I own a mk2 16v golf turbo(230bhp/248lbft)which is much faster than my mates mk2 16v and scoobies can be surprised how quicks hes 2ltr golf is

Looks like i'll have add atleast another 60 bhp(280bhp) on my scooby to give me a chance.

Looking to replace a G reg 16V Gti with something a bit more exciting - have always liked a Corrado VR6, but I'd like some opinions. Budget of 5 to 7k, only criteria is that it must do at least 25 mpg and be a good family car!!

Oh yes, and be bloody good fun to drive!!

Buy another mk2 16v gti but tidier and then turbo it

 

I had a corrado vr6 a while ago.. and if I remember right you could just about manage 26mpg on a motorway run! about 17 around town..

 

I know someone with this done and its very quick and reliable! I don't think its Classic Shape Scoobie quick but not far off. He bought it that way though so I don't know the costs involved.

 

I have a 1996 Peugeot 306 XSI for sale. 34800 miles, K+N Induction Kit, Ecosse grill, Chipped and lowered. Passive rear wheel steer, keypad alarm and immobilisor. I'm looking for £4000 ono.
Call me on 07803 939881 for full spec if you are interested.

 

I've got a Corrado VR6 for sale !!
Classic Green
beige leather
electric w/m/roof etc.
86,000 miles, FSH, Excellent condition, Warranty etc.
up at £7,495 & I'm in Kent.

BTW I get average of 28-30 mpg. Very rarely less than 25mpg. Motorways - 33 mpg quite easily.

I went to this from a Golf GTi16V mk2 big bumper model and never looked back. Now on a Honda S2000 so don't need the VR6 any more.

 

I take it that converting the normally aspirated Golf to a turbo is no easy task!! I'm no expert in any way at all, but how does standard Golf running gear handle the extra 90 odd bhp?

I'm actually quite proud of my Mk 2: 185,000 miles, a few expected electrical problems I suppose, but still runs well. I've had it for two years now and want something that will see a few more years out!!
