Bout time i put up some pics of this. As you can see its a 5 door oakie 8v.

Just throwin these up now but should have proper pics tomorrow and i'll throw up a list of specs then.

This will give you an idea though.
Let me know what ye think of it.

Nice! My favourite colour for the mk2!

this really is a savagely clean motor. sorry about the crappy pictures sean. we'll get some better ones tomorrow in the light.

cheers for sorting the pics out for me conor,i owe you one.

Oakgreen MKII's with big bumpers are just lovely IMO

Nice one

this is one of the cleanest and well kept examples of a mk2 8v you will come accross!..love this car looking well sean!
pics taken long after i scattered?

cheers ocky,about an hour or two after you left.

Looks a nice original car too. I'm all in favour of keeping them original

Lookin' good.

Another sweet Deise M2!!!!

nice and low!! lovin it!
whats it dropped??

cheers,ment to be 60mm but i think its lower.

they turned out realy well conor thanks a million,i wouldnt have the first clue how to sort pics and post them.

cheers

savage car..just pure savage!

Looking good lad, that was my old machine,i had it for over a year. ye its lowered 60mm, i did it myself. reg plates look good on it. thats a fast little car. have you done much work to it since you got it.? i did a lot of work to that car, it was one sad looking sight when i bought her.

woo another deise 5dr im not alone, looks savage like the pics from dunmore harbour clever stuff. well wear

see you all the time around the city and AOL looks very tidy

a very productive evening we had!
some fuckin crack of a noise off it

Nice seen it around the town a fair bit! Did u buy it from stephen white by ne chance?

why would you set up the intake like that? its sucking in tons of hot air, just a question, not trying to start anything..take off the first bend at the tb and refit itll be way better and place filter where it should be

cheers,i sure did.

Cool i know the car so

just playing around with few different ideas,got late so left it at that for tonight,want something different but not sure what,its only reving to 5000rpm now guessing its down to the setup???

no its down to the ignition timing, although warm intake air aint helping things either

thats what i thought but its only doing it since fitting the intake pipes

do tell more

the amount of bends in the intake tract is making it hard too..

the hot air is causing detonation leading to the knock sensor sensing pinking thus pulling the timing.

any suggestions on a different setup with the bits i have?

ya remove first bend at the throttle body.

that was the original plan,just wanted somethig a bit "unique",

its unique alright

throttle bodies might be a bit more "unique",

ya, but buy a beetle crossflow head.

i just think its time to do something nobody has done before,just not quite sure wat yet.

its all been done thats the thing, do me a favour, bolt a g60 to a gtd and fit that, im anxious as to how it would go and sound.

ive actualy thought of a g60 diesel before but i dont want a diesel mk2,what about super and turbo charged?has anyone here ever done this in a mk2?

ya!

Saw this car on Sunday its really nice motor fair play Sean. Did you get those clocks in?

nice car, love the colour ride height looks spot on too.

cheers,yeah fitted them in cit before i left.

cheers thanks.

Standard airbox, drilled and a K&N or similar panel filter will give you the "noise" you want and give better results than a cone filter, as Brian said, due to the heat in the engine bay. If you want to keep your cone, put it where it's meant to be and build a heat shield for it.

im not really after noise to be honest,just something nice looking without losing power.

Lol, I'd be after power to be honest

me too but something nice looking to.
