211bhp?? i sh!t 211 bhp :laugh:

Not that keen to be honest.
-
not got the power for the look, should of done what Porsche did and totally strip it out, would make sense with the look and power then, if had more and was stripped out, id have one!
-
It really does need to shed a boatload of weight to compete with the Megane R26R, then it would be interesting - it's just a jazzed up Golf at the moment
-
looks a lot nicer than the normal mk6 imo, i think its the black arches and sideskirts that do it

yeah i dont know why they didnt think of that in the first place!
-
Nasty. The black arch extensions and side skirts make it look like a soft roader.
:sick:
-
i'm curious on the glowing rear diffuser....
-
I love the wide black arches, sort of a G60 throwback. Agreeing with other's comments on the power, it needs to be pushing 260 or so to pull of that look. That said, it's only a few mods away depending on the engine.
-
Bar the glowing diffuser, I like it :cool:

yeah they look good, shame its just a ~Mk6

yeah but with that look and i'm sure a healthy price tag, i wouldnt expect to have to mod it! to compete with something like the megane it should be mental out of the box othewise its just a mk6 with a body kit... boasting that theyve released a couple of horses because of the exhaust makes me laugh too.
-
order made as that diffuser is :drool:.....just need to sell my kidneys/wife/children!
-
I like but reading the power out put :huh: 300bhp and 4 wheel drive then we would be talking, also loose some weight fatty!! :grin:
-
nothing to do with what u guys are talking bout but can u guys push me in the correct direction where i can get a mark 3 gti box from???
-
Wanted, MK3 section, Classifieds, Ebay, what do you think this is GOOGLE!!!!!

But that power will probably never happen on a GTI for the same reason it has not since the early 90s from the mk3 onwards. VW have to restrict the GTI because of those stupid overweight, numb, bloated VR6/R32/R models.

As usual Snoops, you have hit the nail on the head! :smiley:

very well said... which is why you have the best of both, 1 and 6.

I still miss my mk1 16V though.

dont think ive seen that as i had a few years off here... :sad: you got a picture?
-
It was a converstion not an original. Probably have photos somewere as it was along time ago about 15 years back. Will have to go digging through my photos. Not the best car condition wise overall but fun to drive. It was fitted with a mk2 16V but used the LHD scirocco manifold from BRM. Sach suspension (so not to shake it tobits) with eibach antiroll bars and i badged it Golf GLS for goes like stink :grin:
It made me always want an original 16V like the one below. I told the owner of the one below if he ever sold it to contact me but im still waiting sadly :sad:

sounds like a blast.... I take it thats not your motor pictured, that looks like an Oettinger conversion.
-
No thats not mine, but i can dream that it maybe one day if he does contact me at some point :drool:
-
I'm surprised that DH was late on the pics on this one, as these pics have been round the mk6 for a couple of week. Still not a fan TBH.
-
There's a Golf6 forum?
-
yeah was also in AE a couple of week or so back too, old news really
-
I like it, much more aggressive, but shame about the power. It's just a concept though isn't it? So surely they can change it before it was taken to production.
-
yeah deffo shame it has no more power, just seems pointless really and looks like they are trying to make it like the focus RS type look.. im not sure about it, thinking if it had some more power it would be worthy :undecided: maybe its just me :smiley:
-

He means MK6 section of this forum.

You need to venture further DH. There are all sorts of weirdness to be found on the forum...even a place for mk3 owners who should know better :grin:
-
I have enough weirdness in my life already, without going to look for it in odd little tucked away corners.

Do tell?
it's not a closet love of mk3s running chrome wheels slammed 90mm with a full boot full of ice is it? :laugh:

:sick: looks like the wings west crew have got to it with their Halfords vouchers.
All show and no go = fail :lipsrsealed:
