Got in the car today to go into town car hunting (it was on it's way out, piston rings are dubious and it's leaking coolant.) and the ecu light wouldn't go off. Then we noticed the fan was dead as well. So we nipped down the road to our mate who owns a vw repair shop to ask what he had in, and Em ended up buying a metallic blue 3dr mk2 golf 1.8 16v gti.

It's bloody quick tho. very bloody quick.

so for the minute the cinq is sat on the drive looking sorry for itself, and tomorrow I have to strip the audio out.

Don't know whats happening to it yet, but It may be being stripped for parts. If so I'll Post!!!!!

Will get some pics of the golf tomorrow if it's not to dark when she gets home from work.

Cheers,
Jon+Em

It rather a large jump. Largest car she's driven was a 1.2!!!!!!!

He had an 8v sirocco, a knackered mk1 golf, and 8v golf gti (wed've had to wait a week for that, and the cinq didn't have that long left!!!) or the valver. Tiz only costing her just over a grand for insurance to0. not bad really.

Has 5 spoke alloys, eyebrow, the big bumper kit with front splitter and a zonder rear spoiler.

plus a magnex full stainless system.

Not bad for under £900

what a shame it isnt a mk1 golf gti you can never beat that

project-cinqy · Feb 3, 2006

A mk1 would've been a bit too old for Em's mum to cope with. She seems to think we've bought a banger as it's done 120k! But I have a fsh from it's import onwards!! and makes no funny noises at all.

so true

shame too as ive got a parts car you could scvange too

Great car the MK2 GTI. The 8v has better pickup at low revs but the 16v is quicker overall. enjoy!

just got to get all the Ice transfered. anybody know what size the front speakers are? Prob not but worth a go?

It sounds gorgeous though, the magnex s/s system rumbles at Idle, and has a nice throaty growl at full chat, it isn't over loud, just enough to turn heads!!!
