A snap of my newly bought mk1. Its filthy as my dad has nabbed my cleaning kit so will get somemore after the weekend when ive given it a good going over. Use it every day its noisey uncomfortable and harsh but i love it. Alittle bit stroppy when sat in traffic but its fun!
Mk1 GTI with a 2ltr bottom end ported, polished head lumpy cam 4 branch and supersprint system, uprated clutch and bearings in the box, quick shirt kit.
GAZ fully adjustable coil overs with poly bushes all round
Eibach anti roll bar and strut braces front and rear.
Drilled disks braidedhoses and green stuff pads.
Totaly striped with just the dash 2 bucket seats and harnesses.
My favorite bit yoko advan a048 roa legal slicks!
It reminds me of one of my exs as it drinks my little student funds, just randomly stops and doesnt want to go and doesnt like the mornings or telling me whats wrong!
gotta change the exhaust quick time and find original body trim peices if any one has any for sale?
Pics dont quite do it justice but will get some more.

Nice. Make me want another Mk1

Hiya m8
c your a fan of the mk1s

lovely looking tin top there m8ty

I have a mk1 cabby but am so tempted get another tin top .......

c u around chris

Looks well!
Doesn't it feel like you're driving on ice when its wet with those tyres?

Cheers guys.
Its a little risky in the wet and and if im giving it some stick there is always a little flex in the seat of my pants when i hit a damp spot of some grit!!
Just gotta get a chance to give it a good valet which should make it come up a treat!

Looks sweet mate!!! Y u want change the exhaust? V

It will be wound down once ive tidied it up a bit inside. Though the front spoiler catches on pretty much everything as it is. they are corbeau monza? fia approved things things cant remember what they are called but not very comfy so will get some proper carbon shell sparcos in the summer.

Recaros mate ftfw! Forget your splitter touching the floor make your sump hit everything. Got potential.

Id love recaros, maybe if the student buget allows! The temptaion to wind it down is there though my rocco was wound all the way down and the lower strut brace caught on cats eyes! Need to tidy up in the interior like scrapping out the last bits of sound deadening.

Can see this being a super sweet motor when done mate can't wait see it in the flesh!!

starte scraping the old fluff off the roof ready for chalk board paint with the help of my girlfriend (well she scraped and I took photos!)



and next is to paint the floor pan mars red and tidy up the engine bay, maybe with bike carbs if i can make a manifold.


and change the front spoiler so the rtest of it can go lower on the coil overs.
