Title: Newbie Looking to enter Golf GTI championship
Post by: PJL83 on 07 April 2008, 18:07

Hi All,

Been looking at getting a track car for a while now.

In the end decided on a golf GTI mrk2.

Then I found out about the racing series and  :grin:

Here I am. Been a jap car fan for a while so limitted knowledge in the golf department so no doubt i'll be bugging you all with some silly questions later on.  :embarassed:

Not got a car yet but I'm constantly checking autotrader and all the forums. I'm in the south so if anybody knows of anything then give me a shout!

Thanks
Paul

Welcome :cool:

Spoke to the guys on the MKII championship stand at Autosport International and you'll have a riot doing the car up with the control parts they sell to you at knockdown prices. :smiley:

The 16v would be far better for track day use. It gives you the power you need at higher speeds and higher revs.

 Luckily i landed on mine for £250 quid , i was actually looking for an 8v - the 16s are more competative for outright wins i think

 Best of luck on the hunt , and hope i see you out on track soon , be good to have someone to bounce some ideas off when it comes to set up time
