Hey Hey
« on: 03 February 2005, 14:07 »
Newbie here to these forums, and also to the world of VW's, as the name would suggest I'm former lover of the blue oval, however due to a nice ban on my license now insurance isn't easy on an rs, so I stumbled across a cheap little run around, for ?150 I picked up a 1.3 Golf MK2 with tax and test, after looking at it, it's not in bad nick at all, the chassis and underneath are solid, with only minor bits of rust, engine only needed firing mechanism (rotor arm through to plugs) and she's a perfect runner, so now it's become a project... I'll need your help for this so I'll put a post up elsewhere, any hoo's hello all glad to be on board ;)

lol, cheers for the welcome, I wouldn't get another RST, the two I've had cost massive amounts to repair after sticking a bit of extra power through them, number 1 (FRST) cost me a brand new turbo, and fabrication of pipes, various other things aswell, came in at a nice ?600.  Number two (Orion with MK1 ERST), cost me ?750 for a full engine rebuild, after turning the boost up by about 4 PSi decided to take out my crank and pistons.  Never again.

So now I'm here, I dare to put my faith in aything yet, but this is the first VW I've ever had (or driven for that matter) and even after 115k, and it's previous owner gave it no love, it starts everytime, and does what it's supposed to, so far I've no quibble with the Germans...

thanks again people, won't say anything about the rst then......

by the way is there a PM system on this site, if not when someone speaks to Slick ask him to add me on MSN, I went through the same thing he's going through at the moment with my ex, I'm on rstrich@gameslayers.com, and if there is a pm system, where is it  :huh:
