i drive a MkIII Volkswagen Golf GTI and she is the apple of my eye.
i have owned her for nearly 2 years now - and i've done a little bit but nothing major to the engine.
i took my friend andy out to meet my friend leigh last night and they stood around looking at the engine and making a list. now some of it i understood and some of it just went right over the top of my head.
the boys are making a list for me - its a little different to the list that i had, so we will see which items are necessary and which ones are nice-to-haves.
my requirements are :
i want some more power and acceleration before 3500-4000rpm.
i want smoother acceleration - better response.
i would really like another 50bhp.
shes done 180,000ks and i would like another 100,000 at least from her.
my list was :
gearbox rebuild - fix 2nd gear synchro
extractors
cold air intake
port and polish the head
whats on the boys list :
