Mk3 time again...
« on: 09 February 2007, 21:02 »
well after swappin the rust bucket vr6 for the mk2 gti, even though it handled better it was so slow, and as ive been driving the mr2 turbo alot it just fell pants... so i let it go for what it stood me at cause i could be @rsed to do the little bits it needed doing.....

sold it this morning, then had the dilema... i was thinking of a seat ibiza cupra thing... the one i was gonna get had a ripped seat so i didnt bother.... needed a car today/tomorrow so gave a lad at work a bell who's been thinking of selling his mk3 16v gti for a while, he's not 'into' golfs, its just a car thats looked after with no expence spared.... so after some barter ive now got another mk3, a 96 black 3 door, low mileage , totally standard, 2 owners, full vag history etc.....

i just couldnt bare the thought of old lenny boy sailing on his own when he comes to the skegness show so i went and bought one so hes not lonely....

 :cool:

cost me a bag of sand....... not bad...

 :laugh:

So in your opinion is it much slower than your vr? i think my 16v is fast but would love a go in a vr6, especially one with a filter and zorst...

in a word 'yes' , my old vr6 was lowered as well as having the 2.8 engine with induction kit, this ones totally standard so it feels like your on stilts for a start, it is nippy but not till youve got it wound up.........

Even in the ibiza its the same, not much till you wind it up, then they do shift.
