So the car is on the road and have done a few miles in it.. I must say it is a lot of fun to drive and I recommend doing the conversion to anyone!..

At the moment the car is running a little rich but this doesn't bother me so much as its it my daily anymore.. I went out and got myself a new polo 6r for that! :).. Mods soon too! Any ways here are a few more photos and a little video :) comments welcome :)

hi guys the car runs pretty rich i have looked and looked to see if there is any adjustment on them, they are cbr600 carbs same as the ones most people are running. any help much appreciated. :)

what jets you using?

Big thumbs-up from me, the mk2 looks fantastic - love the wheels too. Had to watch the video at least four times, not seen a mk2 speedo move that quickly before. Top work.

Exitar they have been drilled out to 0.4 apparently? Does that make sense to you? Haha :)

Thanks man! I do love the little beast :)

for the price of them ,you may aswell just buy some that are the right size

i used 145's in mine and it was slightly rich, but nothing major. seen someone else running 140's

Looks awsome mate and sounds well, watched the vid and it sounds like she could do with a shorter box though :)

Please change your gearbox! Third kills it man! :)

Buy some keihin 145's, will cost about £15 delivered from allens performance and are genuine jets
