That thread indicates 150bhp plus from a 16v mark2?
Holy crap, that'd be a giggle

The 16V i'm sure was meant to be 130 standard so that's a nice jump.

My anorak memory suggests 137 for some reason, so as you say Ben, a pleasant boost that would suit the peaky nature of the engine. It'll still look standard for your bufty shows then Russ

The good thing is you can swap the 1.8 kr block and head for a 2.0 abf block and head and bolt all the kr parts to it as they all fit straight on.

you can keep the standard box no other mods to do and you can see around 170 bhp with the WUR mod.

I don't blame you for not want to dick about with it, you've already got the yellow Missile to muck about with.
Keep up the good work mate.

Have you and stu actualy counted up which one of you has had the most cars?:)
And yes you are correct, The 16v is rated at 137hp.

You could always buy it back for what it owes me?;):D

Thanks for the links mike!
I realy do appreciate that so much can be had out of modifying a golf, But i just want to enjoy it for what it is.
For me its the perfect classic as it is. Its fun, Still quick enough for a sunday blast round the countryside, Its not flash or brash and has all the modern comforts i could need. After all i still have the merc for proper back to basics motoring!;)
Oh! And not forgetting that the scoob does flame well on the over run even when parked on my drive, So in the eyes of my six year old lad that makes it the fastest coolest car ever:smilielol5: and modding the golf could not replace that.
Genuinly thanks for the input guys.

Here we go, another Golf for Trev!
As for how many me or Stu have had, I'd guess Stu's had more (He went through a company car every six months when he was 18

)
I've had some many as they've always been cheap and normally crap, so expiring before too long.
I had the Sierra's longest (4 years for the white one, 2 for the silver) everything else has been pretty temporary.
I'd have another Mk2, but I can't be arsed to sell the Cupra. It's a good car, but.........
