newbie here first mk2 golf gti
« on: 20 April 2009, 10:59 »
Hi everyone, just a quick word to introduce myself,

My name is kieren i'm from essex, I am buying my first mk2 golf gti 8v tonight. This will be my first project car as always wanted one of these. Any way i'll be posting along the way and i'll get some pics later to start my project thread.

Whats the best way to 180bhp+

Any pointers any one? Anything i can look out for?

Good Times Ahead  :smiley:


Cheers All

welcome.  No pointers for second hand mk2 buying that are different to any other second hand purchase really.  Rot is always going to be the biggest killer, so get in/under etc everything.
