The brakes are 256mm disks with golf 16v callipers and audi 80 carriers and a brand new tilton bias adjustable master cylinder. The original G40 brakes are also included.

Engine

The engine is from a j reg G40 and has done about 160000 miles in total ,it was rebuilt by myself at about 145000 miles using PSD accralite 77mm pistons making it 1341cc.The main and big end bearings were replaced along with all the bearing cap bolts and head bolts and oil seals. The rods were balanced. The crank and rods were checked and found to be within factory tolerances for a new engine .I have a folder full of history to prove the car has been looked after all its life. The head is a big valve(1mm larger exhaust) ported head which was done by PSD using new valve stem oil seals and hydraulic lifters there is also a PSD newman cam which has never been fitted it also has a GT inlet manifold ported to match the head and PSD ported and de wedged throttle body. The charger is ported to a similar spec as a PSD full blend with larger inlet ports transfer ports and outlet it has has had all the oil seals and scroll seals and bearings replaced with PSD items this work was carried out at the same times as the engine rebuild. There is a set of PSD toothed belts which are brand new and never fitted. The radiator and intercooler are from a company called radtec and were made to suit the engine and fit the confines of a mk1 polo engine bay . The rad is fitted with a pacet fan . There is also a mocal oil cooler and filter takeoff plate. I also have the original G40 intercooler and rad. The gearbox is standard G40 item and works fine although with the mileage would probably benefit from a rebuild. It had a new clutch when the rebuild was done. All the wiring loom and ecu is complete and is in good condition it was re taped when I did the rebuild.

I think I have included everything there are a lot of parts with the car.You will need a trailer

and a car with a big boot. I am located in Lichfield in the midlands if you want to view the car/parts.I will upload some pictures in the week

£1500 or I may split if there is enough interest
