what if the person likes the look of the golf and not something like a subaru or evo, and 10k is not necessarily the end figure, some mods wont be done in favour of others etc.

You could buy and turbo an  MK4 R32 for close to the money he will spend!

still kind of missing the point - perhaps he actually LIKES his current car and wants to keep it.................

Use the money as a down payment on a mortgage then and keep the car he likes so much instead of on a depreciating asset?

he might be like myself and already own a house

still not quite there are we - so what he's pumping money into a depreciating asset - he's doing it, like the rest of us, because its fun and and it what we like to do.  Its not rational but we do it anyway

i don't care i've spent about 2K on mods, upgrades etc and that i've still got more to spend.  Do i care? No. Why? find me a more comfortable, practical and economical car which can punch above its weight when lightly modified and give one or two people a bit of a surprise

and if you're on about depriciation why do you want an R32 which sinks faster than the Titanic and will be worth less than 5p about an hour after you buy it

I've seen the pics mate, he's obviously being a workshy fop.. the only one clean at the end of the day.

What was this thread about again? Oh, yeah..if you want big power be commited, with the right buildup the GT turbo I mentioned earlier will pull 330 easy and spool a lot nicer than trying to strain a k03 or k04. You're in it for the long haul though, maybe an R32 is a more attractive choice if that's the kind of money you want to spend? They're pretty cheap atm too..
