    Finally got it!

    After much hardness and annoyance mainly due to NRMA i got my new car, a 91 GTI 5 door off of Loon (thanks for holding onto it for me)

    Drove sweet as on the long trip home, didnt miss a beat. Feels a fair bit different to the Mk1 handling wise.

    Will post some pics when im home from work.

    p.s. Will hopefully have the Wolf3d from my old MkI in it soon and/or a 16v depending on funds.

    Nice one, welcome to the mk2 club I'm keen to hear how you think it handles in comparison to the mk1.

    I went from a mk1 to a mk2 and the main thing i noticed was the power steering! I liked the MK1 better though, felt more "hand on".

    Glad you got back ok. Bet it feels like a grown up car in comparison to your Mk1.

    If someone had told me i could lower my car a ****load without destroying the ride at all I'd have cried BS but having racked up 100km yesterday with this Weitec set-up I'm amazed!



    Yes I will change my sig shortly...

    Feels so much more responsive, love the power steering but I can still feel the road through it which i like. I really like it but there is just something missing for me after only owning two mk1's before. I'm in the process now of money saving and planning future engine mods, I can cure my longing for my mk1 again by making this one go faster then it did

    I know what you mean about something missing, although I think my mk2 16v is now just as raw as my old mk1's
