What is your insurance like with the IHI declared, reasonable?
Having experienced an IHI golf, I must say the acceleration is very impressive. Buying the car with the work done saves so much £.
Just be careful out there, please don't drive like a t**t on public roads.

tim - lets hope so..but you knw how lazy people are!
tomo - the short shifter is definately staying although cosmetically it needs some work & its not my fault! the synchro in 3rd is f****d i'm sure of it....it still goes in just with a bit of crunch at 7-8k rpm!
stani - there is a gt28rs kit on seatcupra which has been on there for months, i had my eye on it & its up for 2k but has everything you need icluding a mapped ECU, i reckon you could push him down to like 1.4k cash
mk4 glx -Insurance is £830 for the year with greenlight...with 2 years ncb but you have to be an old man (over 23 to get insured with them)..

yeah they really are fantastic...on my old cupra most insurance companies were quoting 3k or uninsurable inc. adrian flux but they offered 1k!!!
as soon as you get old enough give them a ring...you wont be disappointed....just make sure you mention you are an online club member
