Got bored today and thought coupe looked a little high ;)
Soooo pulled struts out and ordered some mk1 golf strut inserts. Going to use some vr4 Mitsi springs I had lying round (higher spring rate and thicker coils) also cleaned block down and had look and crank condition. To be honest it's near mint :D so will take it down to timaru at some stage and get it rebored etc. now just trying to get redline manifold to fit my flows :deadhorse:

Cheers bro skids up and all that :lol:

Not sure yet Kitch. Bottom ends being put together at the moment so will know once get engine in the hole. But yes I think I will need a push fan setup like yours.
