I guess you can call my MK4 a Project :P

I might be replacing the Trans on the V8 soon.. since I found one cheap. Gotta see if the rear Diff is messed up though. It was towed w/ two wheels and destroyed the already dying trans :(

Unfortunately I won't be doing much with it since I am soon to be unemployed but the plans are to get a narrowed beam and lower it about an inch or so in the front and an equal appearing drop in the rear. The only purpose is to reduce the body roll a bit. I know it's not water cooled but ehh whatever lol.

I don't know if I would do it on my car but that is pretty hot.

03-06-2009, 02:46 PM
i love those bugs, it only take like 150hp to be a 12 sec car LOL, cant get any cooler than that. id so rock one!!

Ender81
03-06-2009, 03:10 PM
Yeah when I restore it I am thinking of preserving the engine that's in it since it's original and dropping in a 1776cc dual carb setup with a better trans. Not all that exspensive, great performance gains, and like you said it doesn't take much.

i want a vw so bad lol..always have..always will... :(

GTI_NY
03-06-2009, 05:38 PM
LOL arent they like 40-50hp stock, which equals 24 sec car. i saw an all VW special on speed channels pasttime

Ender81
03-06-2009, 05:56 PM
I think the 1600 dual port engine was 60. Mine is 45 which means I have a top speed of just over 65. 1/4 mile time is roughly 22-23 seconds. I am really thinking of getting a vanity plate that says "0260 ha"

93 they aren't all that exspensive you just have to wait for the right one. This one isn't perfect but it only cost 1,500.

Thanks, I just procurred the wider wheels for the poor man's wide body. Porsche turbo twists staggered 18x9 front & 18x10 rear w/ 20mm wheel adapters they should be wide. All, I'm waiting on is the 1552 fender kit, should be out in two months?
This with a new lsd should help my traction issues?

In keeping with the thread I just fixed the gas pedal and the valve stem on one rim now I just need to check a couple fuses and bleed the brake lines and it will be ready for the summer.

I wish i had some pictures but i repalced all four struts with those new koni streets they were cheap and offer a little more performance then stock. i also had to replace the strut bearings cuz they were trashed. oh and changed the oil . now im faced with the delema of what to do with my vehicles since the mk4 isnt really gettin much intrest and with my ship date growing closer i might have to sell the mk2
