    out of interest why has he put a 1.8 20v n/a in? im just wondering as it has only 10bhp more than the 1.8 8v gti engine or 10bhp less than the 1.8 16v gti engine. seems a lot of work for very little again.

    info about the Golf my mate sent me

    1991 H reg mk2 golf
    1.8 20 valve NA ADR engine code from a audi A4
    cosworth engine management with waste spark system
    custom remap
    4 branch manifold
    KN filter
    No CAT fitted due to age of car

    Interior is good if not very dusty may shampoo it if I get chance has a recaro half leather drivers seat and the rest is standard no parcel shelf though

    Exterior is white with a few stone chips but very straight for the age of the car no rot on the car at all it has the big bumpers on the car but it didnt have originally so the bottoms of the bumpers are very dark blue you cant really tell but would look loads better white and some lemon has put parking sensors in the rear bumper (there not connected) and there are no side strips on the car I was holding off for some original GTI ones but aint sourced any yet not that ive looked far

    Underside is shockingly solid this car will require no welding for a long time yet

    it sits on G60 steel wheels which look super cool and its lowered 40mm and handles well

    Its has new rear calipers and a new master cylinder and im going to put a new timing belt, roller, tensioner and hydraulic tensioner on there before it goes as the tensioner is rattleing

    in responce to the question regarding the engine conversion this car weighs alot less than a rear wheel drive audi along with the remap, 4 branch, kn and decat its not even comparable to a GTi 16v and eats VR6's too

    it has MOT till july

    the car at the moment runs a little rich in my opinion its adjusted by a little Potentiometer screw and could be adjusted by yourself with a little trial and error or ideally put on a gas anylizer and done to perfection ive just lived with it and drive it everyday it never really causes a problem

    looking a GT pref a 94/95 but will consider newer bodywork not an issue aslong as its presentable but must run very well with no smoke or nasty knocks and must have MOT
