Title: Mk2 1.6 driver help!!
Post by: DillonHoodHMFC on 01 April 2013, 23:00
I have recently bought a 1991 mk2 golf 1.6 driver and was wondering what upgrades could I make that are simple enough to fit myself and also I was wanting to buy a Gti exhaust for it but wasn't sure what would fit and year I will need to get if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

thanks
Dillon

Do upgrades that you can transplant on to a GTI as that will be your next wanted car.... :D :D :D


Exhausts are pretty straight forward but all you need to do is get a GTI back box for looks, you will need to trim the rear valance for the twin outlet.


Other than that just make sure you get the correct size pipework and you may need a reducer...


HTH


And welcome to the MK2 club.... Only time is counts to come second.. O0

That's why I want Gti parts I would have had a Gti but I'm 17 and I can't afford the insurance so an exhaust will be easy enough to get ahold of I'm not so bothered about the noise and the price etc I just want it for looks

My lad did the same with his 1st Driver... He made it into a GTI look alike...


There is a lot more to converting a driver than what there seems at 1st glance...


Red stripe grille, Big bumpers, fog lights, arches, sill covers, door mouldings, Tailgate glass, decal and spoiler.


Seats, door cards, carpets, C pillar covers, headlining.


MFA clocks & stalk (and wiring)...

I'm not necessarily wanting a Gti look a like I would just like to get a few upgrades engine wise and a Gti exhaust but I can only seem to find one that would fit my car
