Same motor but a little bit of funky ECU tuning which should give me a teeny tiny bit more power at wide open over the old motor. Plus some throttle body adjustment, and a degree or two more timing advance so I can run 95 for a cleaner burn.
Would be a fun car, big wagon for bikes and girls you can't go wrong. Keep those back seats down permanently, I've found owning a wagon is to giving people lifts like a ute is to helping move house.Same motor but a little bit of funky ECU tuning which should give me a teeny tiny bit more power at wide open over the old motor.

Should be good for at least 215hp at the crank, with extractors and a high flow cat to come.
VW's look sick dude, so intrigued by the work you do
Know that feeling, you are doing better than me at the moment. My car project is seriously stalled at the moment, waiting for new diff to be built, everything else seems to be in a holding pattern as a result.
Every one repair makes two new problems, right?
If it was only two new problems I would be sweet! Logic gets perverted in modifying a car. I bought a car that I really like, modified the way I wanted mostly and sweet - really would have preferred a manual though. Engineer knocks back the diff and gearbox crossmember, go through the options at the end of the day a 9" seems the best value outcome, means a new tailshaft...if I am going that far may as well put in a manual hey...custom made diff...obviously that calls for a set of custom made wheels to suit the narrowed diff :thumb: Like I said all logic goes out the window. Engineer knocked back the brakes now I could have gone with a set of stock brakes but hey Brembo is clearly the logical answer...fuck I just want to drive the thing.
Need a bigger engine to justify bigger brakes, too...
Love the grill tail light, looks awesome!Shit hot dude, should be proud of that one. Same engine or does this one have more bells and whistles?
So after playing with indicators all night and not having them work, today I tried using the foz's battery and everything suddenly works, not sure on that but hey. So indicators work, tail and brake lights work but I've got them reversed for sake of testing/photos, and the custom 3rd brake light is in and I'm pretty content with how bright it is at night now. Will edit pics in when phone charges.
Just noticed it's half a kiwi fern, representing my half kiwiness. Can't help bad luck...
This is the way that conversation normally goes...
Cheers dude, tempting to try and run some orange led strip's in there too for indicators but probably massive overkill.
You're bang on there, WOT in the twisties is the most fun you can have, while lugging around camping gear and bikes for a mad weekend.
Ooh, pics?Had some great fun in my 66kw 3 cylinder Renault Clio today on some tight winding back country roads. The sort of roads where chassis balance, steering feel and brakes is where it's all at, but the little 3 pot is happy to rev it's head off and it all makes for a hilarious drive at sane speeds. Fun times
