Mk1 16v KR ZX9R bike carbs :)

That is all for now

should explain a bit more. My mk2 scirocco project has ended :( no more money, time, or interest to continue with it, so i'm breaking all the good bits from it and moving on.

went to birmingham to pick this up. 1.8 16v mk1, interior is pretty shabby, but nothing i cant get around.



i fully love being back in a mk1, already put my rocco seats in, and compomotives on

future plans are, many more lows! coilovers look a bit seized, so i will have to free them up as it needs to go down around 2 inches all around after the arches get rolled.

need to sort out the waterlogged footwell aswell once it's water tight again, i will sort the interior out for now though - im









more to come soon

Look nice man shame about the rocco why dont you keep the engine and slowley build it to put in the golf.

Cheers mate. I did think about doing that, but this is the 2nd g60 based engine that has gone wrong on me, so i think I'm going to steer away from them. I do keep looking at the bahn brenner website at the 16v turbo kits they do. I might get myself a broken 16v engine and build it up over time. I'm just enjoying the fact I've got a working car for a bit

Looks good man

sexy wheels

nice

Cheers mate, I may need the number for the man who set yours up on the rollers. Mine is overfueling a bit and seems to be hunting a little. Still goes nicely, but the stink of fuel is another reason for my girlfriend to moan about the car. Along with the leaks and rattles

ha ha yeah man

what you doing with the old ones? sell me them?

I'm not gonna use them, so I will text you a price. Also sold all my engine parts minus the bottom end. The dude didn't want it so I can keep that to 1 side for you if you want?

Probably gonna have to purchase a touch up pen for these wheels, stonechips are a b***ard on them already :(

a couple of updates, got myself some "smoked" front lights with decent bulbs. i can now see at night which is a bonus, the candles in the front kept blowing out at speed



also sprayed the badge black, got rid of the chav massive surround around the petrol cap, and changed the inserts in the door handles to black. car is now a chrome free zone

also fitted my g60 brakes with s2 calipers. still bedding them in, but already there is a decent improvement on the brakes



i will have some better pictures at the weekend. clutch is being fitted at the moment, then i will be waiting around to fit one of these



oh, and the backseats lasted all of 2 weeks

Disc's on the wrong side mate.

Headlights look good, been thinking about getting some smoked for mine. Did you find someone selling RHD types or did you just go for some normally for a left hand drive car?

Discs can be mounted that way round to lee


Nice work mate, cant beat a nice valver in a mk1 i think

Ah I didn't think it mattered too much. Still seems to stop pretty well.

Lights are just for a lhd car. I just adjusted them down quite a bit and it's not too bad. 10 times better than the standard lights. I'm sure I will be able to bend the ear of the mot tester when the time comes

Well yeah but are'nt the grooves there to allow dust etc to escape when rotating

think its more for heat. Whittle posted loads of pics a while ago of different cars with them that was round.

I've seen em fitted both ways, different manufacturers have different fitting directions but its usually printed on the disc.

'Grooves are for removing dirt and gases from the face of the disc.' - HiSpec Motorsport Catalogue.

'Cross drilled discs offer improved feel/bite and are a more visual option for 'show cars'........ We do not recommend the use of cross drilled discs on any track day car or vehicles used for motorsport applications.' - HiSpec Motorsport Catalogue.

Depending on which way the grooves flow, I believe they create turbulent air flow for better cooling, but only if theyre designed for it.
Before reading that i thought it was primarily for heat and keeping the pads surface cleaner

All that matters is they work and don't seem to fade so im happy

Got some pictures of the rocco seats. Much better than the tatty crap in there before



Back seats didn't last long! got my strut brace in there aswell, but it needs some serious tidying up. it's on my "to do" list.



1st up though is to address the terrible door cards. half the clips are missing and they look like a beaver was used to cut out the speaker holes



that's next weekend's job.

had a bit of a cleaning session with my girlfriend cleaning her beetle aswell trying to educate her!





i've now got it lower, arches need to be rolled before i get it sitting how i want it though. does rub a bit on the back. got a little bit of camber up front but nothing major so that i have to change tyres every 2 months





and a few more boring pictures









i've also managed to convince my girlfriend to buy me some carbon fibre arch spats for my birthday

^f**k yes.

looking good man

Lookin schweet.

Cheers for the comments trying to decide on which carbon front splitter to get. It's gonna be dropped another inch or so once arches are rolled, so I'm thinking of getting a cl splitter. I would love the bigger one that whittle has, but don't wanna spend £120 on something that's gonna drag along the road all the time :S

Haha you got in there before anyone else

Think I will wait til it's at it's lowest and see if the plastic one catches much. I've got the carbon bug
