No mate. No matter how big your filter is your TB is still the same size. Im expecting the standard injectors will be fine with an ajustable fuel regulater, even with twin 40 throttle boddies. Bigger injectors on a stock engine is over kill imo. The stock injectors are not max'd out so upping the pr...

been looking for this ever since I saw this thread!

What happended when I tried a 0-60 run last year!

My N/S wheel bareing went on my 19 16v and made a grinding noise when I turned right.
This also stopped when I braked.

This could also be a possablity.

-120mm all round

Likeing the wheels though.
What are the Falkens like?

If you cant get anymore air into the mixture, theres no point putting more fuel in.
That make sense.

You shouldnt need bigger injectors really unless you have upgraded the induction.
Only really needed for Turbo'd and TB'd cars really.

No they wont fit behind 14s mate. They'll fit behind 15s no worries, but I can only just squeeze my 256mm discs behind my 14s. Not sure about the size issue mate, Lupo discs are thicker than the G60 discs, so our lads have been useing VR6 pads to compensate. Not sure about the other way around. I wo...

We'll never know. The cars engineless atm. Although, I'll love to test the theory out when the 1400 is in and set up. Be intresting to see the diffrence the extra wieght of the Polo makes. Is it true the Polo GTi weighs only 20kg less than the 1.6 mk4 Golf? 1200kg? Was chatting to a guy at pod, who ...

Yes mate.
You dont need the hubs, or calipers.
All you need are the discs and caliper carriers.

Straight swap

The thing is, being so slow isn't so bad. Every time I drive my 1.0 it brings a smile to my face. More so than my Phase 1 19 16v does. When its moving I can keep up with a lot faster cars. And learning to drive a slow car fast gives you so much satisfaction. Unless we're on a duel carragway on our c...

Rember the quickest 1.8T in a FWD car only had 150bhp.
It was in Ian Carvels 1.8T Lupo Cup car.
Mapped by Jabba Sport, they gave him 150bhp from 2-5k rpm.
He used to be able to go around the track corners in one of three gears, and still have 150bhp.

Thats the way Id be going about it.

Like I say mate. Ive raced the girlfriend when she got the Saxo, shes not a quick driver at all, I got off the line first, but she pulled away with no effort at all. Its not a biast view, Im being honest. I have both cars on my driveway, and hide the Saxo as far away as possable for obvious reasons....

What parts of it do you disagree with?
All of it?

The car belongs to Bills Wife from Badger5 Its a Golf 150hp engine tuned to 253bhp from the standard KO3 turbo. He was useing Brembos, then went to 256mm GTi brakes. Last time I spoke to him he was gonna go for 280mm G60 brakes, although I dont know if hes fitted them yet. As I say its his wifes car...

I had one on my Lupo for a while. Lost a lot of back pressure due to the lenth of the thing, and the fact it lost the main back box. Was fine while on lowering springs, but used to be about 2mm from the ground when I dropped it on coils so used to hit when I went around a roundabout. Yes they are le...
