3 door mk1 gti for sale..anyone know this car....

**limmy** · 30-12-2007, 11:29 PM

can someone tell me what sort of power the 16v mk2 engine kicks out? my brother used to have a tricked up hyper blue mk1, and think it had a mk2 engine?

everything under the bonnet was colour-coded red, sway bars, removable race steering wheel (mr bean style), electric windows, flared guards, immaculate interior, konis, 3" exhaust...and most importantly...it flew. i was only 17 when i drove it...and i still remember the adrenalin rush. nothing compares to that moment.

he ended up selling it...i had no chance buying it. loving brother was too concerned i would kill myself in the car or something!

KR 16v was rated at 139BHP or just over 103kW at the engine

By the way, the car is worth whatever you're willing to pay for it - it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks! If you're happy to pay a certain price, and it's in decent nick, then what more do you need to know

I can't be sure what it will put out yet, but judging by the many similar setups in the US and Germany, it should have around 250kW/335HP on about 1 bar of boost. I should know for sure by the end of the week

OT

You'll definately have to keep us informed Stu. I'd be predicting a little bit more than that, even with that boost pressure.
My old turbo (GT25/40R) went 344hp on 15psi on a 1.8L CA18 nissan. Your T3/4 should easily make that.

fyi. car is still for sale. had it on ebay with $5500 start price with $7000 buy it now.

ended today with ZERO bids.

asked a few questions to the owner, and the response (and lack thereof) was filled with bitterness. probably the reason why no one wants to look at it.

i mean seriously, there would have to be a good two dozen people out there that would buy this car...considering what it is.

i was prepared to fly down to melbourne, and fork out $7000, but the lack of people skills has turned me a way.

pity...

lack of people skills has turned me off alot of things. suppliers, shops etc. wonder why I never recommended the place I got my exhaust made up at..? well know you know. Luckily that's only one of a few examples.

anywho. is a pity. cause this would be a riot of a car I reckon
