I wanted a 5 door for a change mate, never had one! Also helps passengers get in and out of the back with my harness on much easier, as they won't have to climb over or duck under it! Chains have not been done but tbh they're not something that worry me too much. Yeah ok they will need doing at some point, but I have a feeling the VR6 will stay with me for a long time, so an engine strip will be scheduled in at some point!

Yeah only thing is the 5 door thing but it looks tidy enough. Plus 3 door would have cost more as more sort after :cool:

I was very lucky to get mine as a 5dr as now i have 2 kids and when this was in the garage i had to use my sisters punto. Wow it was realy hard to get my new born boy in. With the 5dr its SOOO easy so i know what you mean by easy for others to get in. Even my mk4 is a 5dr lol

5 door is perfect if you have kids etc but not otherwise.  3 door just looks more sportier etc. However a good condition 3 door highline would be pricey

Thing I like about the highline is that it does not have any sh!tty plastic trim. Since I removed all mine looks miles better :cool:

Yeah that's something I'm looking forward to, no trim!

TBH not seen many 3d highlines about, but as said, I wanted 5d for a change!

What are these like to get to 200hp? I presume it's achievable with engine map, induction sorted, throttle body porting and exhaust?

You going to get a hotgolf lightened flywheel? Will look nice with the team dynamics.  I saw a single one on ebay a while back

Fit a VSR :cool: This will drastically increase low end torque but not bhp. I imagine with cams remap/chip etc you will see the magic 200

Flywheel will be done if and when the clutch needs doing, although hopefully not for a long time  :grin:

What's VSR?
