You may as well get a 16v to start off with, rather than an 8v.

Not really no. a 16v in my budget will be hanging and probably thrashed to death. Would rather pick up an 8v and then drop an ABF in there at a later date.

whats your budget  :lipsrsealed:

I've just looked at mk2 prices   :shocked:

I want to do track days not land sailing!

But in all honesty it has crossed my mind that a MKIII 16v could be snuck in on budget.
