not yet. 24hrs time it will have a modded intake.... too quiet by far

pulled the throttle cable through so I get full throttle now

T-cut the bonnet with a mechanical polisher - looks much better now... just the rest of the panels to do now.

washed it al quite well.... will get in there with the engine cleaner on the inner arches tomorrow though

bugger

I've bought some spacers now

drilled the airbox on Saturday too, that's sounding much better since removing all that inlet crap out of the way.

There's no F in Quality..
mark,

you need to do a "must-do" list for new owners of Mk2's.....

1. FIt rear spacers
2. Replace orange side repeaters with clear ones
3. Remove all air intake junk
4. Drill airbox
5. Pull accelerator cable taught, providing full throttle
6......


etc


:D

that would be schweet mOrk i just bought my 8v cuprasport gti and need all this little info as this is my first beeza.

I did have a cordie sx (1.6 version) but i sold it for a faster car and immediately missed it so i suppose i got the bug!!!

If you open the bonnet, and look at the airbox on the left hand side of the bay, there is a load of plastic cowling etc around the back of the drivers side haedlamp....

this basically restricts the airflow into the airbox....

it doesn't 'do' anything and can quite easily be removed ;)

as for drilling the airbox, have a search, it's been covered hundreds of time !!! ;)

Well, my Spacers turned up today - fitted them (made sure they sent me ones with a chamfer) - they arrived 'next day'

My HID's also arrived - posted Monday from China.

Fitted both HID's and spacers inside 30 mins - HID's cause zero dial resetting, and I've not seen the interior lights dim etc.

best bit - they're the cheapest ones I could find - at £22..... and are just the same as the £180 set I have in my garage with the wrong bulbs
