Mk1 Gti, ON THE ROAD.

[6N2 GTI 00]

Thanks dude, drives like you wouldn't believe, its tuned like a race car, second gear can easily chuck you back in your seat. I've changed the engine mounts back to normal one's as the new one's were so stiff, the whole engine vibrations was going through the body/windows/dash. Fells like your sat in a track car.

Its one of those thats really tiring to drive, but after 10 minutes out you just want to get back in it!

Nice one Chris there is something special about old cars, the driving experience is always better and more enjoyable

How does it compare to your old Polo GTI then mate in terms of performance?

Its quicker for sure. Its so different, no luxuries like the polo. Feels and sounds like a race car.

Couple more pics from DDF.





Got the mk1 back today, new cambelt, replaced the cv joint and sorted out the other bits ready for its re-mot.

Got 300 yards up the road and the constant velocity joint went.

So back in the barn till tomorrow at the earliest.

At least it looks pretty when broke.
