i had sent this to you by pm but thought i'd put it in here because the question will be asked again.

Before i fitted the new arches i put a series of vertical cuts in the original arch (roughly...

www.pro-tecmotorsport.com do a complete mk2 golf rear disc conversion for around 350. everything needed included except pads!
All new parts, disc/hubs, bearings, calipers, mounting brackets.
And...

I built another standard car as a reliable car because the wide arch one was too solid on the road. it was all rosejointed and not very drivable on Irish roads. The car was never as perfect as i...

I bought the kit from Pro-Tec.
For 350 i got arches and sills and for 500 you get that plus fibreglass bumpers. I'd say stay away from these bumpers because if they need the work the rest of the kit...

The blue wide arch nova is one i built a few years ago.
You don't need wider bumpers i used the standard GSi onesthe front one will go one easily because the wings aren't much wider than the...

ta me go han mhaith!

with the 8v engines there is enough room to change a rack.

that is odd. i just got avo coilovers for the rally car 2 days ago and the top of the front coilover is curved like the standard you show and it will fit into the top mount perfect.
Can you take off...

the plate on top of the old shock. it bolts up into the turret with 2 13mm nuts. there is one big nut in the centre to open to get this off the old assembly

The pro-tec kit will be fine as it comes with no cut out for lights front or rear so you can cut for mk 1 headlights if you wish.

As the lads said mine is a Pro-Tec kit but i'm led to believe the supernovas one is similar.
Pro-Tecs one comes rough and needs a lot of fine work to get it all lined up as its not intended for a...

I clicked on to this preparing to type a big long explaination but thankfully cambridge got there first!! :wink:
I think it was you cambridge that went through that with me before too.
Anywho,...

I too never dealt with him personally but did read a lot of his stuff on here.
My deepest sympathies to family and friends.

Sorry to hear ya sold it but has to be done sometimes.

As phil said already you don't need an oil cooler. An oil cooler isn't even needed in a 2L 16v.

Obviously oil will piss out of the pipes if you leave them there :roll:
You can take off the...

hey jim. ya don't get a lot of time on here these days due to work and of course cars!!
its in the 2L section by the way!!

wheel spacers are only a balls of a job. you will spend a small fortune on wheels bearings!!
as jim said its not easy to get the kit right as they come rough as they are orginally for rally cars. ...

yes the presure is way too high. you only need a mechanical lift pump or a facet pump for a carb.

Obviously you can't just stick in bigger injectors and go because you would be just over fueling.
In the Group A Nova rally car setup the bigger injectors that are used are 20xe ones along with an...

That was a good while back alright Daz!!

Well done there.
I haven't been out in my own yet. Its pretty much finished but haven't got myself going yet!

The link below shows mine which is a pro-tec one.
Alot of work to get it right though. if you aren't a panel beater yourself it will cost a lot to get it fitted and looking anyway right. its not...

Look back through this forum. everything was explained at different stages. if you want to know anything after that pm me
