Battery box and number plate looks sick mate. Though you love carbon just a bit too much to be healthy.

Would it not just be lighter to use the sticker number plates without any backing?

I was thinking that aswell... I do think those ones are cool though!

yea but they wouldnt be carbon ;-)

Be on the road soon?

should be, but then i said that 2 months ago

I wont be driving it over winter though anyway.

hurry up and get it out the garage we need that space

I need/must go out in this.

I think i love you.

Bit of a random 1 but what fuel pump are you running? Standard? I'm unsure of what pump to run on mine and how much the standard 1 can take?

I'm using the stock pump and the accumulator

The engine swap guide I followed said it will be adequate to about 225 bhp

If it gets fuel cut then I'll upgrade it and pop a swirl pot at the bay end too, we will see.

Ah I see, maybe something i should look into a bit more. All a big learning curve doing this sort of thing nevermind all part of the fun I guess lol

Ive only just seen the pictures with it on the THs..oh my lord.

In my top five cars on this site. My approval is better than any trophy tbh; cherish it.

yea man, id imagine youd get away with the stock rocco pump for the time being then upgrade it if the map requires it. Lots of people bin the accumulator, but its worth keeping it if you plan to take it on track or 'b road' hillclimbing. obviously a proper bay mounted swirl pot would be worth it instead.

cheers man, i lovw them on their own, but i was thinking of painting them silver as they look too black on the car.

but they definatley need some spacers to sit properly, the rears just arnt wide enough and look a bit lost

but this photo does look sick, although i massivley need the bonnet painted ;-)

safety did you manage to sort a lsd for it as yet? I bet thats a handful in a straight line on full boost but torque steer is major fun, can you remember bombing back from y2sk8 in my Polo GT all those years ago?

Your both effectively ditching the k-jet set up for digifant. Digifants dont need the accumilator


TH's look awesome

Thats 2 mk1's on here with them now so i've ruled them out as dailys for mine

the accumulator is essentaily a swirl pot caddyrage.

its got nothing to do with k jet

Its needed for starting purposes mate. Keeps the pressure to metering heads on k-jet cars. They wont start otherwise.

Next time you come accross a digifant mk2 golf gti, you'll notice the accumilator is missing from the fuel pump assembly

4° of win ;-)

ET25's tom?

yea the ths are, but its too much they hit the coilover lockrings. but i dont think they make an et20 version

the g60s and rms are perfect et, they're et 16 on the front and 9.5 on the back

et 20's for coilover clearance yeah, but then they'll poke too much being an 8j wont they? shame they dont do a 7.5j otherwise they'd be a brand new set on its way to me

well i spose thats down to taste. i like a bit of poke, but i notice you tend to go flush. different strokes for diffrent folks i guess.

i was thinking of selling them anyway if you're interested?

PM me what your after and i'll give it some thought mate


I wanna try get some that sit flush, pretty much like how my turbo's sit so i dont have to mess with camber and height.

I have seen some 7j TH's

What would you replace the THs with dude? IMO, nothing suits what the car has been built for more than those...unless you're getting centrelocks.

As everyone knows the increase of camber makes a car cooler by 10% per degree. Congrats your car is now 80% cooler
