Also is pic of my massive T4 turbo I'm fitting to a 200tdi exhaust manifold.
It has a .60 compressor housing and a 1.52 turbine housing.
In one of the pics is a 2nd hand cylinder head I aquired to port and gas flow, coupled with a large intercooler I should get good gains.
Any thoughts good or bad, any advice would be appreciated.

However the 1300CC was a lot lower geared the result top speed down to 80mph 0-60 just a shade over 3.5 seconds, as I lived in London at the time use to go Porsche Banker hunting in the City, did they feel like small penises when they lost at the traffic lights to a Escort
This is another reason I thought about changing forum...The brains of some people leave a lot to be desired!

Got the Golf Gti seats fitted using a hybrid of Golf and Disco seat runners.
This gives me seat moving front/back/tilt and also the lift mechanism on the golf base.
Mondeo radiator fitted today with electric fan.
Any thoughts?

Are the golf rear seats fixed or do they still tilt forward for extra boot space?
The golf rear seats still tilt forward.
I made up a frame so that the bottom part lifts and the seats backs tilt forward flat.
I did have a lot of work to do as I had to modify the wheels tubs to accommodate the wider seats.

good work
been offered a set of half leather seats from a mk5 escort which i was thinking about fitting but didnt know how much work was involved, originally just wanted a set of fronts but the new seats are black and the old seats are beige so would look a bit ****e if i just put the fronts in

I think the escort seats would be easier to fit due to the standard type of rails they have.
The golf seats have a unique 3 point mount which had to be cut and welded to the disco frames.
The hardest part was the rears as the golf seats are a little wider.
Best bet is to measure the escort rear base and if its roughly the same it should be pretty straight forward to make something up to fit.

Great work. How many people would have scrapped a Disco in that state. We didn't - we run three tdis that were the same way - keep the old girls going.

Interested to know if the 200tdi manifold fits and clears the 300tdi cylinder head.
