Re: carbing?

More work, more fun. Carb's are thee shit!! how much $$ are you planning on spending? There are a few options. You could use a 32/36 DFAV, those work quite well for driveability and maintenance and they give you more low end snaps. I have had those (and have one currently on my 'vert) and they are not too expensive. I currently am using 40mm DCOE sidedrafts on my 16V and they cost alot more but, damn are they worth it; fun shit man!! :-)

Subject: carbing?

ok, truth be told, I do not like fuel injection.  I like carbs.  I know some early mk1's came with carbs, is it possible (or even a good idea) to carb my 78?  it has a 1.8l engine, but it shouldn't be too hard to do it if I can get my hands on the propper intake.  Has anyone taken this on? or does anyone have any pointers (other than 'yer an idiot, fi is the only way to go')?
 
thanx in advance!
 
All i think i need is a good intake and a weber carb or something..........
