Hi Guys!

After a bit of a wander around the forums I thought it was about time to say a hello. My name is Sarah, I'm 19 and I live & work in the Hunter Valley. I have always loved the Golf Gti before I got my license, however one was a little out of my price range for a first car. I'm not a Golf Gti owner, yet, although I am going hunting on the weekend for a mk4. I currently drive a mildy modded Swift Gti, but I think the time has come for something with a little more 'wow' factor and a few less rattles.

[fuzion]

Welcome

Welcome gti_grrl, there are not many girls on this forum and GTI owners at that, so you are one of few, there are many mk4 gtis that are avalaible, go and get a loan and buy Ross mk4 beast, just a little more than what you are looking at

[gti_grrl]

Wow, what a quick response! Thanks for the welcome guys. Is the Ross mk4 youre referring to mk3Vr6, is that the black one in the classifieds section? If so, it is very stylish

fuzion - What is an a3 turbo? Like the Audi A3?

sovereign - Yeah a few. Do you have an email I can send them to?

Sarah Ross's mk4 is GLF18T its a 220kw at the wheels mean machine, courtesy of Sebs handy work. Its the one with the Porsche twists. Very nice.

[gti_grrl]

Oh, yes Im quite familiar with that golf actually. That's the one I came across Sunday night. Ive been trying to justify a 40k loan for it haha. It would have to be hands down the nicest golf I have seen. I love it. Alot.

[DubSteve]

In all it really depends what you are looking for but there are plenty that are out there. Seek and you will find lol

Also check vortex as they sell cars on there also.

Ah the (Audi) a3 turbo is basically the same mechanicals under a different shell. Same brakes/engine/gearbox/etc
The later model a3s (2001 onwards) got a few updates the golf didnt get ( - Traction control, drive by wire throttle, Variable valve timing, 'electronicly lockable diff') and they make a little bit more power when tuned because of the VVT.

I have an Audi a3 and my brother has an mk4 GTI, almost every part is interchangeable except for the interior and body

Either way, you've made a good choice lol.

Oh and my email is sovereign_01@hotmail.com

Hi Sarah and welcome to the forum!

Im a girl, 19, and i have a mk4 silver gti!!! WOW haha

GET ONE!!!! They r soooo great, you will love it! Go for the 99-01ish so you get the recaros and sunroof etc!

Im current putting some H&R coilovers in mine, and have plenty more things to come hehe..

[gti_grrl]

Mk3vr6 - Yeah I had a little look on there yesterday... but There was too many US posts I didnt have time to filter through.

Sov - I plan to check some out on the weekend, however I'm more inclined towards the golf. - I don't think I'd go for another 2 door after having a swift for 3 years, although I do like the sound of saying 'Oh, I drive an Audi' hehe Plus it would make my father jealous...

91eah - Thanks! Good to see that Im not the only female enthusiast around here - with a Golf anyway. Coilovers, nice. Suspension @ handling is the first thing I want to focus on once i get mine. Let me know how they go.
