Title: A New Addition to the Fleet
Post by: illyun on July 18, 2009, 11:36:15 pm
Just got myself a lovely Mk4 1.8T GTI... 91k on the clock, FVWSH, all MOTs, 2003 52 plate, black with new tyres and in excellent condition... £2800   :jumpmove:  Bargain!  I'm decommissioning the Ed30 and that is going into the garage only to venture out for shows, the Drag Strip  :evilgrin: and the occasional track day....   :evilgrin:

Will be picking up the car next weekend and it'ill be used as a family car/runaround until next year when my wife wants a GTI-R  :surprised: TBH, I'll probably keep it past then for myself as for some reason, I really enjoyed the test drive in it even though the suspension felt like jelly - that will be sorted soon enough though.  I'll be getting RTech to do the honours...  :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Oi... cheeky git  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:   To be honest, I was surprised at how much I liked the ride!  And it seemed to pull away noticeably quicker than my wife's Mk4 GTI she had a couple of years back.  Maybe its a 180 version?  Anyway, it doesn't matter as soon it will be a 210 version  :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Ditto, don't know why either.  The mk5 is better in almost every way but I miss my old 1.8T...

Fantastic engines in those..

Nice one Nadeem!  :congrats:

Although I think your first job should be to cover that woodette on the dash!  :sick:

I too had a MK4 of around that time and it was a great car, oh and the wife loved it more than any car weve owned?  :rolleye:

Good purchase, I had 03 MKIV GTI 180 AUQ remaped , for some reason the 150 models get a higher bhp difference when mapped, fitted a full Milltek, front and rear ARB's from Eibach and a K&N panel filter, Dog bone mount :fighting: reckon it was good for 230bhp.
Fancy a Anni one myself after the MKII is finished.

Sounds good, I will always have a soft spot for MK4's, I had one as my first set of wheels  :happy2:

Can't see the car in the link mate but bet it was nice.

Before I saw and bought the mk5, I was hankering after a black Mk4 GTI 1.8T. Plan was to buy a decent condition MK4 for £6-8k and spend £3k or so on mods. Even now, despite having a mk5, a black mk4 golf will turn my head  and I am still lusting after a mk4 1.8T GTI but don't have the cash nor the space!
