Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Engine Lid Cable Seized

Thanks for the reply mate.

My uncle (a mechanic) was able to access it by popping something in and around the interior of the boot a while back, but I'm unable to find it.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Engine Lid Cable Seized

Hi gents I'm attempting to gain access to my engine bay by the usual means (pully behind the drivers seat), however the cable appears to have seized and won't open the lid.

Re: rev3 GTS v Carrera 4S

Theres something mystical about the 911 tubby i think

Like you say, it probably would have had me on bends. It was a pretty wet morning and I could feel my grip slipping at times on a carriageway so I wasn't going 100% for it to preserve my own mortality as you put it!

Re: REV3 TUBBY AND AN R32???

Don't get me wrong, the GTI is a fantastic car but there is far better 'bang per buck' to be had elsewhere. The turbo boosting in the GTI feels fantastic, it always feels like a twin turbo as it gets a 'second wind' so to speak around 4500-5000rpm and just takes it all the way to the redline. The r3...

I've a MK5 gti golf at the moment (dont worry, going back to the promised land of rev3 tubby shortly) and it leaves a workmates R32 for dead.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev4 turbo buying advice

He is being very very co-operative, which i appreciate quite a bit.

I'd definitely bin the exhaust, powerflow or something. Stick a blitz on the end of it :evil:
