you need to get a later v5 (170bhp) which has the sports pack option because standard the suspension is crap :P
dont get 150bhp one either. its slow

that might be a bit more than 7000 ???

get a vr6  ;D ;D

ive got a 1.8T, however if you really want a top dog perfect mega rapid minter go for the vr6, but if you want it to go for a bit of fancy climate,onboard comp, etc you would be able to get a decent 1.8T with the money, but it really does depend on how you use your car!!
I mean i like a mod or to, but i use my car for commuting an round the m25 to watford to see the gilf! But if i really wanted to have the speedster vr6 an look into every mod possible an show off at shows etc that's what i would of got! 8)

both stonkin motors, both quick im not mk4 biased just because i have a mk4!!!!, id test drive both to see and feel what you get for your money, go out there and have a look, if you have the money you have the choice!!

buy a decent mk1 for ?2000 and spend the other ?4000 on a 20vT conversion

what about brakes and suspension to stop and handle the thing!!! coil overs and a big brake conversion would be needed also for a pukka car!!

Many people underestimate the power of the v6, don't take any notice of the claimed 174bhp. Most will produce 190bhp+ AS STANDARD.
The 1.8T is a good engine but i would always go for the v6. It is a much more powerful unit.
If you want to spend big bucks, then turbo the v6, the 1.8T will never get near it  ;)

I love 6 cylinder cars, and have owned a few, I have a V6 SAAb at the moment, and would love to drop a V6 in the cab, but for the effect it would have on the handling. I would get a V6 over a 1.8T

V6 in a mk2 isn't supposed to be a problem, not sure about mk1  :-\
Maybe try the 24v, all aluminium engine from the mk4  ;)
