Good tough donk that ABF
Ever thought about selling your 5dr and buying a 3dr with the $ and fitting the 16v to one? Take all the good stuff off you have added to your 5dr first and sell it as stock

Yeah doesnt sounds like a bad idea. A 3door 16v mk3 in aus.

Looking good mate, going to enjoy following this one.

BTW, what is this 16v lag you speak of?

These engines dont do much under a certain RPM and you need a gearbox with close ratios to keep it up in the revs when changing gears.

Yep spot on, these engines loved to be revved unlike the 8v. Cheers for the support so far, i would love to do a 3 door but i really cant be arsed and they are overpriced for what they are worth. But oneday

Great to see another person making a effort with a MK3

Yeah a 3 door would be great, I would also like to do it someday but it is a lot of work.

I like the MK4 look lights, what wheels are on your car, do you have any pics of it

They actually have more torque than an 8v from the get go. It just builds well with revs, rather than tailing off

VW version of V-TEC, yo?
