My mates finished building his mkII Golf... *New pics*
 
Danny will know this car fairly well. It has been two years in the making! Mark has spent countless hours building this car. The only thing that he did not do himself is paint it. It has an Audi S3 engine, a custom ECU (Omex 600) and loom to take all the mod cons of the mk4 golf (A/C traction control/ABS....)


May I present the mkII golf:

Looks incredible - and an incredible amount of work.. A golf to be proud of at the end of the day though!

Glad to hear he has finished it.i remember when you first told me about it and i was lovin it,lol

Congrats to your friend he has done a fine job :D

Once the car has been mapped it will be putting out 280bhp!! I am ashamed to say that I have yet to see/hear/feel the finished car, unfortunately we live quite some distance appart (London/Bristol) However; I will without doubt have some vids by the end of July 8)


On a side note; Mark is the bloke who will be doing my engine conversion! 8)

Thats one nice car. Love the engine bay, looks very clean, and must be fast as hell :shock:

TransAm 05-28-2005 01:26 PM

Nice golf, looks like a top job he's done there too. 8)

SilviaEvo 05-28-2005 05:40 PM

nice job it looks liek he spent a lot of time with it!!! so he put in a S3 engine? is that the 1.8T like on the A4???

ZfrkS62 05-28-2005 05:44 PM

I think the wiring harness is the last thing i would have wanted to do myself :shock: Fortunately one of my instructors from school loves doing that shit and even has his own business doing it :mrgreen:

Congrats to your buddy on finishing his project :D

jon_s 05-29-2005 05:37 AM

SilviaEvo; yes it is the 1.8T. The engine was once an Audi TT's (only had 3000 miles on it) then he walked into Audi and ordered all the parts (Turbo etc) to bring it upto S3 spec.

ZfrkS62; making the loom from scratch is Mark's speciality! A bit like you instructor! Me on the other hand; I would run away...very very scared lol

cho_888 05-29-2005 07:05 AM

those are the best looking golfs, the news ones should look more like it. so aggressive yet still small and cute.

sikx5 05-29-2005 11:12 PM

Cool little project there, That must fly with that S3 spec engine. Even has Brembos on there :drool:

Awesome work there! Wow

Get ti dyno'ed and the 1/4 to see what it can do, looks like it'll blow the doors off most cars at the lights!

jpatino03 05-30-2005 03:41 AM

That is one savage golf. This is a very elegant car. I can' wait for the vids either. Has your friend done anything about torque steer? 280 is a lot to go the front wheels.

jon_s 05-30-2005 06:02 AM

It may be dyno'd at some point. It is going to Revo first to be set up properly. As for torque steer, he is waiting to see how bad it is first.

Looks tits! Is the mkII RWD or AWD?
