As you may have seen i have posted quite regularly in the past few weeks about my MK4 Golf - asking for advice to fix certain things, however - wanting to modify in the future meant spending about £1000... until my insurance renewal came through, it was then a case either keep the car and not modify, or look around for cheaper insurance quotes, which i did. However these were more expensive than my renewal quote - so i made the bold decision to sell my beloved silver 2001 MK4 Gti 20vt. I think i got a good price of £2250 considering the body work wasnt in the best condition, and the fact it had 99k on the clock. I was very sad to see the car go, and definately enjoyed the ownership. It's now time to save up for a new car - or maybe at the right price another MK4 :smiley:
I would like to thank you all for your help and answers to questions i have had - it has been of great use! you will still see me posting on the forum occasionally and maybe one day i will get myself another 20VT. I will miss the car very much. Also, if anyone is interested - i still have the Audi RS6 alloys from my Golf, so now these are up for grabs. They are about 6-10 months old, have very minor curbing on the edge of the rim - all tyres have good tread, probably about 4-5mm at a guess - maybe slightly less on the two off the front. pm me if you are interested in buying them - thought i would give you guys first refusal on the wheels before i advertise elsewhere.
Once again thanks for your time and help, will post in the general section to inform you when i have a new car what i have decided to go for, and if anyone has any ideas of something quick i could get for about 2250, your ideas would be appreciated as i have no idea what i want!!
Cheers guys, Simon

Fair dues mate, I didn't like them. I preferred my 205's. Nowadays though nothing FWD compares to an integra DC2. They are epic. The golf is a great all rounder though and a much better overall car.
-
yeah 100% agreed! i love the golf 2 much more refined and comfortable, tuning potential etc etc, 205's are good i had one for about a month, my mates got a tracked prep'd 1 its an animal ! yeah no what you mean about rwd much more fun i had a e36 328i and a few other 3ers loved em !

BMW FTW!!! But shhhhh :laugh: Have you done your ARB's? I want my golf to handle well but don't know how. Can you put independent rear suspension on them from a 4mo or similar?
-

defo ftw think my next thing will be bmw again in the shape of an m3 evo e36 :drool:
-
That was gonna be my choice too but probably the 3.0 as their so cheap and I wouldn't feel bad stripping it out. I should have one in April to have as well as the golf.
