Project GTi

[Chris M]

Downpipe, made from 8 pieces

[Chris M]

Tailpipe, didn't stay that clean for long

[Chris M]

New I/C places in for fitment. Good job there's loads of room

[Chris M]

With front panel on:

[Chris M]

Clocks in, although i'm gonna change back to MK2 clocks. Had to cut the dash surround to get them to fit in, looks like a bit of a pig tho.

[Chris M]

New engine mount on, plenty of bling

[Chris M]

Front bumper and fog lights on. Sorry for the bad pic, camera phone.

[Chris M]

Were MK2's ment to go this fast Bye bye Mr cosworth
Even the dash is telling me to slow down

Private test track I presume! Awesome project by the way. How does the mk.2 handle more than double the original bhp?!

[Greg_S]

where did you have your exhaust made? what IC are you using now?

[Chris M]

Car handles fine, you get used to the constant wheel spin when wet. Never fails to make me smile when the loud pedal is pressed

Exhaust was made at powerflow, guy who makes them does bike exhausts and also did my side exit.

Intercooler is a Merc sprinter one. Not as efficient as my front mounted S2 one but it does the trick and doesn't hit every speed bump.

How does it feel over say 120? My 16v golf (which is a little tired but straight) feels a bit wayward at high speed and does not inspire anything like the confidence the S2 does. It the your golf happy at high speed and what's it like compared with the S2?

Cheers,

Hate to break your heart, but your old S2's faster than that

[Chris M]

Golf isn't too bad at over 120. It happens that quick your more worrying about what traffic there is ahead on the, err, track

Yeah S2 might be quicker flat out Ross but 5 seconds later the needle was off the clock

S2 is a heavier and sturdier car and at high speeds in the S2 it feels like your crusing compared with flying in the Golf.

Cheers,
Chris
