Hello all at the GCRE forum.
Almost all the pug people on here would recognise this car, but for everyone else I'll provide the details of my latest project.
The project started last december when my last engine became very sick with only about 1000 miles under it's belt. Not wanting to go into the details or history I though i'd provide the details of the current build. the car should be on the rollers in about 3 weeks from now.
Base engine is the 1.9 GTI XU9JA, with the following modifications being completed:

MODEL POST!
Full of great tech detail and some good photos too. As it happens I like those cars, I know how well the handle and how very fast they are even standard!
When we were doing NHRA in the early-mid 90's it took us many months of track and dyno test to get past the very well-developed Alan Sherwood/Mass Peugeot SOHC 1.9 engines with our 8v TC Fiat. That took me by suprise at the time!
