Mk1 VW golf GTI I have finally finished

[newsh]

No it wasn't Jasons old one mate. It was a none forum owner. He had inherited it and it's been pampered. They are a real jekyll and hyde car. I can potter about getting 33-35 mpg and in the next breathe go through the gears in seconds. Very addictive acceleration.
As for the wheels I suspect they are off an mx-5

Looks a beauty, I don't think I can get 32mpg out of mine though, even on a run. Maybe some new lambdas would help.

I'm extremely happy with the Rs4 with the exception. Of the ridiculously overpriced parts.
I just got 340 miles on a tank, bearing in mind it costs 60 quid to fill as it's quite a small tank I think it's pretty good. Motorway cruising with cruise control on I've seen 35.

No, this RS4 came from a member of my family and yes this was an absolute beaut and bargain! Very Very well cared for car in its past.

The golf looks lovely. Wish I had a Mk1 like that....

I like the mk1 but have to say when it comes to the gti it has to.be mk2.

B5 is a special car for sure. Im never selling mine, it does everything so well. Get some go faster bits on it like 3in downpipes and a map and the mid range is incredible. As you say though specific bits are expensive but theres always a way round them.

Such a shame mate. I would be gutted if i put in all that effort and then sold it.

It was always my intention to sell the vehicle. I bought it from a lad in Sheffield as he had moved projects so needed the funds. I'm happy with the end result and have sold it to a friend who owns a collection of classics. It will be well cared for.

Ahh well if that was the intention then that fair enough.
