Few Pics For Veedubgti8v

[Overseer]

10.4 in mine too..  was just gonna say so meself... but ya beat me to it.

still everything i read about the 8v says its a sack of potatoes..


how can a car that accelerates slower than the 16v be 'more torquey' ?


why did they bother to put the traction control on it and the vr6 if it wasnt needed?

[Overseer]

btw.. is the difference between a 8v and a 16v really that bad?


the reason i didnt get a vr6 is because of the high insurance, i refuse to pay that much. i only looked at the 16v vs vr6.

Ok, imagine this.


Your 18, you've had your licence 9month, and u want a sportier car than a 1.4 Golf match mk3.

So you look around and see these few cars that, u can buy and afford and can also get insurance on ... just

1: VW Golf GTI 8v mk3 3dr Black (mine)
2: Citroen Saxo VTR 90Bhp (Before the face lift)
3: Vauxhall Nova SRI
4: Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 (dunno what trim but loadsa lads have em)
5: 1.2 Renault Clio (Before the face lift)
6: Peugeot 106 Quicksilver 1.4 8v 75Bhp
7: Rover 25 1.4 16v 103Bhp
8: Fiat Punto 1.4 (Again loadsa lads/lasses have em and mod them)
9: Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec
10: Citroen XT GT


Now what would you choose? ... cos I wanna know if you'd pick what I picked... or should I have bought summet else from that list that I could afford etc?

Dont go shouting ... buy a real GTI ... buy a 16v cos I COULDNT AFFORD IT ... and also dont even think about mentioning mk1/2 Golf's, cos I wanted a 90's car ... preferably newer than my N reg Golf Match.

.. so go on... did I choose well? ... or should that nice XT GT have been mine? or perhaps the Punto? ... hmmmm

I had a rover 216sli at 18 which was quick, although never knew the book times, followed by a mk1 mr2 t-bar, then a 1.4 clio brand new and now my mk2 16v golf and for every day drivin my golf wins for comfort my clio won for those am igonna stop moments my rover won for speed my mr2 won for downright fun to drive i cant decide if the mr2 or golf are better and id had my licence about 7 month when i got my mr2 just not enough space init  :'(

^ i was gonna get a mk2 mr2 t-bar.. ended up doin a full circle back to a golf



black_gti... whats the insurance like for the 8v?   mines 750 quid fully comp for the valver.

[Cupra Turbo]

?850 ... that was last march when I was 18.

[Danr]

?850 thats fu.ck all my mr2 was 1200

[Cupra Turbo]

Ok, lets just clarify summet

1: I wasnt willing to pay more than ?1000, thats money down the drain
2: When I quoted anything more powerful than my 8v the result was

WE CANNOT QUOTE YOU ON THIS CAR which basically is a big **** you sign ... so that was out of the question

3: I had just bought a car that cost more than I actually had and therefore the loan needed to be paid also.

4: I had only just started my job
5: .. does there really need to be a 5? ... ok heres no. 5 : Im a named driver.

[Overseer]

insurance is the reason i didnt get a vr6.. f**k paying 1200 quid.. i can afford it, but i refuse to pay that much.

my 1.4 polo open air was only 680 to insure.. 70 quid extra for a valver?

before the polo i wanted a karmann cab originally.. but they wanted silly money to insure that too..

[Cupra Turbo]

Yea, why spend that on insurance... i can think of better things
