Hi, thought I'd pop in and say hello.

Used to be on here years ago as admin , and organize the odd meet n stuff but couldnt get my old Kniterider username to work. Just got back into a mk2 Gti after a long absence. Wasnt quite sure if forums were still a thing but its still here!














few bits to finish it off so may ask the odd question or be searching for a part or two!

Cheers

Gaz

Welcome back!

A calypso green 3 door big bumper with engine transplant sounds like GTI heaven!  :cool:
What a car.

Is there no way of getting a decent shielded cold air feed into the open cone filter?

Hi JV, yes it's deffo been a while 🤦 life's been busy , have a little bit of time for a 4 wheeled toy now after doing many other ve's Audi and building my own camper , got a new Amarok as me work truck which is nice and decided to sack the bikes off for a while and get this.... But lairy tbh 270bhp and if you can get the traction down it torque steers like a bad person... 😂 , few bits to sort / finish it off.... You kept hold of the Rallye or got new / other toys?

Sorry Gaz, missed this!

Sounds like you've been keeping busy. That mk2 really does look good  :cool:

Rallye went a while ago now, put it back to standard and sold all the cheeky bits off separately.... which funded quite a lot of a GR Yaris... which are badged as a Rallye in some markets, so it was clearly a sign  :grin:

Also have a Cupra Formentor but currently no Golf. Disgraceful I know  :evil:
