  • VIC New to the scene

    Hi all,

    Ive been a fan of dubs for as long as i remember, got the bug after my dad as we had many mk1's as family cars. Went to my first ever show at the SEDF and loved it! dragged a mate down from Sydney to check it out also. Lawney suggested i join VWW and what a piece of advice! I definatly want to get in the scene!

    Currently i own a 4door mk1 which im putting up for sale as "the dream project" is a 2 door. A friend of mine offered to sell me his shell along with two and a half other golfs in bits n boxes. Originally wanted to place a 1.8t powerplant after inspiration from that tassie gti but upon greater research decided upon a VR6 with a hint of turbo but keeping in mind im a student (meaning im hovering just under the poverty line) this will be a little long term.

    what are you opinions?

    Nice work mate!

    I personally think a VR6 engine is too heavy for a Mk1.

    Better of having a well balanced car set-up with a hot 8v, 16v or 20v.

    Make sure you get some pics up and get your VW mates to join up aswell...

    Cheers James
