im selling mine there all sh!t granted! break down, costs more to keep it going than its actually worth so ive decided im the car ive wanted for a long time which is an  evo 8 instead  :smiley: however after christmas im going to buy a mk2 to keep a project going  :wink:

youve changed your tune. What happened to supercharging it??

He's getting a 1.8t if you didnt notice lol Not slow and very tuneable.

Still got to overcome the mass of a mk3 however :grin

but less of a lump then the mk4 tho.

Mk4 is about the same weight as a mk3 from memory.

According to Parkers, the mk3 8v weighs 1035kg, and the mk4 1.8T weights 1203kg. (Both 3dr). The vr6 was a lot heavier with 1155kg quoted for a 3dr.
How accurate the figures are I don't know.

I don't think there's anything wrong with MK3s, I'm on my third now. MK4s unless Anni or R32 look pants, my opinion of course.

My ultimate car would be my Anni I have now, with a TT/S3 engine, but alas that will never happen for me sadly.

My advice, drop a 1.8T into your Mk3 :wink:
