i think im gunna look for gettin a mk3, couple reasons, firstly on the way home from work i drove thru town for about 2 miles and saw at least 10 mk4's but only one other mk3, and secondly i can get a decent mk3 and have some money left for goodies for the price of a half decent mk4.

good desicion???

get a mk4, no engine swap needed for boost, which is what you want really

I could imaging a chassis sorted mk3 would handle better than a sorted mk4?. Plus they look better, only reason I wouldnt get a mk3 is because the 2.0l 16v id imaging to be too slow, put a 1.8t in there running 200bhp would do the trick for me!

Sounds to me a mk3 1.8t would be ideal for ya!

Definitely a mk4, they're better than the mk3 in every single way.

yup!! just dont know about doing the engine change, got a m8 hu could do it for some beer tokens but from start to finish would have to be prittty quick bcoz its my daily.

lol your mk4 is a really good example but i im thinking that a mk3 gti would suit my budget a bit better (even tho i wanna do a engine change lol)
