why you should NEVER sell your gti....

[Brummy]

my first thought was Mikes as the ronals was a giveaway..
Reg is different (but is Mikes now wearing a private plate? )

Chris.. if you still had your car, you would have ruined it by now anyway.. your ideas were starting to get cranky.. VERY cranky

 

[gtikezz]

just reminds me santa is going to be bringing me a number plate for xmas

thats enough of that mr brum

my ideas were beginning to become awesome

i'm tempted by another mk2 in a couple of years, like an ABF on ITBs

 

[vngtx]

may only be 90hp diesel but you can remap them to 125 and alot of torque.

Nope

 

[vngtx]

custom code said that stage 2 remap would get 125hp? or would you have to change turbo?

It isnt just with gti's that you get this. I have a similar thing with mine, even though it is only a 1.4.

Ive contemplated selling it on several occasions but couldnt just go through with it. Ive spent money on it making it 'mine' and I would hate to sell it to some 'boyracer' and for it to be round a tree or similar after a few weeks.

So I think it will be a long term project.

i want my 1.4 back!! was so much better on fuel.

Thats one of the reasons I havent got myself a gti. I need my car virtually everyday for work because the public transport in my area is useless.

i think the 1.4 isnt as good an engine though. the 2.0 will last forever. my 1.4 reached 120k and sounded like the crank was going to shatter. my 2.0 is on 165k and still runs sweet! but its not worth the mpg.

My 1.4 has just ticked past 124k and its running sweet. No strange noises from anywhere. Its never had to wait for parts though and I had every single receipt from new, even the purchase receipt.

 

[gtikezz]

i must say i loved my 1.4 but it just wasnt enough hense selling it for a bigger enjine but i think i will be a mk2 owner for a fair few more years yet

When the funds allow, I want to get back in to Mk2 Ibiza/Cordoba ownership.... they get in your blood
