Just to add another thread to the mix. This mk3 is a daily but will see some 1/4 mile and light track action next year. I have set some goals for this project. 1: keep the car as practical as possible, it's a daily after all. 2: a nice wide spread of torque to help pull the mk3 along with. 3: keep the cat for mot and road side CO checks. 4: try to dampen the eaton whine. The price of mk3's has hit the floor, I've never been a big fan of the mk3 but that this price I couldn't turn it down, having driven many mk3's is one thing but living with one day to day is totally different. They drive well and are soild, Once on coilovers they handle well and safe plus stop well too, plus on the 16Vs you get the 02A CDA box which is a bit too long of N/A but works well with a boosted engine. Here it is. Came with this hot air cone filter kit LOL Found a std airbox and removed a few bits I didn't need. Smoothed the inside and blocked off the hot air feed at the rear and opened up the cold air feed at the front. A mate found these for me. Big thanks Al! Much better
This lot helps Got this nice intercooler off ebay Start'd on the bodywork last week and welded up a few things. A mate said it looked like a cow. God only knows what he'll say when he sees it this time. Thanks for looking.
this is gonna be good. how are the weitechs? im so so despirately tempted to get rid of my *****house eibach set
Cheers Matt! This is the 3nd car I've put on weitechs and I've found they to work well. Have also fitted they to mate's cars and they all seem happy. Pop down dude for a test Matt.
well i think im about to reinvest in some coilvoers... this time ill try to test them before i buy and not end up up the creek like i have with the eibachs. ill keep an eye on this thread. there was an eaton mk2 abf at the amd rr day. i think that made 240bhp and had a great power delivery
Alright Buddy, how goes. Did'nt realise this was getting the eaton treatment to. Looking forward to seeing another screamer
That mk2 was my old daily it went from 8v to 16v abf on Toyotec M/S, before I sold it to him I took him out in my eaton'd powered mk2 and 6 months later he came back...LOL that thing is all about torque, loads and loads of it.
this should be good what management are you going to run? and will you have to lower the CR to run the charger? soooooo tempted to charge my ABF'ed passat next year
Cheers dude, Going to use Toyotec M/S, will be using two head gaskets to lower the C/R. Just eaton the Passat.
Small update, had some free time to sort out a coil pack and plug Ford and VW working together. Had this sitting around waiting for a new home 'WFT' Small pulley kit Mounted the intercooler, fits like it was made for the mk3 More updates soon.
Cheer dude. Yep it'll be stealth-ish, looking for some 16" OEM rims at the mo as I plan to go 312mm up front.
Small update. Got some more body work done. O/S is all ready for paint Light grey roof. Here's some of the vans from work.
looking good mate, I've got some 16" mk3 ani wheels with yokos on that have only done 200miles for sale. Click my sig link for a looky if your interested. Looking forward to seeing this.
Yep saw them on your thread they look sweat, but I think I've sorted out a set of mk4 16" BBS which look the same apart from them being 6.5 wide.
