Looking for an 8V MK2 90spec or MK3

[VW BUSH]

You can pick up Mk3 16v for less than the reach around you'd get on a decent Mk2.

I love Mk2's but for a good one you will pay, simply because keeping a Mk2 good costs a reasonable sum of money.
If you are flush then get on it

I don't know... I just love the fun factor of the MK2. I own one at the moment (well, the guys picking her up next week!  ) and would love a 3 door MK2 valver, or even an 8V!

I would really like a MK3 aswell and have seen one on here that intrests me..

What do you guys know/think of the above car?

One thing is that it's got a tracker.. how would I get that changed to my name, or is it reg'd to the car not the person?

Argh, I really want to make sure I get the right car!!

Looks good, pretty sure you can't get 6 months MOT though, does he mean tax?

I reckon so bud.

£1700 seems steep though. Just a quick question chaps.. What sort of things can you do to improve a MK3 8V's speed?

I'm not talking spending loads, nor do I want comments like "Get a MK2 to pull it.." lol.

The one I'm looking at has a s/s exhaust already.

Under £500 will win you an MOT fail SEAT with a 2.0 16V ABF motor in it and 280mm front brakes.

That'll make it faster.

Is there anything wrong with leaving the engine in the seat in the first place?
Are they not lighter, faster and (in my opinion) nicer looking than the golf

Cant really do alot to em mate, just a good service, throttle body clean, drilled airbox and panel filter and a decent exhaust. Or just race something really slow and it will seem faster!
