so have you raced mk1's before? got any performance tips and the like?

VolksFolks · 10 May 2005, 10:49 pm

have raced them before on grass track back in the UK, rev like a italian, lot of rear wheel lift, be sure to use decent sway bars, twin choke it, 4 branch exhaust, race camm better ignition, you will be right, enjoy

Any pics!!

nah no pictures at the moment, all we have done at th moment is rip out everything in the back to reduce the weight further :-).

There aint much watercooled fun to be had here. VWVortex has a bunch of get togethers and a strong community. Its cool to hang here, but there is a lot more happening elsewhere.

BTW, I drove DSG MkV GTI on Monday after the photoshoot with my MkII, and it is as good as they say... no wait... Better!!!

I love Mk1's. Whats yours got?
