Cheap gti's

[jenk]

Am I mad for wanting another mk2?

I wont be doing this until well after christmas but i fancy myself a project.......abit of a weapon!

How much do we think i could get a half decent one? What would be the main thing i would need to look for in the car ? Decent shell the main priority?

Any help or ideas would be great, you can even try putting me off the idea

errm quote/unquote slam it? hehe

 

[m0rk]

Do it, I did today

reasonable shell, but don't make it or break the deal on that

age, overall condition etc but parts are cheap either way - I wouldn't pick a pre facelift early one.

Haha! This will be for going fast, geometry set up for optimum handling. If that requires a slamming then so be it

Weres the thread mate? I wanna see Oh yeah and get megasquirt on it so i can bother you for advise!

I was thinking about the pre-facelifts, for some strange reason whenever i see one the arches etc. are always in perfect condition.

What did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

 

[m0rk]

you have a PM

if I keep it I'll megasquirt it for sure. flatspot a plenty to fix.

 

[jenk]

Recieved, cheers

The one thing that annoyed me about the 8v was the flat spots and terrible throttle responce. Theres a good read on edition38 were someones fitted megasquirt to a 2E (i think) with the aim to improve on its faults, big improvements all round.

do it

or a 16v Cordy..... one was just bought for £450 off Ebay... see Cordy section

 

[jenk]

Thats cheap as chips, will have a look see. Do cordy's handle better?

 

[Gm8]

my 8v was 300 , but does/did have some rust . they pop up cheap every so often

 

[jenk]

Abit of 'curable' rust wouldnt bother me. Yours looks decent in the pic's you've posted up......bargain at that price!

cheers , my main concern is serious lack of reverse gear lol .

 

[Chrisdaman]

buy migs, i think he's selling his soon

come back into the mk2 fold

 

[jenk]

I doubt mig will sell his cheap.

 

[Czechboy]

Yeah I'm afraid it won't be going very cheap, just reasonably priced for its mint condition and spec

Cheers for the plug tho Chris

Jenk, deffo do get another one, I know you won't regret it, a trackday machine

I didnt think anyone went for kiwi's they just got them when there was no others availiable

 

[F2 Ed]

Kiwi is my favourite of all the mk2 colours

If i cant find a nice 8v one it will have to be a black one

 

[Brummy]

I *knew* you'd be back, Jenko

 

[jenk]

Its hard to stay away brum

Kiwi's nice aslong as the colours nice and rich........very rare though! Purples the best but i would settle for anything.
