Title: Reverted!!
Post by: Kedge on 23 July 2007, 19:30

Hi,

Just been introduced to this site by another one of your member (Geeman) as i've just bought a Mk2 8v GTi for a bit of track day fun.

I have previously delt a little with Mk1 Golfs as my 1st two car were Mk1 Drivers but I then moved on to BMW E30s which is still where my heart lies but i keep finding myslef being drawn back to Golfs so i eventually took the plunge when decided to buy something cheap for track use.

Going to be looking for plenty of advice from all your pro's out there although for now all i'll be doing is stripping it out as it's already got fairly decent brakes and suspension. The main thing that is doing my head in at the moment is how to get some bucket seats in there, whether i can get off the shelf subframes or will have to get some made.

Cheers
Dave

Here's a quick pic of the Golf as i bought it, will hopefully be looking a lot different in a few weeks when its ready for its first track outing at Bruntingthorpe in Oct.

Martin; Yes that was Muglys, i'm surprised itwasn't sold sooner. Needs a few bits sorting but for the money it looks great value and has certainly put a few smile on mine a my mates faces already! :smiley:

Cheers Tom, i've just got to make sure the Golf doesn't side track me too much from getting the BM completely how i want it.
