Looking through the PVW Top times i spotted a members name off this forum as the owner of a Mk1 Golf G40. Is this it? any more info on it? You know who you are

 

[Bohall]

Matt Heap built it and Boyd bought it as far as i know! Sold again recently. TT dash, billet wheels, audi handles and chrome bumpers. Some package!!!

1341 with a G60 charger me thinks, could be wrong though.

Barry, the hint on the former owner is in what you typed

and maybe even the sticker on the screen

Yes that is my old car and as I gaze upon its beauty a tear comes to my eye.

That was a great car and I miss it very much. I still cant believe that a G40 engine could produce as much reliable power as that car did. Many a 20vt'ed Mk1 was disapointed to see how fast that car went.
It only went in the end cause the ECU fcuked up and we couldn't find whats wrong, so I sold it on the proviso that it needed some attention. The guy I sold it to put a new ECU in it and then blew it up on the way to GTi International 05. I drove 40,000 miles without it missing a beat and he had it for just 6 weeks before it let go.

Great car and I won't have another Mk1 cause it wont live up to the expectations of [MWX 533P]

The Fiesta in my avatar had a 190bhp Turbo engine in and I beat him down the quarter by over half a second! yay

I was just reading Gavin's post on E38 about the spec etc and kinda knew it, plus the night before i was flciking through the PVW.

The MK1 was the "The Sea" this year with the rest of the VW Enterprises crew, and it still turned heads!

Aye, G40's have cracking engines, will be on to John and yourself soon enough for advice on my G40.......

Loved your mk1 G40, sweet car

A claimed 185bhp from Matt Heap, Which I believe as It did feel like it, but i'm just saying claimed cause I didn't ever get it rolling roaded myself.

I dont know how to do mulitple quotes so. Hear goes a few answers.

Dirty1- I do hope the Mk2 lives upto it, but the budget on the the Mk2 is no-where near what was spent on the silver mk1. Its a tough act to follow.

Bohall- it still had the G40 charger on just with a Jabba R1 conversion.

GSBellew- Look forward to seeing your motor, what sort of things to you want done with yours?
