I am looking at buying a 1987 gti suzuki. Where do most people put their radiators? Do you think I could fit it in and get it running in a month? lol...

If you have enought money..sure it COULD be done in a month..but i tihnk your dreaming

Again..with enough money almost anything is possible, but i havn't seen the old speedo used with an ECU, you might be able to rig up a sensor or something.

If you don't want to go with the GTi instruments, you can also use something like Autometer guages..

I would go with that suggestion. Then it would LOOK a little more original...

how much of the inside of the engine bay will be modified?

If I am not going to deseam, then perhaps I should leave the engine bay alone too.

Go on Ron, you could do it in a month. You haven't got much on at the moment.
