all i know is, i have 8 air bags, a 6 disc cd changer, a/c, power steering, a factory turbo, runs 15's stock and weighs 2,900lbs.

its got plenty of potential, its gonna be fun.

KYLE.

alot of people don't like VW because of issues saying maint. so on i kno couple Friends that have them beat the hell out of them and they have been fine just my observation not trying to start anything... good luck

ninjastance_batmang

well, the main thing ive seen with the 1.8t's, or golf's/gti's in general, is the electrical system.

since 2003+ they have fixed the main electrical issues, and that fuggin stupid plastic window gear issue, where the window falls into your god damn door due to the plastic gear breaking.

hah, thats really sad that it took them a few years to fix that, but either or, i got the best earliest year golf/gti/1.8t, 2003+ is the year to get to avoid electrical probs.

yeah, makes a honda look like a piece of cake.

so why exactly did you change? my guess: Tuscon+ no a/c

ninjastance_batmang

well, that wasnt the only reason, i just have always liked gti's in general, and now that im in a position to afford a newer one, i just... jumped for it.

ill always love honda's, but.... i dunno.. change isnt always bad.

your life, your money. have fun with the turbo

ever wonder why Honda rule the tuning world..?

cheap used car----turn into---cheap/reliable fast street/race car

Honda= mugen, spoon, toda, type R, =fun and still look good


VW 1.8T= ugrade bigger turbo=done, no fun here.

been there done that....went from a 91 300zx Twin turbo torque monster, 93 rx7 back to an EG hatch.

EG= easy tuning, more reliable.

ah phooey you got a new car! as sad as i am to see the ek go, gongrats on your purchase.

do a background check on any potential buyers to make sure "altezza" and "nawz" dont show up in thier vocabulary.

oh dont get me wrong, there's a reason i ended up going through sports cars such as domestics, dsms, etc, and then finally settling on a honda to finally make me happy???

haha big block ek = torque, reliable, gas milage if i can keep my foot light, cheap insurance, cheap parts, easy tuning etc etc etc.

i just wanted to clarify that there are plenty of great top notch german companys with plenty of nice parts available for that vw. im sure we'll see a few in the future right batmang?

You must know what good wheels cost! As far as the price it's very fair. Do you want to have an English contest or something?

That looks like Darth Vader's head with wheels. ******* dope . I don't like VW's much, but a well done car is a well done car, be it a Ford Taurus, a Chevy Corsica, a Honda Civic or a VW Golf.

Enjoy your new toy .
