G60 VV

Well I thought I'd put up a little post of the final bits done to my motor!
Bought the car of a mate of mine (C1ark on here, who now has a moonstone 3 door ) who had kinda killed it

So have basically put a whole new engine in it, and these were the final bit to get done.

A little trip down to Star Performance on wednesday.

Work done:
Full front Poly bush kit fitted
New top mounts fitted
Front coilovers fitted (back already on)
4 wheel alignment
Rolloing road tune.
all for the pretty good price of £250!!!! (not bad eh? )

Some minor adjustments...



then the power down


Here's the run - http://media.putfile.com/G60-VV-on-the-rollers

The ride feels really good now and very tight, a very noticable difference with the new poly bushes fitted

So the outcome of the run was slightly lower than what I was hoping for, but only just, as this was running the std airbox, as I'm still waiting for a hard pipe kit for my induction

Was hoping for 215-220bhp

Actual run - 212bhp
(not bad for being 160 std. )

So Basically, once I fianlly get this kit on, I should be exactly where I was aiming for

Jim did say however that I was running quite rich , and he couldn't get the Co below 2.5! probably down to the injectors. He's also said that the std injectors are more than up to the job in this power range and would be able to get a bit more out it on them

well at least now I've got a figure to work from!

Looks great

i love golf rallye's, should have stuck a vr or 20v in there though i used to have a mk1 cab with a g60, man that thing shifted! and the noise the charger makes is amazing

G60 VV

thought about doing a 20V in my old Gti
But when I got this I wanted to make it a good example of the G60, plus with having the reg plate on it, it would have been off if it wasn't.

Yeah the sound of the charger is sweet, really turns heads , and with the boost return on it, gives a nice woooshing sound off throttle

Muska

mine used to scream like a firework! flames from the exhaust were quite common too, managed to kill my mates 225 audi tt so i bet you can do some damage with 4wd! can't get teh vid to work by the way

*edit* got the vid working!

couple of pics of mine for you...

Lou Lou.

love the look of that good results

G60 VV

V Nice Cab Muska

It would be interesting with a few things, if I could only find the gear when I really need to It's not all sloppy, but had a shortshift in my old Gti and loved it, a bit different with the cable box's
Looking into a few options though Mk4 shifter

Btw. my brother 'n' law is going to be doing the same as you just now! VR in (my old ) Mk2 sweet conversion!

Muska

yea, its a good conversion, mines a bit of a sleeper and its just gone for sale on edition38's forum.

ps, the syncro is bad on the cable change boxes, 1st to 2nd

G60 VV

Looks like quite a tidy install. I notice it's just running the single cooling fan though

are you getting any pics of the rest of it up? seems like a good price too.

Muska

yea, im just about to get back out and polish it!
the single fan has always been adequate for cooling, i've not really messed with it too much anyway, bought with the intention of charging it within 6months but change of job etc...
hopefully it should sell at that price.

G60 VV

once you get it all polished up, fire through all the pics to me. k1mac25@yahoo.co.uk

I really shouldn't but may consider it myself

Muska

will do mate, nice one

Did i give you the disc with all the photo's on it.

Was going like a train just before i sold it to you to felt pretty nippy last time you took me for a run. when that saxo apeared

GVK

Nice Rallye, they seem to be popular at the minute.

G60 VV

Really need to get some of my own shots of it to add to these new ones

BM08

C1ARK

G60 VV
