they do bolt on. I have a spare which i bought for the same purpose. never bothered to fit it though! both gt breadies ive owned have suffered this, yet have never seen it on any of the numerous coupes ive owned. strange seing as the doors are the same

mk4s are known for having shonky ignition switches. car will appear to have same syptoms as a flat battery. sometime it will fire first time, other times the starter wont turn over at all

14x6 et30 alloy wheels off of a manta, just had a diy refurb, not perfect but ive seen worse! ive got 6 of them + 5 centre caps and am looking for £80 ono tyres are all scrap hence why i havnt masked them. http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q233/g40jon/mantarims004.jpg http://i137.photobucket.com/a...

15"x7j 4x100mm et 39, centre bore will need 3mm taking out to fit on a vw. clean condition, but with some light curb rash on most of them. no centre caps http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q233/g40jon/DSC00469-1.jpg http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q233/g40jon/DSC00468.jpg http://i137.photobu...

its under the bonnet in the opposite corner to the battery

dunno cos your car is a 6n commonly known over here as a mk4, whereas everywhere else calls them a mk3! try asking in the mk4 section!

stick to polo engines golf and ibiza gti engines wont fit without major work and very deep pockets.
consider using a polo 16v engine instead, much less hassle

check everything is done up tight! you might have forgotten a nut or bolt. its easilly done. if thats all ok i would check the condition of the lower track control arm bushes

2 tyres have 5mm tread and the others have 3.5mm

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q233/g40jon/brumbrum009.jpg not the best pic, but you get the idea! 14x6 cant remember the offset but they fit mk3 polos nicely, spigot rings included, only 3 centre caps at the mo but I have won 4 more off of ebay. tyres are 165/60, 2 are a couple of months old, ...

15"x 6j et38 pretty good nick for their age, all caps present, fitted with federal 165/50 tyres, two half worn and two have a few mm more on them, so have loads of life left in them. repainted them last year and polished the outer edge. http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q233/g40jon/DSC00118-1....

for 14s up to 6.5 j 165/55s look the dogs. fit the rim perfectly and have a nice low profile. anything wider then 185/50 or 195/45s are the only way to go.
185/55s have a tendancy to scrub on lowered mk3s

hhhmm if its a 6n then im suprised as my old one had a s**t hot heater in it.

head will bolt straight on, the gt head is much the same, just has a more sporty cam. if you dont want to diy fit the carbs speak to bogg brothers - google them im sure something will come up!

why not! it wont hurt. in fact it should work well with the one litre engine, as it will suite its short stroke high revving nature. no point in polishing and porting the head, just buy a 1.3 head, it will have bigger ports as std. for other tuning ideas go have a look at what old skool mini owners ...
