Can this thing go any faster?

Yeah its bloody scary in a mk2

No wonder it was knackered when I bought it VR6.

I sorted the timing in my car. It's so much better now - actually feels quite fast! Got it to 105 without too much trouble and it had some left, but I chickened out (I was on the M25 at night)

Can't wait for the chance to test it properly. Hope I don't get pulled over....

Was the timing out by quite a bit?

[ch33ky_monk3y]

he didn't say - just told me he adjusted the timing and it should feel better.

accelaration is much better in all gears and the car revs more freely. I don't feel the need to change up at 4000.

I now don't regret having bought a golf gti

thanks

Nice one   Go and get it chipped plus induction kit and exhaust  

[ch33ky_monk3y]

actually, I've been weighing up the pros and cons of mods.

Don't know too much about it so what do I start with? I'm not going to do it all in one go, so is it possible to start with something relatively inexpensive?

It's really the effect on the insurance premium that puts me off doing anything.

As far as mods go, insurance is the main problem as far as I can see.  You may get away with a chip without telling the insurance companies but if youre going for exhausts etc, if you have an accident youre insurance will be void.  So if you mod it youd better get new insurance.  

New insurance more cost

Got to be worth the extra money?     Surely the mods i suggested would make the 8v much quicker, quicker being cool  

[ch33ky_monk3y]

I guess when the time comes and I feel I need something faster, I'll get a VR6.
