Curtis Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 yeah, we're a rare breed us mk1 owners, especially the sport!Just a quick update, managed to replace the foglight finally, it looks weird now having one used fog and a crisp, shiny new one!still yet to be fitted is the new gearknob, the old one appears to have been superglued in place, so i'll probably have to saw it off, unless anyone knows of a decent dissolving solution i can use to destroy the glue?Got some paints as well to colour code the bumpers, and i'm still waiting for a decent day to get started on the alloys...

Curtis Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Well that was embarrassing...Took Joey to an open day at a local tuning place. Put him on the dyno for a laugh...73bhp and a devoid of torque between 4 and 5k rpm... Well, a bloody good service, a map session, and some better induction work should sort that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, a bloody good service, a map session, and some better induction work should sort that Sports ran 100bhp without induction and mapping. If a good service doesn't sort it out, then its either fecked or doesn't have a sport engine lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Exactly my point >.< They asked if it had any mods, and i was like, amateur induction kit and a new exhaust, should be around 100bhp. Looked at the 'curve' and it was horrid! I'll get a scan in when i get chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
