Hartosh1's mk2 Golf GTi-VR6 Project Nearly finished

[Hartosh1]

Well after the selling the Ibiza which i kind of regret doing now i had to find a replacement. Ive always fancied a mk2 golf and thought too myself i may aswell try one so the search started last thursday and that same night i had pretty much sorted a deal with my mate who decided to sell his.

Its only a 1.8 8v but it seems to pull pretty well considering it has 204k on the clocks it had a rebuild at 170k though. First thing i done when i got it home was give it a wee service also replaced the dizzy cap and rotor arm.

Plans are to get hold of a cheap mk3 vr6 and fire the engine into the mk2 i had thought about putting a 20vt into it but i think it would be pretty insane and harsh on the tyres haha

All comments welcome

Awesome. One of my favourite cars.

But... If you think a 1.8t will be hard on front tires, wait til it has a vr6 in there.

Yeah ive always liked mk2's but i never actually thought id buy one Its a lose lose sitiuation with the tyres i suppose ... ill need to vr it just for the noise though but wont be done for a while
