Yeah..the homologated rally cars were 16v... And Simon Evans was the 290hp 16v motor i commented about earlier...

As per my statement above, i was referring to Australian mk3 race cars...

Are there any MK3 16v's about the only one I've seen was dark blue or black and turned up at a Birdwood (on interstate plates) car festival ages ago. I'm not talking about conversions but seriously there is not one single MK3 GTI owner on here or vortex

Given that information, there are the following mk3 16v's in Australia.

1 - a genuine personal import
2 - my conversion from GL to 16v
3 - conversion from vr6 to 16v
4 - conversion from CL to 16v
5 - LHD genuine in a shed
6 - RHD genuine in a shed

Looks like I've lost my individuality now

[Bora Sport]

Yours is still the only personally converted Australian delivered GL in Australia!

Cheers
