Title: A nice little mk1
Post by: phil1975 on May 28, 2012, 09:23:04 am

I was looking on the trader last night seeing what mk 6's go for when I found this little gem.

Far too much power. They only weigh 900Kg!!

I'd put in a 2.0 16V from the Mk3. That would still be very quick. The best balanced mk1's seem to have around 160-170 bhp, which is loads for such a light car.  :smiley:

A mk1 can handle a k03 20vt fine and can muller a lot of cars below 80 (with the suspension and brakes done of course) and you get sheds more punch than a 16v - they are an absolute hoot. I agree a k04 would be a bit too much for the agricultural chassis. Maybe I'm getting old but I dont miss my old one and prefer a modded ed30  :surprised:  Rosy specs off, they feel very old to drive as standard.
