches and wheels that fit

Nice! Should be good, i wanted something with flared arches and just wanted wheels that would fill them. I like the idea of the GT4 big brake conversion too so would need to be running at least 16" wheels.

Bigger arches and wheels that fit

Has anyone fitted wider arches to the mk1. Was thinking about the mk1.5 and getting a bit more rubber on the road, therefore wider rear tyres. Could you use the 215:225 setup as on the mk2 with wider arches to accomodate?

as1833, the car is a fresh import, not registered yet.

Interested?


Why you thinking of selling?? I'm sure there are a few people on here who would be sorely tempted! ;-)

Re: Valuation required please

Given the time of year you may get between £3400-£3600 as its a rev2. Had it been t-bar or rev3 then would easily have been over £4k. Prices do seem rather inflated at the moment so its a good time to sell.

[Mk2] [Generic] Clear rev1/2 or 3 clusters...interest?

If i could get a small custom plastics company to reverse engineer the rev1/2 or 3 rear clusters in a clear version rather than the red/orange, how many people would be interested? Obviously this is a preliminary question as i don't have prices as yet but just getting ball rolling. The idea would be...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] another how much is it worth question??

If it had been a t-bar then i would be giving you that £4k right about now :-(

I think its prob worth that, what with most of the engine work having already been done. Good luck with the sale!
