Engine-swapped or imports? I know two engine swapped - Sean's white one in Melbourne and ex-Oli's burgundy one. Don't know where that one is anymore. -
Genuine imports only.Comment

As mine came (heaps of supermarket dents) and a kiddie seat
standard ride height!!!
96 ex-uk (miles on dash) GTI 2L 8V AGG 115hp O2O cable clutch box. ABS,PS,PW,AC,Sunroof, black VR6 sport seats, black dash and door cards, smoked tails,brakes are from the VR6 and the 15"s are called 'long beech' foglight kit too
The 5dr 16v's we get here are ex-japan imports in silver, white, red and black and there is one dragon green 16v about. 16v running gear is pretty much all from the VR6 not the GL/CL. And the 16v will have EDL in the diff, a basic traction control linked to the ABS, it is automatic and stops working over 40kph
NZ did not get the VR6 colour concept like you guys have
Bit of a saggy bum here lol

Nice pics Bsting. When I was buying a GTI in the UK in 99 all the mk3 ones in my price range had been thrashed so got a tidy mk2. The 16v I saw in Adelaide years ago had interstate plates on and was black.Last edited by evorobin; 08-09-2007, 01:40 PM.Comment

No worries mate. Pity you guys cant get em in aussie, or even bring them in ex-japan, they are good well spec'd daily cars.
Not a patch on a well sorted mk1 or 2 in the handling stakes
Dragon green GTI bog standard

So I take it Mk3 GTI's dont have a turbo like Mk4 GTI's?1996 Golf VR6 Colour Concept GreenComment

Sadly, they are all N/A
The 16v ABF ones go good, but you have to keep them above 3500-4000 rpm when feeding them!

Surprisingly there's a big noticeable difference between the 16V in the GTI and 8V in the GL. Oli gave me a spin in one when he still had his and it pulls very hard for a 2.0L!Comment
