was looking at one on autotrader yesterday!!!

what they like then?!?!?!

as i'm possibly getting the URGE!!!

 

never had one but i like em, theyre just very unusual, i've only seen one on the roads

if youre used to a cossie it will be slow i imagine too.

 

my mate has one, lovely car, rare, and handle VERY well

and the supercharger sounds sooooooo cool

 

I had a 3 door cos for about 2 months and hated it!!!

apart from that, i'm used to a standard S2 and an S1 thats always broken!! so a skate board would be fast in my opinion!!!

appartly they are about 160bhp but 200bhp is easily achaivable with pulley change, chip and ecu......but then they recommend the supercharger get rebuilt every 20k

 

spiky,

the one i was looking at was LHD...did they do RHD drive ones?!?!?!

 

theyre all lhd aswell IIRC so overtaking would be a bastard!

 

keithG666 you should be ok on the break down side of things as vw's tend to be pretty well built

 

this is the one i was looking at....


description:
Manual 5 speed, 115,000 miles, Metallic Dark Grey . Un Registered, Be The First UK Registered Owner, 17" Brand New TSW Alloy Wheels, Half Leather Rallye Trim, CD Player, E/W, Sunroof, Supersprint Exhaust, One Of The Rare Cars With Climate Control (Climate Control Unit Needs Attention). Very Good Example.....Needs To Be Seen. Ł5,495.



what do you think?? i love it!!! girlfriend HATES IT!!!

 

ahhh...no need to overtake though!!! i'll always be infront!!!

 

looks same colour as my mates,

he's had it about 6 years, his is on about 105K and never let him down,


boot is tiny , due to 4wd system, which again is strong,

not sure what they like on launching tho...lol


i'd go for it dude, i'm sooooooooooooo tempted with one myself

 

not if im about you wont!

 

oh and them headlamps are fooking expensive


i have another mate with a gold syncro, which is the normal body golf, but same engine and transmission as the above, and it runs 240bhp, not been in it, but supposed to be VERY rapid

 

i just love it. the more i look at it aswell!!!! missus thinks its disgusting!!!

the G60 registrar say that 200bhp is easy to obtain and is enough for a fast, reliable and good handling car...as long as its looked after!!!

 

the interior is a bit dated but it has leather!!!!

climate control looks a bit 'iffy' though!!!

 

climate control????? didn't think it had that


yeah inside bit dated, but it is an old car

still nice inside though

 

looks stunning mate!

 

keithG666 its gorgeous, wheels suit it a treat too

 

Yeah, the REALLY rare G60's had climate control....

but if you look at the engien pic with one.....it takes most of the engine bay up....and the intercooler ends up on top of the battery because of lack of space!!!

class!!!

 

exactly what i thought....showed the girlfriend with a big smile on my face and she basically said..."its disgusting.....when are you going to grow up?"

 

MMMMMM i want

 

i had a corrado G60 with a stage2 charger on it, it was ok but it is like half a ton more and fwd. 4wd would be mint in mk2 golf, that looks really nice.

 

sooooooo tempted!!!!

LHD will take me a while to get used to i think!!! days and days of opening the door instead of going for the gear stick!!!

 

looks lovely! Not that quick though (std RST)

 

Awesome cars, my mate had a normal G60 edition blue, was very very nice, the rallye's are even better IMO!

 

the rallye's are a bit slow as standard, can't remember what the 0-60 times are but they are not great. i used to have a mk1 golf cab with a g60 and at over 200bhp it was very rapid! i gave it some real shit (used to spit flames from the exhaust, oh and i dusted my mate in his 225 tt up to about 100!) and never had a problem with it. if you keep the charger serviced you shouldn't have a problem as thats the only weak part really. The charger howl was great too! 5.5k seems alot for that car with the mileage though, you can pay less than that, i would have a look on edition38 forum if you've not already. The 1.8t from an audi tt is a popular conversion too...

hope you get a nice one, not that long ago i was looking for one but decided to get something newer instead.

 

know exactly what you mean there mate, i had the same kind of response when i shower our lass the caged rs1600i

main thing is you like it, you can always find another woman, theyre not as rare as them Rallyes

 

I've always fancied one of those myself Lovely looking motor
Go for it

 

being a dub owner id love one tbh, and looks like a stunning example. mk2s handle unreal anyway, i raced a rallye ages ago and he was goin round corners at 90+ i was struggling at 80

defo get one mate, you wont regret it

Lovely Cars. Quite heavy though because of the 4wd system and not a great deal of power so dont expect lightening acceleration. Change to a smaller pulley and increase of boost to see around 200bhp mark. Charger needs servicing at regular intervals. Look great, sound great and handle well.

 

Exactly the same as the 16v GTi from memory

Lovely cars though

Something a little different and pretty rare
