Why, gosh darn it Daphne, I think I'd start with the search button
lol yep just been doing that, so all i need is one cam? or a camshaft from a golf gti?
It's only got one cam, so yeah, I think I'd stick with just buying one
Someone was experimenting with a golf camshaft, broke a couple of them I think!

yeah...errr...that might have been me! i made the mistake of following the haynes book of lies and sheared the bugger...and then another! the 3rd one worked though! lots and lots of torque with one helluva strong midrange. i still have that cam if you're interested (put the origional back on when I sold the car)
yeah very interested, how much bhp did it add? and how much do you want for it? could you fit? thanks
"could you fit?" I sheared 2 of the buggers!! would that be wise? dunno how much bhp but a very knowledgable race engineer from E38 told me to expect up to 10bhp depending on engine health and other mods. my old 8v made nearly 130bhp with 150lb/ft with a crap air folter, a knackered air flow meter and a blowing exhaust. got all these sorted then fitted the cam and it was most definately quicker. slightly lumpy idle and I'd doubt it would pass an mot with this cam fitted (pre-emmisions). you can have it for 20 of the Queens finest English pounds plus postage though mate.
