My 1992 GTI

[KeithMac]

I've got my Atlas Grey Mk2 16v on the drive, fitted a stage 4 G60 to it with BBM front mount alternator brackets. Runs Megasquirt efi now. Really need to pull my finger out and replace the gearbox and get it back on the road..

Used to do trackdays with it, Koni coilovers and bigger arb's, poly bushed etc.

Timeless classic the Mk2 Golf, good call!.

That thing sounds like a hoot! Any pics? How'd you like the Koni coilovers? I found a set for really cheap that I may jump on...

[KeithMac]

I'm going to resurect it this year, put it on the back burner while trying to get the gto into the 11s.. Konis are great for track use but a little too much for bumpy roads.

Had Koni top adjustable shocks and Eibac springs before that and they were a great road setup!.

Used to post on clubgti uk site, me and Trev16v imported the BBM kit. Had the BBM 16v chip in. G60 ecu when I first when over to efi but it was far too rich off boost.

When it was still on k-JET with some Kent 1602r cams it did 165bhp on the rollers, not bad for a 1.8kr!.

Is yours a 2 litre?.

I run Mk4 rear calipers as well due to better handbrake mech and some 4motion front disks, calipers.

Totally different expedience to the 3s and I have to say after jumping out of my 16vg60 into a stock gto-tt I was a little underwhelmed. Up to 120 the Golf would have murderer it!.

Would love a Mk2 Limited (2l 16v g60 4wd from the factory) but they only made 71..

Will try and get some pics up when working on it, had load on aol but they deleted them all!.

[DocWalt]

I think I'll hold off on the Koni coilovers then.

BBM's kit is pretty nice! 1.8kr making those kinds of numbers must have been great fun.

Yup, a 2 liter 9A.

It's definitely a different experience, especially through the bends.

[KeithMac]

Bigger Anti roll bars make a real difference, think mine were Neuspeed?.

I tried 1/4 mile with the Golf after fitting the charger but it wouldn't launch on road tyres, just smoked them..

Good to see another 3s owner with a Mk2 as well!.

[DocWalt]

Still on stock swaybars for now, probably going to keep them for a while, depends how they do with stickier tires.

Mine smokes them through first as it is now, more power would be pretty silly

Now I just need to buy a 3S again

[KeithMac]

Yeh you really need one of each, best of both worlds then!.

Is yours a rod change box or cable change?.

[DocWalt]

Rod change box, rebuilt linkage with a short shifter, so it's not horrid. Would much prefer cable shifted, but oh well.

[KeithMac]

To be fair rod change give a better feel but cable change are stronger. Diff rivets are the most common problem on the rod boxes, theres a bolt kit you can fit but you have to strip the box to do it..

[DocWalt]

Meh, the feel is kinda mushy compared to how my VR-4 felt with cables.

My brother's Jetta actually came with a bolted diff trans in it, which makes his brand new trans worth more than he paid for the entire car, including a spare trans and a bunch of wheels and other boxes of bits. He has 3 ISVs now, heh.
