Title: Got me my first VW! (GTi)
Post by: Matt-GTi on 24 April 2006, 09:01
Hello all!

Im matt, and I come from the vauxhall world! (:evil:) Hope ill be welcomed! lol

Ive loved golfs for years, a friend at work had a similar GTi to ive just bought and loved them ever since.

Compared to vauxhall they're sooooo much better, better build, stronger, nicer interior etc etc etc

So i picked a gti (all be it 8v) the 16v's were a bit out of my budget, but the 8v seems to pull nice enough. :) its done 98000, had new gearbox, throttle body, battery, new tyres etc. Got it for £1200 so seems a clean one for the price.

Not got many plans, lower it, exhaust, and a bit of paint work needed, other than that its staying standard!

Matt  :cool:

Cheers  :cool:

Rood nice to see yet another 8v owner :) I was a bit worried coming from a 2l 16v vauxhall but the golf seems to pull really well (not after 4000 revs though haha)
