Plenty of good spec 8v engines Ive seen on rallye reg :D

come again, i have no idea what red lining it cock man aha.

its proberly just general wear and tear if im honest jay the cars covered 120,000

thats a good idea man, keep it simple maybe tan leather or black just to be subtle.

id loose the times though if i got tan leather man :) show that pimp shit off aha.

you need to look for so long to find a decent set of gti leathers i paid 400 for mine.

yea man not many people do understand what iv got lying around and the fact its probs cheaper and it'll be lower mileage etc.

thanks though tom i need someone to have faith in me lols.

there are some good spec 8v's around but everyone says slap a VTS GTI lump in lols

fuck that

16v is the more powerful engine, more to life than just power else people would just bang v8's in the lil saxos :D

8v is only a little slower than 16v really, but both can get ya a driving ban, the 8v is also as a rule more reliable in my experience

you should buy raceland coilovers lol

''gets up and walks away from the computer with a smug look on face''

Oh, thats shit aint it. Makes me feel good though as we have the same "type" of engine (old 8v) and mine has just rolled onto 70k. Still not a bit healthy though lol. Hope everything starts looking up mate, sure it'll look/go well once you worked your magic

thats it mate, couldnt put it better really.

i find the 8v a fun drive plus its lighter than a 16v lols and the rallye is all about weight well kinda.

want it to be a quickish car that looks subtle and give people a false impression.

ill give you £10 for yours yea?

yea sam its shit at least youve got at least another 50k on your engine lols
i have no history on the car though or know how its been driven sam so im sure yours will last ages.

im sure things will look up soon and yea it should go well bud :D thanks again mate.

Should last a while but plans to have a valver lump in there are approaching. Shouldn't be a standard one either :D

16v is rubbish aha

Ya really

LOL i do like the sound of a freshly tuned 8v lump. but i think the cost involved in nursing mine to full health and tuning it will outweigh the cost of dropping a valver in there

Im planning on tuning my 8v lump Lee as I am in the same boat as you...I dont want to be the same as everyone else, and its refreshing being different ;)

Hope the rebuild goes smoothly!

Lee, hide when you turn up at the meet. I will kick you in the nuts so hard if I hear you go on about 8 valves again. :rage:

So what if loads of people do it. It's done for a reason. Stop being so stubborn, and do what's right.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Game on :boxing:

:drink:

Lee knows I mean no harm. :)

I knew you meant no harm ;)

8v = WIN :P

Better to happen now though rather than when the suns actually out and its warm and you want to go for a nice drive! :)

Good luck with the rebuild, plans sound good and im sure itl be quick just like the old 'R' ;)

i understand you like your 8v but whats the point in spending shed loads on a 8v and then getting mullered at the lights by some dude in a vts with just an exhaust and filter with a combined cost of jack shit?

Your one of them guys who stands by the phrase 'it doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning'. Racing off the lights isnt everyones cup of tea Torreto
