How can i restore bhp to my mk1 golf gti as ve been asked on to a track day and want a bit more speed?

Question:


Answers:
Just do some regular maintenance and you should be OK.
Maybe get a mod chip.
bump up the timing, run premium gas. get a cheap msd box (like a 5200 aka MSD5 or 5A) and a good strong coil. Increase your plug gap and you should be close to the original 90hp.

Filters- Fuel, Oil, Air- get fresh ones installed

Brakes are far more important on track day that HP. MetalMasters are a minimum requirement OEM are unsuitable.(Pads)

Tires are #2 in importance, good Dot approved race rubber, such as Kumho Victo-Racers with wear rating of 40 are excellent for bringing down times.

Horse power is over-rated, I just keep my engine running well and worry more about my skill.
