Hullo,

I've had a little hunt about and can only easily spot Piper and Schrick replacement cams for the 1.4 8v.

I have a real hankering for the Piper rally cam (280 degree) from Awesome for about £170 but I know that I need to consider other parts required, increased wear and ease of fitting.

Any experiences anyone?? I'm really not fussed if the car drives like a dog normally, as long as it opens up as I edge towards the limiter! Plus if I can get a bit more of a gargling sound out of the exhaust from a lumpier cam, it'd be allll good!

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheerz, Jamie.

I wouldnt bother with a cam in a 60BHP car myself. Seems a bit of a misnomer.

If you were going for one I'd definatly not recommend anything over 275 degree (fast-road). A large degree cam just shifts all the torque up the rev band, which (out of experience) makes normal driving a lot harder, needing a lot more gear changes as it wont pull away as easily in a higher gear.

Shrick is more popular in VW circles, especially amongst VR6 drivers...

Schrick

only Schrick use VW banks and grind them to how they want them, so its aol really OE so i believe.
