This car is supposed to be finished in the start of june, when the main gathering of norwegen vwaudi club is. The only problem is that I do not have the left side ( same side as the steering wheel is on Norwegian left hand drive) chrome trim for the front. I was wondering if anyone had one that I could buy ? I am talking about the small plastic list on the side of the front.. small and easy to post.. has to be in a ok state and at least with 3 remaining taps at the back.. Thanks

what is in it right now? standard 1.1/1.3

Here a lot of people put motorcycle carburators (from a honda CBR for instance) on a completely prepared cylinder head using a home made (serge) manifold with a different camshaft,..

i donnow shit about this stuff but i do know that it is more fun and easier than finding a GK...

well, I have got 4 mc mikuni carbs to put on it, but it is more effective to start tuning on a gk 75 hp than a 55hp engine

true, but the base of the 75hp engine is the same, so find some parts and they will produce the same..

good job on track with it, theyre made for it.

well, the base is not really the same.. more similar to the gt mk1 HH 60hp engine ( with higher compression rate of course) but not to my 55hp HB engine..

HB has 50 bhp right? Indeed what Berend says, its the same basis so find a HH and do some modifications on this..

look on www.polo86c.nl, ok its in dutch but look at the projects..

ps aren't you afraid of ruining the paintjob with the racing....

better use a not so good painted car for that...

My friend Gallagher at the track yesterday, what an experience it was to ride in this car.

He would throw it sideways in the tightest corners, and wore out his rear wheel bearings like there was no tomorrow
