View Full Version : the next step *updated with pics* pg 2
well i just picked up my golf gti today
drove it back from my mates house and i am seriously impressed
its very rapid responds really well and is so comfortable compared to the nova
my insurance has only gone up by ?200 to say ive double insurance groups
so am happy
altho didnt think i was going to get it as at first the stupid woman at cis thought i was trying to open a new policy and they refused to insure me
but i said hang on a minute i had a gte group 12 at the age of 19 why wont you insure me on a group 14 at 23 nearly 24
but all sorted now just gotta sell the nova
?900 anyone :wink:
will post pics tomorrow just tried and its too dark
nice one mate cant wait to see it
any luck with the nova
nice one lee, i hope this means you are still going to come to shows etc.
at this rate, half of the members on here will have to park there non nova cars at the back of all the stands lol.
any details on the new car matey. std?
can't wait to see the pics of the golf epo
glad your impressed with it
its standard apart from 15" bbs alloys
its going to stay pretty much standard just kept very clean
ive had a few people txt about the nova but nothing concrete
ill show it at the shows the stereos going in it and the tv ddv ect
might get a 57i kit
the exhaust is standard but has a real nice tone to it

12-02-05, 07:27 PM
Mk2 look the best mate, what is it 8v or 16? oh and what colour?
its an 8 valve and its white
ive never owned a 16v yet lol (dont know why)
i cant get over how nice a drive it is
lol from ford to vaux to vw :lol:
so which one is in the garage tonight mate :lol:
MK2 gti's are very nice cars, and white is a tidy colour as well.
If your nova was cheaper then i would be interested, i just ain't got your asking price at the minute tho.

yeah they are a completly different drive to a nova and feel so much bigger inside, i love mine :D
id take ?800 for the nova minimum
the nova's in the garage and probably will be till she's sold
i shall be sad to see her go but... never mind

Yeah, i would like to own your car, but won't have the funds for a month or two.
Depends if someone else buys it within that time.

I know that feeling... the drive back from Bristol with the GT-Four was amazing!! And insurance wasn't much more than the salon and hatch put together.
Can't say I was a great fan of the Mk2 Golf, but a mate of mine has one with a VR6 engine, and he's smoothed some of the bodywork out and tbh I do like it a lot. My dad's also got a Mk3 GTi, which I quite like too.
mk2 golfs are the best in my opinion the mk3 was starting to get slow and fat :lol:
Wicked, Kinda miss my golf.
I used to have a white GTi 8v Digi, the only thing with digi is the lag You'l know what I mean after drvining it for a while. I wanted to drop a 16v lump into mine butnever actually bothered and the insurance was too much so i ended up selling her.
ah well, get some pikkies up man.
Heres mine in all her former glory.

very nice mate
mk2's are the best, great looking car epo
it just needs my touch now with a big bottle of autoglym
That looks proper tidy epo, i have always liked mk2 golfs.
What sized engine do the golf gtis have?
1.8 8v or 16v
Do you know what bhp yours is, how much quicker does it seem compared to the sri.
love golfs damn quick as well

yeah, thinking the same fella. 110 In third? mine would just about do that in 4th poss less. It was only an 8v tho.
even a 16v wouldnt touch 110 in third tbh, unless there was some supercharger power in the equasion.
i got the car for 500 of a m8 who had it since new but had 5 kids so he needed to get shot was a ace car if it wasnt for the rust and amount of fuel it used when ya put ya foot down think its my fastest car i ever drove =s wont be tommorrow as im getting a go in a 200 Sx
110 In third? mine would just about do that in 4th poss less. It was only an 8v tho.
lol my GT-Four just hits about 100 in 3rd....
as im getting a go in a 200 Sx
I hope its dry tomorrow then :lol:
yea me two .. dont no where the bloke gets them all from he owns a shitty garage sells shit cars but hes got like 7 200 sx s now doing them asll up and selling them all look smart going in a G reg one tomoz hes just finished doing it all gonna be a track car its really nice .. yea the GTi did that in 3rd at 8000 Rpm
lmao @ Roadknight (or whatever his name is) so it's a bit nippy is it then ?
Nice Golf Epo, i like the Mk2's and Mk1's the best. A lad round here has a VR6 in a mk2, and it flies, flew past one of my mates doing i'd say 140-150mph +
Another one of my friends has a 200SX and has just bought a turbo for it, and it's like the size of a house, needs a 15 litre intercooler tho ! lmao
Oh epo, the Clocks in the 8v only goto 120 and the 16v had 140 or 160 i forgot.
It was just they way they did it.
recon ill try find some 16v ones then
What year is yours??? Has it got CE2 wiring?
Quick cheak: Where is your hazard light switch?
If u have CE2, get a set of Mk3 golf stalks as well. Straight plug and play, if not... Worth upgrading anyway. Stealable from any Scrayard's
the hazard switch is behind the steering wheel on top if you know what i mean
good stuff, you've bought yourself a 90 spec Golf mk2.
The ce2 Wiring is Plug and play, Makes engine conversion Miles Miles easier...
Get some Mk3 stalks fella, direct fit.
nice one i shall put them on me shopping list ta :wink:
i knew you be a good source of info for the golf mate :+:
lmao @ Roadknight (or whatever his name is) so it's a bit nippy is it then ?
TURRRRRRRRRBO! :lol: well it scared my dad anyway :lol:
A lad round here has a VR6 in a mk2, and it flies, flew past one of my mates doing i'd say 140-150mph +
Yeah, one of my mates has a mint silver Mk2 with a VR6 in it... afaik he wants to sell it though.
