I just became a paid member as figured im going to ask a lot more q's...I noticed a discount benefit with Vibra Tech, which brings me to ask what engine mounts are you all running? Id rather be on the stiffer end of half way between but not competition. Any recommendations/warnings?

Errmm, havent had much free time lately but getting back on it now. Loom is going off to be done soon so that will be a major step forward. Got a Sachs clutch on now & just ordered some of the most expensive bolts in the world from VW to mate the box back onto block.

Changed crack pipe and thermostat in the last 2 months, real progress. Cheers.

Hi Daveyboy. Honestly not got much done. Looms away now being done. Bit of a wait but will be done properly. When the weathers a bit warmer I can get back to the Moto commute and take the golf off the road. Everything parts wise in the garage, just the usual busy busy. I'm going to say by end of March it'll be under way. 👷

Its begun...finally. The rear beam bushes completely went on friday so theres the excuse to take it off the road. Started on Sunday morning and have the monster of a 1.8 engine and box ready to pull out except releasing the cable clutch...which i might just cut to save the headache of wasted life spent in a mk3 pedal box. Anyway happy to have started.
