Twin webers are going to drain your wallet for fuel money but as you say the sound is awesome. Maybe just use one twin weber and a cam for now. And someone mentioned to  e when i was thinking about fettling with my driver, to use a gti manifold and down pipe

[baz_the_man62]

i agree, twin webers sound phat, i also think sod the petrol, you'll realise where ur money is goin when your croozin thru town. after some consideration i opted against the sex change too. get the 1.3 on webers.... u no it makes sense!

[sellers]

nah deffinatley go for the 1.6, u will regret gettin a 1.3 later on when youve got money to spunk on the engine

21 1NCB on a 1.8 GTI with 2 convictions £1200 works out 99.50 a month which is hardly anything?

 Everyone seems to want to pay £300 a year for insurance

Anyway, i deffo go with the 1.6. In 4-6 weeks of having the 1.3 you will soon be sick of the lack of ompth, with the 1.6 you can do quite a few things and put a supprising smile on your face!

 Things like

Twin 40's
GTI Cam
GTI exhaust system

Should give you some tidy ponies

i used to have a 1300 ryder, good solid car but frick me it was slow, it hummed nicely with a gti exhaust system tho

ive just turned 20 with 1 years no claims and for the next 9 month period im paying 500 for a 1600 with a weber,alloys,lowerd, 90 spec kit(excluding big bumpers) and a scorpion backbox, not bad, easliy my favorate car yet,(the 7th this year )

ive got a gti cam in my box of left overs, is it actually worth putting it in?

[benjam_in]

hmm!! was 22 when i got my golf and was paying £1300 third party! doh! oh well i wanted it and boy it was worth it!!!!
