Are you running standard throttle bodies??Very much doubt it, unless hes got a cable throttle from the start.Looks awesome, wish my conversion looked like that... but im some way behind you...John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUB JIMBOB Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Cheers for the good comments.Im running 2.0 8v golf throttle bodie as have to use a cable not drive by, had a bit of messing around with it to get it to fit properly.Waiting for my pipe work and green silicone hoses to turn up now, still got to sort out an cable accelerator and exhaust, then she will be on her way down to storm to get the emerald k3 fitted.I used a double sided rib belt which saved me alot of hastle with putting more pulleys in, i on added 1 extra pulley to route the belt to the charger.

Its a pain in the arse so andy said. He said he spend three solid days adapting the pedal itself to fit on pauls before even starting on the cable or the mounting, but then you might get it done no problems.He reckons a few more weeks to a month and they will be ready for us. Luckily im a bit further behind you (6 weeks lead time on the internals atleast) so i wont be ready for quite a while yet.Looks really good. I like the double sided belt idea, I take it you needed to change your original tensioner for a grooved one?john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooco Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 This was a very nice car before the work, now with the added power I certainly won't be trying to catch you up around Carshalton. Keep up the good work, you're doing great job there, can't wait to see it flying around SE London. I bet the guys at Longlife were interested !

DUB JIMBOB Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) Ive already modified a throttle bodie to use a cable, just got to find room on the pedal box now for the cable pedal, there is no room under there at all, attempted to get my dash out but god knows how you do that,just don't wan't to come out lol.I have put a pulley in for a ribbed beltThe conversion has cost me around £4000 i think inlcuding the bits i still got to get.
