Hi there
this is my first post to say hello :wink:
I'm a 32 year old bloke that loves his hot hatches :evil: when I was 20, pushing 21, my mum offered me her 1.0L 1988 E reg nissan micra as a 21st birthday "present". well. I couldn't get out quick enough to buy my first car - a mk2 1988 golf GTi campaign model - to stop that happening :grin: I loved that car and kept it for years.
Finally traded her in for a mk4 golf GTi turbo. must admit, once I'd done it, i wished I'd kept the mk2 and put the money into tarting her up.
I then moved into fords. got rid of the 1.8T for a focus ST170
I then got rid of that for a focus RS, which is the one car in my life I had to own. :drool: she's nicely modded. at the last RR she was 305bhp/345 lb.ft but that was years ago. she's had more work done recently and I'm hoping that she'll finally make between 350 and 400bhp when shes remapped :evil: she's tucked up in my garage.
my daily drivers are a mk4 golf sdi and a mk2 focus sport. both eternaly dull but they do the job right :smiley:
anyway.....
the point of joining here :smug:
I always hankered after another mk2 GTi and I bought one last night (16v big bumper model 1989 F reg) on impulse for the bargain price of £250. she's a real s.hit box - as you'd expect for the price - but the basic chassis is sound. needs tons doing but I love her for her character already. :kiss:
plan is to strip her out and drop in a 1.8T.
thought I'd say hello for now and then keep popping back for advice/help and to help others from my experiences as time goes by :cool:
