[emo kid]

ok ive just passed and am saving for a mint mk2 to have a bit of a play with but neway went to get tyres the outher day for my old dears car i saw a mk2 1.3 driver on twin 45s sounded awesum and i want one but was thinking id prefer a 1.6 driver on the same thing or on bodies .... what do u guys think ?? oh yea the rest of the car will weigh as much as a cig packet due 2 no interior and will be slammed on coilovers  along with 16s and g50 arches  (well thats the plan neway)..... what u think guys??

you've just passed yoour test? how old are you? i'm 19 and with 2 yrs ncb at crimbo and my renewal for the 1.6 driver iss about £300 for the car as standard! with 1yr no claims, i got insured at for £650  ... you deffo need to think insurance befofre you buy the car.. as a 1.6 may be as much as a gti once you've finished/start modding!?

Good luck either way! mk2 is a good choice of car!

sounds like a plan, you might want to look out for a guy on here called "sellers" who's trying to sort out win carbs for his so he might be of use. the lightweight thing can definately help you out to even out the power to weight ratio.


p.s. they're called g60 arches

get a driver 1.6 so many more modding options, iv got a piper cam weber carb, and full system exhaust with 4into1 manifold, and it aint slow by any means not quite a gti yet lol

wil be even quicker when i get a 1.8 gti engine in it, gonna put it on my carb.

if you cant get a gti for insurance reasons then why not work on the handling, coilovers, strut brace etc.

well im a guy 19 2yrs ncb with a 1.3 on weber carb with mods and insurance is £600, double hannahs! so if your goin for the 1.6 id go 4 a sex change too, will work out cheaper in long run.

but mine is insured as standard, with no mods declared, not even allowed the alloys i got!!! dammit.. that was with direct line and i chjanged my car 6 months into premium!

prob lookin at £400 when i renew - cos i have to change companies.. that reminds me.. got 8 days to sort it!!! argh!

[baz_the_man62]
