  1. Just a little update.

  5. Hey everyone I hope you all enjoy this read and I hope it also inspires others with there own project builds. First let's start with a bit about the car. The car is a 1991 MK1 GT painted in 6l2 blackish green. The car was purchased back in early 2011. When I first got it the car was fairly standard as far as I was aware as my knowledge of these cars was very limited at the time. Specs when I got it. Aparrently forged pistons on stock rods? (more on that later) Ct9a running 1.2 bar. (Aparrently running 180bhp. Don't see it myself), Hks actuator, Standard ecu with fcd an rrfpr, Front mou
  6. Hey everybody, I've been using this forum for many years now taking advantage of the search function and scrolling through build threads for inspiration but never actually posted anything on here. So it's about time I introduced myself. So here goes. Hi I'm Matty, I'm 26, I live and work in North Norfolk around the Fakenham area. I work for a local agricultural contractor which takes up most of my time but when a do have time off I enjoy nothing better than getting the tools out or just going for a drive. I am the proud owner of a 1991 mk1 ep82 in 6l2 blackish green which was actually my first
