so this is my new baby.....
Initially i swapped a charged mk2 plus some cash for the 200bhp red rocket.....
but ended up buying the charged mk2 back as i missed the rawness of it, plus i'd ploughed a lot o dollar into it....
so heres the cars

what do ya think??
-
I do love the Mk 2's, my favourite GTi shape. Always wanted one, never got around to it. Digging the colour on the 5, what colour is that?
-
its the bright red... not sure of the code, the guy who took the pics has used some filters or has messed about with em on photoshop.....
I like it that shade tho..... the red is reallt bright in the sunlight
the mk2 is a great looking car, and i rekon its faster than the mkV!!
-
Really liking both the GTI's :smiley:
-
Love the Mk2 :happy2:
I used to have a G60 years ago and loved it, LHD was a bit of a pain at times, `twas one of the few cars I wish I`d never sold :smiley:
-
Both great looking cars.

My G60 is a conversion so I get the advantage of sitting on the right side of the road but still get the power :happy2:

Both great looking cars.
Cheers mr Hunt...... Hope that's your real name btw??? :wink:

Really liking both the GTI's :smiley:
Cheers Snoopy
I think it's good mixing classic and modern motors on the drive, although the Mrs has a different view :stupid:
-
Excellent cars

Cheers bud. Liking yours too.....
How was it with the upgraded speakers? I'm getting the rns530 fitted for Xmas and fancy a speaker upgrade too.
Will an upgrade help with bass or am I ultimately gonna need a sub for decent bass?
I prefer quality sound to banging bass
Any idea's???? :drinking:
-
It will give it better bass with the mods you have planned,but you can fit a small sub in the boot and still use your boot

Mate, you've got my two favourite cars I've ever owned! I did over 100,000 miles in my Mk2 16V

And my current Dub is a Mk5 3 dr in Shadow Blue.
Like everyone else who's had a long relationship with a mk2, I wish I'd kept mine. You've done the right thing to buy yours back. You'd have regretted it if you hadn't, like the rest of us!
:happy2:

By the way, I love the oak green colour, and those alloys. (were those off a G60 Corrado?)
Only change I'd make is to get a GTi badge on the grill!

yeah i know i'd have regretted it......
the wheels are from the G60 Corrado and the Golf Rallye..
i figured as i had the G60 engine in the car i'd go for the wheels but leave the rest stock.
I was tempted to go for small bumpers too.... i like the look of small bumpered cars.
I bought a white small bumpered 8v gti for £300, no mot or tax..... was mint, and thought i'd use it for the conversion. but i got it MOT'd and it flew through!!!
so sold it and made a bit o profit to spend on the charger lol.....
loving how different the two cars are......
-
Stop talking about MK2 GTI's! otherwise im going to end up buying another one.

Hello and welcome

Sorry Ben, but It's hard not to reminisce when I did over 100k in one! Absolutely loved that car, it was the nuts.
I will have one again, I'm sure. What did you have? 8V or 16V?
-
Now then trenchy!
-
i love the shape of the mk2 owned a 1.6 mk2 but would have loved the GTI
-
Welcome :happy2: very nice cars :grin:
-
Now then trenchy!
Now then?!
-
Cheers for the warm welcome guys
Just got the car back from a remap, it's kicking out nearly 250bhp now. Such a phenomenal driving experience now. It's come alive
Also had the RNS-510 fitted......... Sooooo good :happy2:
