cheers for the advice = thinks thats decided it 1.8 gti it is then - thanks Ivor for those web sites - looks like i can change all the wood for aluminum which will look quality.
when you say get 200bhp out of it, is that just by chipping it ?
Anyway cheers - if anyone knows of someone wanting to get rid of a 2001 1.8 Gti in Black would be very interested.
