Re: 0 to R200 in 17 sec
speaking of which....does anyone know where i can get gearbox codes, ratio's etc for the golf gearboxes. i just fitted a standard box in my old mans Caddy, but the box is shagged. If i remember, the caddy runs the same box as the mach 1 GTI (ratio's etc) Anyone with directions?

Re: 0 to R200 in 17 sec
I got to agree with you guys the MK1 GTi 3 door was by far the best Golf, it's a big pitty that VW didn't bring it back to SA with the Mk 2,3,4 or 5, heres hoping they will with the Mk6....

Re: 0 to R200 in 17 sec
We only got the 5 door version of the GTI. GT Golfs were all 3 door.

Re: 0 to R200 in 17 sec
My everyday vehicle is a '85 Caddy Sport,complete with GTi steering wheel, BBS front spoiler, 3 guages in centre console(oil pressure, oil temp & volt), and GT fold forward seats, and yes it does have the same close ratio box as a Mk1 GTi. You can call it a "GTS Bakkie".Rabid_ant wrote:speaking of which....does anyone know where i can get gearbox codes, ratio's etc for the golf gearboxes. i just fitted a standard box in my old mans Caddy, but the box is shagged.

Early "ordinary" Caddies had a four speed box, of which we also have one. My dad bought one of the first to come out('81), and it is still going stong It was actually just called "Pick-up" back then, not Caddy.
Interesting thing: On the VIN plate, country of origin says "USA". A lot of glass & parts say "Made in USA".It has plugged holes underneath the windscreen where the wipers for left hand drive vehicles were fitted! Caddies were first made in the USA, at their Westmoreland factory.

Does yours have the 1,8 carb engine? I suppose that you could call it the GTI PickupDam wrote:My everyday vehicle is a '85 Caddy Sport,complete with GTi steering wheel, BBS front spoiler, 3 guages in centre console(oil pressure, oil temp & volt), and GT fold forward seats, and yes it does have the same close ratio box as a Mk1 GTi.

I believe that all the tooling from the Westmoreland plant for the Bakkie was sent here after they stopped producing the Bakkies, and here in SA production of the Bakkie only stopped last year..

GTS was also one of my earlier cars. But it had k@k seats though. Much too square for my liking.

Re: 0 to R200 in 17 sec
Before the 3 door GT, there was of course the 3 door L... The 3 door Golfs were very sought after by the rally crowd because the body was much stiffer (more stiff?) So much so in fact that I sold my 4 year old totally shagged out L for more than I paid for it new.
Somebody told me once, a loooong time ago, that there were 2 LS types, one was of course the 1100 4 door, the other, so I heard, was a 1300 2 door. I never did find out if this was true. (The 1300 4 door was the GL).

Re: 0 to R200 in 17 sec
My first (running ) car was an 1100 '78 4-door LS - it had some damage on its second gear, and sounded just like a Pulsar before shifting to 3rd. The radiator was small - about the size of a notebook computer, and it overheated quite easily. It had a single gauge on the facia (speedo with fuel level) with an all-plastic non-padded dash. The tail lighs were the small type - all red with orange, no reverse lights. It must have been one of the earliest bodyshells, the interior light was still on the 'passenger' side like the LHD European versions. I got a set of Mk2 GTi wheels for it, and it looked like a Bulldog on heat with 'em fitted
