So, as its the new year soon my resolution is to get my mojo back.
This involves pulling my Golf out of hibernation for some much needed work.
When it was last on the road almost 2 years ago it looked like this...
You will probably be glad to know that it is having a makeover in nimbus grey ala Audi TT
Getting rid of the big wheels, rat look curse word etc...
It really is a solid car and has most of the right bits, all i want is more power.
So what i would like to know is....
It is a 1.6 Driver and me being of limited mechanical knowledge in regards to engines I would like some advice.
My plan is :
1.8 16V KR engine will it bolt in? Can I use my 1.8 Tour Gearbox?
Bike Carbs and Bogg Bros Manifold Do they need management or can the just be run like twin webers?
Sorry for all the questions, I would just like to get an idea of what i will need, and I'm sure somone on here must have done this swap, in return i will do How-To guides on all the body mods as and when they happen ;D
Oh and a rough list of parts would be most welcome
Regards
Matt
