Jenk's purple mk2 track hack...Im sure it hates me

[Brummy]

theres a set of 15s sat in my shed with almost new rubber on and a car outside my house that wouldnt mind trying on a size 16's

lol

 

[jenk]

Would want some wide light ones matey, you on about your estorils? 15 x 6 j?


ONes had abit of an idea

 

[Brummy]

either them (but they got no rubber on ) or the original fit ones which all have almost brand new tyres on..

 

[Chrisdaman]

you know what i think of the union76 idea matey

 

[Brummy]

if it was somehow incorporated into the Gulf idea too

 

[Novataken]

Glad you got the motor back, Ill defo be watching this!

 

[Chrisdaman]

i'm glad he's got it back now, got a purple buddy hahaha

 

[Novataken]

Purple is best colour! Wish mine was purple

 

[jenk]

A gulf ibiza! Nice idea but im thinking subtle with the union thing.

Anyway.....what am I doing thinking about how it looks, theres lots of prep to do before all that.


On a performance note, megasquirt? Nice to learn something and get the 8v running sweet with the added benefit of being future proof

 

[wilz]

megasquirt and Throttle bodys are the future.

Throttle bodys and megasquirt is the future

Heads the wrong way round

 

[Chrisdaman]

doesnt matter does it, they'll still fit

the guy that did my megasquirt had a megasquirted 8v Golf Gti, it was SO quick, do it luke and you wont look back, trust

Dam didnt realise that. Got all excited.

Will megasquirt make that much difference on a standard non-modded engine?

Just had a quote with my current insurers and they want £330 for TPFT with a 2k millage limit. Thats mirroring my 6 years NCB I have on the mk4. My mk4 doesnt cost me much more than that

if mapped properly it'll flatten out the torque curve and therefore it'll pull like a train through the whole rev range, combined with a decent airfilter and exhaust and you're laughing, it'll be quicker than you would first think

jenk you're lucky, my insurance is 3 times that ffs

 

[jenk]

I was hoping somewere near the £200 mark.

Thats what I have read about squirting an 8v, get rid of those flat spots and hold power through the revs. Digifant holds back the juice near top end I think?

 

[Chrisdaman]

indeed, eddys 8v GTi golf was SO quick once perfectly mapped

Do it, it makes sense

 

[Novataken]

Dumb question but..

Whats megasquirt ?
