We need to emphasise, this MK2 seriously advertises that "Build not bought" label, with steven doing most, if not all of the work himself, he bought this unmolested "2" in late 2007 from a lady owner from new....showing some really low mileage, damn, he's had it three years and it's only on 43k! its not even run in! he didn't have intentions of really of touching it, in fact, at one point they were just going to use the engine for his brothers caddy and scrap it, but steve, with a heart of golf, ahem, sorry, I mean, a heart of GOLD ( ha ha ) saved it from Dub heaven. So doing the right thing, the project began , because when acquiring a MK2, it's like being given a blank canvas, you can paint many different things with on it!
So here is the Spec now, after Stevens hard work:
It is a 1.6 8v, with a performace cam, ported a polished head, 4 branch manifold and group M sport OMP exhaust.
Standerd seats, with a team 280mm steering wheel.
