No mate, the original manifold is all an alloy casting with water heating from the cooling system.

I had a mate cut me a 6mm steel plate on the CNC machine at his works, and I welded 4 pieces of tube to it to allow the carbs to fit on. I also had to drill a tube to fit the vacuum for the brake servo and ignition timing.

Tidy, good way to do it.

Nice work mate! I'm thinking of fitting bike carbs to my mk1 derby, ive fited a 1.3 hh, have you got any photos of the inlet manifold you made? Cheers

[whitbytom]

Cosmetic update, tewaked the suspension down a bit more and fitted these! ;D ;D

I'm luving the cats bud.

Phone Bogg Bros, they are really helpful, they convert Zetecs in kit cars about once a week! Number is 01944 738234

With Carbs and a couple of other Mods you can achieve 100 Bhp, which at twenty odd less than a GTi is pretty respectable. The standard carb on the 1.3 is awful, and doesn't help matters, but the engines are really robust, so can handle a fair bit of tuning.

100bhp would be a nice amount. how much do u reckon ud need to spend to get to that tho??

[horney™]

Where did you get the wheels? Are they mini fitment with wobble bolts? Looks awesome!

[ollycarbs]

[benouzzz]

-1 for the malt cross

[idlewillkill]

Nice dude, am considering a similar approach with my Scirocco! looking good on the Alleycats.

[CR500Dom]

Looks very Tidy, I`m impressed

I am seriously considering doing the same to Janes Syncro

It has a decent exhaust on it and I have just got a Fully ported big valve head with 272 cam in in thinking Bike carbs will be the final touch now to really let it fly ;D

Perfect for Blasting around the Alps this winter

OOOF text book slam n' rimz, love it!

Cheers Guys!

Not sure really, it depends where you get the bits from. I'm tight really tight so try and pick up bits out of classifieds and off the bay. Depends how much you wanna do your self too. A cam and a 4 branch would prob set you back £2-300 if you're prepared to wait for the bits to come up. Clubpolo is a good site ot look at, they're good at getting max bhp out of 1.3!

Wheels are mini fitment with wobble bolts, picked them up off a lad on demonvw. You can get them new with budget tyres for about £450 from mini suppliers

Why -1 for the cross? It's the result of my first attempt at stencilling on a rainy afternoon? I don't think anyone gets upset about the war connotations do they?

[whitbytom]

BY THE WAY....

This is to be seen in the Classifieds section if anyone is interested?

Unfortunately it's making way for a new project

I like it but for reference they are not maltese crosses but Iron Crosses.
