Had this about 8 weeks now.

Is a nice Little car to drive.

 

Is 4 speed, 1.6L.

Lowered about 3" in rear, 2.5" in front.

GTi Flares and Front Lip

Recovered Dash

4" speakers in dash, 6x9's on rear shelf.

 

Plans are

1.8L, rebuilt, balanced, ported and polish head. bigger cam.

5 speed box

 

have all that in shed waiting for me to drop in... mainly CBF has kicked, the little 1.6L runs pretty well so see no need yet.

Yes FWD.

nice pickup mate, theses go great for what they are with a lil work, gd luck with it :)

So been a while since updated, basically been working flatout on it.

 

Now has the following

 

1.8L

Ported head

Bigger cam

electric dizzy

32/36 weber

Extractors into a 2" system

HD clutch and light flywheel

 

Spax 2" lowered springs allround

Bilstein (i think) shocks allround

Genuine GTi Front and Swaybars

Front lower Brace

Some Nissan seats (so comfy)

Sports wheel

 

Found a Genuine parcelshelf and holders, now fitted with a granny rug over top ;)

Replaced all window rubbers, slightly tinted windows.

 

It sits a bit higher now which is ghey, but it handles 100X better.

 

this is the second 1.8L thats been in her in 2 months.

First one went it, drove for 15mins, washer and bolt holding weber filter plate down came loose. washer ended up down carby and smashed some valves :).

 

Havnt got current one running yet, got timing problems but its in and cranking :S

 

 

And the Sticker Says it All :( :D

And the Sticker Says it All :( :D

Seen one of these out the front of my tech. Pretty cool looking car. Must be a hell of a lot of fun to drive being a 1.8 with all of those mods.

Shame you broke the first engine. Need some 12" rims with an equal amount of dish and it would look awesome :S But seriously...

any plans for some fat little wheels?

Yeah one day,

 

13x7 and 13x8 hopefully.

 

And yes its a giggle to drive, alot of torque in a small car, front wheels just turn to smoke in first 2 gears,

and it lives, turns out all this timing problem ive been having was a bad electric dizzy, or sender unit.

dropped in points dizzy, turn key, done :S

cool looking little car, i like it :S

Cheers mate.

 

I like it, a bit different i think anyway.

cool little golf, I dig these things. My mate had one that he nossed.

 

I'll move this to the non-toyota section as well.

Ah, i love these things, they come up on melburg luft a bit.

yeah you see one every now and then, but most are owned by enthusiasts which is good, you know they getting looked after :lolcry:

 

got new plugs in today, got a mate coming over later with timing light, going to time it up set gaps on everything, adjust idle and mixture and then i should be good to go :jamie:

so, got it timed, the mark bounces a bit so was hard to time, so gotta find the cause of that.

Float level is low and mixture is off a bit.

 

But even with those niggle bits holy sh!t does it move :lolcry:

 

and the noise, omg, the wife could hear me two blocks away from inside hahaha
