Wouldnt know m8, i bought it with the engine in it. but its not really a difficult conversion. its a common misjudgement that an 8v has more low down torque, at no point in the rev range does an 8v have more than a 16v, it jus appears that way cuz of the extra pull you get high up from the valver. mines running pretty crap tbh so isnt making much power, need to get the carbs set up. ill get round to it at some point.

hmmm, nice wheels.
question for you....

whered you get them?
how much you get them for?
and do you have the contact info for the guy you got them from?

reason i'm asking is...THEY ARE MINE and they were stolen and sold to you....i guess now....

any info you have would be GREAT. i'd love to get my money from this jerk.(not you the seller)
thanks josh

see....
picture of them when I got them......

what the hell.... I think matty would want more info than just somebody coming on a forum and spouting off they are his before hes gonna give you info like that... Also dude... surely would be better doing this over PM not public?

relax... i PM'd them as well
plus i posted on wheelwhores, Vortex, caddy, OE,E38 etc...i'm not a scam or anything new.
you don't want to hear about a SCAMER in the VW world? or you want to wait till they hit you? i didn't post who or where....they can email me the info privatly.
i have a ton of friend over here that have been trying to find my wheels along with bumpers, coilovers, lugs grill and other parts this "guy" stole from me and sold.

look around, plus i'm not just some joker.
i own a VAG tuner shop and i am well know around as well.....

what happened then fella? did he just not send you the parts or take them from your house? gutted for you

Pm'd

What you been up to matty only joking bud, i know you not in the wrong.

Good luck with catching the thieving scumbag josh. I hope he/she goes missing

thanks....yea jamie truman...scum, was "hired" to get me a 99 lupo, coilovers, THESE wheels, bumpers, lights, grill, etc maintance parts, adui pepperpots etc and then deliver them to a friends shop(i was paying jamie for his time) he got everything, gave pictures and all. delivered the lupo and the audi wheel only. then slowly sold off my other prts "to live on" he says.....these wheels were i guess traded then sold on ebay to here....
there is NO angry to matty on here at all. not thier fault! angry is 100% on jamie scum bag who says he can't repay me- no money

Thanks m8, really sorry to hear how things have worked out for ya.
Id be on the hunt for a cheap flight ticket if i was you tbh.

all the best.

i SHOULD be coming over there next year at some point for a show and hang out....i would LOVE to see his face when i show up...

will be good, id like to see his face after youve left

hope you can get something back from him

Not up dated this in quite a while so thought id bump it up abit lol

its been on the rolling road and carbs been set up as best they can with the home made linkage, im buying a prober 1 shortly.



is in winter mode at the mo with the brick pslots as you probly saw at the meet.

theres quite abit id like to do to it for this years season but tbh ive lost abit of love for it lately as im thinking of other things and got alot on at the mo. Any1 interested in buying it? lol or swaps maybe?

if not ill do some of the things i want to and see if that brings back the love or not lol and try n sell it at some of the shows.

Defo for sale now peeps just in time for some summer fun for someone

will not come with the tramonts though btw

so offers please, or why?

What are you doin!, i was only joking about the floppy top! KEEP IT!

wanna swap the mk2 for it?

or do you wanna swap my steelies for your shinyssss?

i dont really know what im doin actually, seems like today ive had a moments of clarity lol im thinkin a littl ebit more sensible cuz im trying to get a house as soon as pos.

come on msn i think you may like what ive got in mind!

Bit of an update,

seeing as i didnt get any decent offers while it was for sale it seem im keeping it for a while longer.

so needed to get it looking fairly decent for the shows, see needed to get the tramonts back on but first they needed polishing because id kinda neglected them over winter.

Had to wind the coilies back down from bein on the pslots and set some neg camber all round to get the stance i was after.

also needed to give the roof 1 hell of a clean cuz it was almost green all over from being sat outside all winter, i used renivo softtop cleaner and protector.

as a result it got to Ultimate dubs looking like this:




Also fitted a new headunit and 6x9 speakers into the rear door cards (thanks mark) so ive got abit of tunage now

also got a carbon gearstick surround just for a few extra scene point lol

goin down to MVs friday to collect and fit my new twin cable throttle linkage and 8mm HT leads, and try and figure out the fault to why its not puttin power out at higher revs.

IM FEELIN THE LOVE AGAIN

Maybe more pics up when i get home onmy computeer.

love it dude! cant wait to get some piks once got my camber done too with the d50 whoop whoop

your all loving the camber these days. the cabbys looking smart again matty,

are you gonna bother with a respray?

I love the camber just cuz i can get it lower lol and i dont have to drive it everyday.

Erm dont know still, depends how cheap can do it really.

i love this cabby...


simple as that really,


*thumbs up to this*

best car on the forum for sure. best mk1 in the scene to me just needs to be lower

Thanks guys, even if its not deserved lol

cant really go much lower billy cuz if the wheels, unless i g60 stylee the metal arches but then the sump and wisbone mounts will be on the floor before the splitter is

Couple more progress pics now im home,

6x9s in rear door cards cant be seen once doorcard is refitted and dont sound too bad.

Carbon gearsurround and polished grenade gearknob


Couple of polishing pics, they still aint great but alot better than they was
