just read 195/45. Should go, bearing in mind my 175/60's rub on one side.

kris, you may have to get rear arch work before you get that down, what profile tyres are you running

good gawd what gearbox did you have? :D I can see 106 just kissing redline at 6k, could go on to 114 or so before hitting limiter with enough of a hill.. cant remember the model number but its the late 4spd. Its totally different to the 8p which i have now, plus theres no limiter as it was carbed s...

the late german mk2's did have the NZ and 3F engines. thats why the late mk2 has the studs on the drivers wing

not quite, a bolt on that sits on the carb allows a much better airflow, These things have been tried and tested to ensure optimum mile/gallon and maximum power benefit whilst maintaining a good noice. The GT uses an airbox to make up for the flow meter and the wiring to control this. CArb doesnt ne...

only prob keel is you will be missing out on all that lovely noise, plus the air is colder with a bolt on. the aibox design is to run on injection mainly because they couldnt get bolt on filters set up properly

175s on 5.5J et38 rims cause scrubbage on the back of the G40 van, but only on one side.

yea i noticed that, why only on that one side??

will that golf air feed fit on top of a peirburg? Do you have a spare one?- also i have bought the kn displayed but dont rate it in the winter. The carb, is it a 32/34 dtml if it is i am after one,was it a good carb? the carb is a twin choke downdraft 32 dmtr. It gave a definite increase in torque ...

Ive seen the picture of the original airbox but with a k and n on the end of it, i think its a brilliant idea as I have a bolt on but is causing me troube in the winter but by keeping the airbox you keep the airflow meter as well. I was just wondering; what airfilter -part number etc is on there an...

not quite the right one, the air filter you want looks like this



thats what i had on my old pierbeg 2e3, then it went onto my weber 32dmtr

miss the old girl

if they scrub now, was their any need to put such large spacers on? cant you go for a higher offset with smaller spacers?

sounds good. I am fortunate though, bent my drivers side TCA and anti roll bar the other day, luckily cos the top mount and the lower strut are 60mm closer to each other it put less leverage on the tca at the time of impact

strikes me as very expensive though???

i have one of alans chips and really noticed a big difference in torque.

yea mine are 13's, 60/40 is by far the best of all worlds. Careful on going fully loaded or braking hard though, as funny noises occur
