Trenchy's new GTI
« on: December 22, 2011, 09:08:40 pm »
so this is my new baby.....

Initially i swapped a charged mk2 plus some cash for the 200bhp red rocket.....

but ended up buying the charged mk2 back as i missed the rawness of it, plus i'd ploughed a lot o dollar into it....

so heres the cars









MK2

I do love the Mk 2's, my favourite GTi shape. Always wanted one, never got around to it. Digging the colour on the 5, what colour is that?

Love the Mk2  :happy2:

I used to have a G60 years ago and loved it, LHD was a bit of a pain at times, `twas one of the few cars I wish I`d never sold  :smiley:

My G60 is a conversion so I get the advantage of sitting on the right side of the road but still get the power :happy2:

I think it's good mixing classic and modern motors on the drive, although the Mrs has a different view  :stupid:

Excellent cars

Cheers bud. Liking yours too.....
How was it with the upgraded speakers? I'm getting the rns530 fitted for Xmas and fancy a speaker upgrade too.
Will an upgrade help with bass or am I ultimately gonna need a sub for decent bass?
I prefer quality sound to banging bass

Any idea's???? :drinking:

It will give it better bass with the mods you have planned,but you can fit a small sub in the boot and still use your boot

Mate, you've got my two favourite cars I've ever owned! I did over 100,000 miles in my Mk2 16V

[img][/img]

And my current Dub is a Mk5 3 dr in Shadow Blue.

Like everyone else who's had a long relationship with a mk2, I wish I'd kept mine. You've done the right thing to buy yours back. You'd have regretted it if you hadn't, like the rest of us!

By the way, I love the oak green colour, and those alloys. (were those off a G60 Corrado?)

Only change I'd make is to get a GTi badge on the grill!

yeah i know i'd have regretted it......

the wheels are from the G60 Corrado and the Golf Rallye..
i figured as i had the G60 engine in the car i'd go for the wheels but leave the rest stock.

I was tempted to go for small bumpers too.... i like the look of small bumpered cars.
I bought a white small bumpered 8v gti for £300, no mot or tax..... was mint, and thought i'd use it for the conversion. but i got it MOT'd and it flew through!!!
 so sold it and made a bit o profit to spend on the charger lol.....

loving how different the two cars are......
