[gtimk5]

I agree Velly,
16v's go very nicely in Mk1s. Must be something wrong there.
Congrats on the purchase Steve, looks like its got a good roof on it too mate.
Getting me more inspired to fix my daughters GLI.
Have lots of fun with it.

Hahaha mk1s are quick even the 8v's just need some tender loving care

Funny that, I saw Golfworx's GX powered mk1 keep up and beat Neil's( 99GTI ) mk4 20vt vs a GX 8valve on Kjet..... power to weight is king!

A Mk1 16v goes nicely, but by no means would I say they set the World on fire Don't get me wrong, I've got one running 45s in the caddy, but more for the sound than performance

A Golf Cabriolet to me is a cruiser to pop the roof back and enjoy the sun, not to try and get any major performance out of. Need to remember, that cabriolets weigh a fair bit more than a standard Mk1 and the body flexes going around corners

Yes indeed Mike I was checking the weight and its a fair bit Thats what this car will be a cruiser, from A to B and the weekend cruiser thats what I had in mind anyway, maybe once I get the VR running I might do something drastic to this will see until then cruizin it lol.

More pics tonight guys I promise

man i would like to see what you think is quick, my dad had a mk1 cab with a 16v in it and i is slow as ****, man you must think vr6 is like a f1 car

did I say anything about Vr6's or F1's??!?

Steves cab, with a few mods will be a nice quick get around. I didn't say it would wipe anything, and made no comparos.

but it is fun taking a ragtop out on the track and putting bigger cars to shame.....esp when you think of the money that you spend.
