What else was unique to the sport? Suspension? Brakes? 7A I5? What made it a sport?

Where are you at? Leather? reupholstered front and rear?

Dave, how is the interior in this car? leather? Black? Paint condition? A/C work?

Yea Martin did one with a v6 90 and ever since I have thought that would be a great car and recipient for a TDI swap. AWD, four doors, modern enough to feel solid, good looking, and 30 to 40mpg pretty easily. I know they will fit.....just a matter of money and time.

Dave, do you think that a 2.5 TDI would fit in the bay? Like I have so often heard from the crowd......seems ashamed to swap the TDI into FWD. The only down side is that your buddy Blaine wouldn't like that I had found an AWD home for the TDI.

So Jim and Sean's cars were the fastest huh? That might be a fairly accurate statement and for sure Jim's Vomit Comet is faster than my Urq. I bought him coffee when we stopped for gas, lined up side by side at the turn signal leading into the 215 onramp. I figured that with him having to juggle ...

Spring Mountain?

How long has this project been going on? I haven't spent much time on MG for awhile, but somehow missed this build all together. I like what I see and glad you made the migration over to the project pad. Keep us updated....these kind of projects are exciting to read.

Nice write up Jeff. Thanks for your real world input. I for one enjoy reading about what has been done and for what reasons. I'm looking forward to more.

Dang Aaron, this project is really moving along. Don't have it, make it......I like it. It is right up to my speed, except at our house the girls and wife call it Irozing it.

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks like they are melted rather than broken to me. Getting hot enough to melt doesn't sound like a fault of the plug. Hank and I have been running Bosch tri-tip plugs in our 20vt cars for awhile now and other than fouling under high boost haven't had any ...

Ben, is your return angled down all the way to the oil pan? I burned a bunch of oil with my Urq before realizing that I had a bit of a natural trap with my return line that was backing up oil into the CRA and blowing it by the seals. Rerouting solved my issue.

People will just have to just remember it's a work in progress.

Yea......so aren't they all? I'd need a full page to list all the things wrong with my Urq and another page or two for the wish list of things I'd like to do. I think I would be happy if I could just get the list to start shrinking ...

looks good Toph!! I wouldn't worry much about the water until it gets worse. Keep an eye on the over flow and run it would be my suggestion. Besides, anytime you do an overbuild and everything is cleaned up, painted, or both, you know something is going to let loose to give it the initial break in ...

Nice!! I like it.

Nice doors Martin, but I'm not surprised. The parts you have collected thus far blows my mind. I'm not sure how you do it but I almost expect to see this sort of stuff now. To shock us now you'd almost have to find an aluminum block for your sport. Wait, you don't already have Michele Mouton in ...

That is awesome Aaron. The car just gets more and more impressive as time goes by. Top speed of 160mph is flat getting fast....and to think it is all from a little four banger. Congratulations!!

Just saw this post.....I've had the Comps on my Urq now for about 10k miles and havent had any problems to speak of. That said, they are noisier which is to be expected going with a solid setup. The one thing that I really like about them is the ease of pulling the one piece struts now that I have ...

Nice work Craig. I get tired just going through your project. I really am amazed at all the good work on some of these great project. Keep us posted.

Alright Nick. When you go you really get at it. Was that the compression on the 7a or the 3b? Pretty decent numbers but higher than I would expect from a 3b.

Very nice project. Great work! Thanks for bringing this project to the Pad. Looking at all the work you have done makes me think I ought to get out and do some work on my Urq. I quite often can talk myself into getting bogged down and discouraged with what needs to be done......then I see something ...

As long as the marks are lined up, it wouldn't matter on the base orientation other than the physical location of wires and such as long as the cap spark plug wires are lined up with the rotor at top dead center pointing at the #1 cylinder and they progress in the right firing order. You usually ...

I say do it!! This is one of my favorite projects. Have Marc move the whole thing.

This is how I ran the brake lines on my Urq using the T44 MC. I ran the the two lines out of the MC closest to the vacuum assist to the front brakes, while the outlet further out is run through the proportioning valve first before running back to the tee at the rear of the car. I don't know about ...

Yea that sounds like a bad master. The worse part is that they are a pain to get to under the dash in the pedal cluster and trying to change it out without getting fluid on the carpet. If I remember right, I think I rebuilt mine in the 5ktq with a $10 kit, but that was a few years back.
