1983 Mk1 Golf Driver. Having a software nighmare...

Post by Thrasher »

Had this for a couple years now, solid, never been welded.

Has the ( nasty ) early type 1300 engine with about 8:1 c/r and a four speed box.

Sitting on coilovers, new brakes, few other bits and bobs, and soon - MEGAJOLT :D

Cut down a loom from a '94 Fiesta ( saves me having to muck about making my own loom - I'm colourblind !

Need to machine this lip off my pulley wheel...

To fit this...

Need to mount he crank sensor as well obviously, going to use the factory bolt hole in the block normally used for the timing marker at TDC.

Need to learn how to program a " map " as well, haven't a CLUE what I'm doing, I thought I'd found a how to on it the other day but seem to have lost it now. :(

Still a lot to do, getting there though. :)

What do you mean nasty, I love those engines :P.
Although, that may be because I own the only three of them in Canada, lol. The grass is always slower...I mean greener I guess ;).

I've got a GF code one in the green car, an HK in the gold one.

On the GF it has those odd exhaust port hole heaters for the inlet manifold...just don't like em.

The HK doesn't have those and also benefits from dished pistons for the higher C/R. :)

Funnily enough , the GF is flying now I've de sludged the oil breather of 30 years of clag.. :)
