Mk3 16v VS Mk2 16v

[Len]

You can get mk2's with A/C albeit not particularly often. 

This is correct 

And who gives a f**k about ABS.....oh yeah, our resident Geriatric.

Nice banter from a MOD!

What I always say and would always take a Mk3 over any Mk2 including a Rallye!

1. ABS
2. Air-con

end of

would you have a mk3 over a tvr then?

Buy very good tyres and pay attention to the road and you wont need abs.
Air con? We only have 1 hot month out of the 12.

I would most certainly have a Mk3 over a TVR any day! My Mk3 has never broken down! TVR's are notorious from breaking down!

ABS has saved me from an accident many times when stupid idiots in front brake when they dont need to!

[Len]

I don't think I can sell my Mk3. It's in mint condition and I have become really attached to it. If I go for a Mk 2 in the future it will be a 3 door ABF

Good decision!

I feel the Mk3 love again Len lol

Your not wrong about tvr reliability 

but seriously if the bad driver infront brake sharp for no reason and abs had saved you, then you are too close to that car.

Give your self a great distance from the car infront

Sorry, but that would be your fault, not the 'stupid idiot' in front.

So then can we fit mk3 abs unit into a mk2?

Im not sure if the mk2 ever came with air con as an option but not buying a car because it doesnt have it? Seriously?

I wouldn't have thought the pump/electrics would be that different from a Mk2 and Mk3 so just find someone breaking a 4stud hub version, as the 5stud hubs are proabaly too big. Or the Rallye and G60 both came with ABS so you'd have to find someone breaking one to retro-fit it.

And the Mk2 did come with Factory fit air-con as my Mk2 has it, and it works a treat.

But....it kills fuel economy, hence why I only use it on weekends.
