Title: I Think I have found my next car!
Post by: RTechUK on 14 August 2008, 19:19
I have been looking for a Mk4 Gti 1.8t to use as a good project car to tune to around 270bhp.  This is what I have just found and will be test driving Saturday.   Its a AUM Ko3s which is a good starting block for more power.

I think I could twist his arm down to £1800  :grin:

What you think?

LOL,

By the time I have finished with it, if it blows up it will go with a BOOM!  :laugh:

Saying that I have remapped 1.8T AUMs with 200+k on the clocks to well over 200bhp and (touch wood) as far as I know they are still ripping the tarmac up.

If she drives well and pulls ok I am defo having it, and my 310bhp Calibra will be straight on ebay.... :cry:

The idea behind the car is for me to take it up to around 250+bhp with basic tuning mods, ie ko4, Remap,  exhaust de or sports cat etc.  within a budget of £1000. just to prove a point that you dont need to spend silly money to get some nice power. I will compile a build album with photos and details an duse the car as a demo,
 BUT.... at the end of next year I will be going for 400+bhp with OMEX managmet and some silly sized turbo.   :grin:

I am looking forward to it I will let you know when we are mapping it you could have a nother trip dowm and drool with me. :cool:

Cheap car mate and good if the 1 lady owner bit is genuine. And if it did go bang nice engine build with forged internals will do the job nicely.  :cool:

Let us know how you get on.

Post by: RTechUK on 19 August 2008, 17:08
I had a good look around the car, One lady owner my arse! is looks like a ex company car with 161K on the clocks which has been sold on to a boy racers and thrashed, I can see a Blow off type dv and cone filter has been fitted to the car in the past. Loads of tar stuck to the inner wing linners, signs of on the spot burn outs or some wicked wheel spind.
The engine dosent look original, the seller says its just had a new oil pump, but I cannot see any evidence, It makes strange sounds from the bottom and top end when cold???  My instinct tells me there is summat not right.  salesman too pushy, telling me its got FSH and paperwork to prove over £2k of recent work, but he could not find them out.

I am still looking for a gti.

The next one to look at is this >>  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-GTI-TURBO-SILVER-225bhp_W0QQitemZ170249389266QQihZ007QQcategoryZ9873QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

its already remapped saves me some money..lol    I remember doing the car and it was very neat, tidy and pulled really well.

I will keep you up dated.

You re-mapped that exact one yourself???  What a co-incidence!  Looks a very nice car, 225bhp though?  Can you vouch for that?  you should know!

That intake looks a bit sh*t on it.

LOL it has found another 15bhp, the remap on that car is good for 210bhp, to say 225bhp from a 210bhp remap & CAI is a bit ott.    But if I have it it will be soon 250+bhp  .lol
