    hey mate , if you arnt too worried about going fast and just want a nice drive just give your motor a good service, waterpump belts etc. and drive it around. there are plenty of options if you want to go fast.

    hows the body mate? any rust?
    Yeah I have thought about it some more and spoke to Biran at GTI Imports. Screw getting another motor. Might just make it breathe better.

    None except a piece about 20c just under the windscreen near the passenger wiper. Might take a pic

    Hey

    It came from Alexandria but there is a red 2-door, in the same street, and I think that's the plate.

    Yeah I saw that and when they gave it away I nearly fell over.

    I want that car bad!

    Put new plugs and leads in. The misfire is gone.

    It still idles weird. Think I need to clean the idle stablisation valve?

    Anyway Mischa and I are gonna service it this weekend.

    I might even turn it into, wait for it, a GTD!

    Thumbs up

    Very unusual for one of these cars to have any rust I must say. The Oz imports have a very good rep for rust, unlike the earlier ones
    Unless you want to go really fast, just do the exhaust, like you say & maybe a cam if you feel like it later on
    MY car has 301k on the odometer, still bullet proof with the original motor the only fault is that the valve stem seals are leaking, It is the most reliable & economical car that I have ever owned
    Overall they get knocked far to much on this forum
    The best overall conversion pound for inch would be a ABF on these cars, they were not built to house a vr6 & it will handle like a vr6 not a mk2

    I must say that I would NOT advise anyone to deal with Gti imports in relation to running a VW, the guy does not know the difference between 200k & 300k on a engine, not to mention you can get things cheaper else where & without the grief

    Yes on the suspension but the brakes are great with pads and fluid...PI on slicks say no more.

    I can organise a new motor for cheap if you need one too
