Red mk3 golf gti 8v **schmidts now on**

I wish people would stop posting pics of my old car

Awwwww, Hug? 

I was dribbling over Brad & Ben's Mk3's last night, seriously considering getting another Mk3 when I've paid off the mk4

 Why the mk4 is a much better car, look at the work / money needed to get 200 + bhp out of a mk3

That's why if I get another Mk3 it won't have a Mk3 engine for long

The MK3 is a better looking car than the MK4 (bar Annis and R32s). Sure there are a couple of nice refinements but I'd rather put a MK4 1.8T in a MK3 and live without those nice refinements.

If I was doing a conversion it would be a mk2, mk3 is not much lighter then a mk4 so little to gain really.

Good day at the RR day at docs place.
Last time saw 114bhp.
Ive added de-cat pipe with straight through and now got a result of 118. bhp




I want to see more though

[SoundillusioN]

Your engines clearly healthy then with an output like that, want more from it then you'll probably need some serious head work, or an easier and possibly cheaper option is a transplant.

Im NOT spending another penny on it (famous last words)
I want to go oldskool next,something like maybe mk1-golf/jetta/scirroco/caddy/passat/polo

sorry but thats way wrong... iv had all 3 mate and now, as you know i have the S3 lump in my mk3

not much difference between a late mk2 and a early mk3 in weight..

trust me on this, the 1.8T in a mk3 (in standard 150/180bhp) will completely take the piss out of a mk4 golf or VRs with the same lump just like mine can easily out do a S3 or LCR without batting a eyelid.. its night and day mate

i like mk4's. but its a bold statement saying they are better than mk3's.. all depends which ones because id rather have my mk3 than any mk4.. (and iv had a few)


My opinion is the MK3 looks more oldskool and is more interesting when modified correctly than the mk4...it also has much more character..   

And as a final note, its also great fun having a MK3 that can beat most cars on the road.. people just don't expect it. especially from a 5 door 

[andynorfolk]

or get a mk1 or small bumper mk2 and do the engine transplant on that, far more character and lighter
