My new project - MKII 16v 1.8 1991 Golf

Post by Ben »

After having a blast on sunday I decided that I would hold fire on spending more money on the GTR and get myself a disposable car.

Here she is

This is a car I sold about 12 months ago in a moment of stupidity however I always knew I'd get it back - and I know what I spent on it to make it run perfectly.

Plans are very simple, strip down the interior, sell on the rainbow interior, sell on the BBS, a pair of buckets and some track wheels .... then see how it goes. I do feel a bit guilty as this car is mint, but I know it and I know it won't let me down as I had alot done on it.

Mods wise, it's absolutely standard apart from the uprated shocks and lowering springs, they will at some point be replaced with coilovers ...
Dum spiro, spero

Looks like a minter will look great out on track.
Definetly the way to go getting a track dedicated car along side a jap toy.

I will add that the wheels aren't like that now - the diamond polishing only lasted about 6 months !! .. so had to have them repainted plain old silver ...

1 . A K&N 57i cone filter and thats it!

Dad never wanted to strip it or turn it into a real track demon, as he owned it for too long and doesn't want to spoil it!

It performs really well at the ring for a standard 17yr old car, ask Dunc :lol: Have some suspension for it but havent got round to fitting it yet! Its still living in its homeland!

Looking at a "track"car this weekend in Germany.. We shall wait and see... :twisted:
