Currently trying to find time and motivation to work on her... but next up is to sort out my dodgy crank position feed, which is causing her not to fire.

	Looking good. Are those Ibiza suspension turrets in there?? Much nice design than the mk2/mk3 top mount arrangement

	You know what, I can't remember what they are!! It's been a while since I've posted in here, but things have moved on significantly! She now runs and drives Well she did until I decided to take the engine out at the weekend.... but there's method in my madness, in that it had a stock clutch, and that wasn't going to last long with close to 400bhp. I also had a rebuilt box with Quaife ATB sitting around too, so going to slap that on also. With a bit of finger crossing she will be ready for GTI International. Not sure whether I'll sprint her yet, but will see how much time I have for shakedown. Couple of more recent pics: Before I ripped the engine out again... Forget how big that blower is... Thought I'd change the guides and tensioners while I was in there... Forgot to buy flywheel bolts!!!

	thats wicked! iv got a standard 8v which feels quick to me (first car was a 1.0 polo) that must be a very "involving" experience!

	I'll bookmark this one. My mk2 vr6 is pretty darn lively, but I'd imagine one with a blower strapped on is truly mental! Quality mk2 for sure
