No 16 valve drop in the GTI's future. This one is making an estimate 105-110 hp, and that's plenty for it to do what I want.
I had two complete GTIs until I sold the other engine & trans. I would really like convert the second one to rear drive (I could have gotten a perfect 924 for nearly free, too. ), but no space for a years-long project.
I have a teenager and his dad coming to look at the GTI this weekend. I never thought I'd look forward to a kid getting one of *my* cars.
Most have no appreciation for cars, let alone the niche cars that I tend toward, but this one seems different. One of his first 2 questions were what work he could (not had to- could) do on the car, and the other was what SCCA Solo class would it be in. Almost brought a tear to my eye.

Hey, I can operate a forum after all! Thanks for the tips. This is a Photoshop edit that I did a while back, before Terry Sayther's shop built a real one.
