What sort of issues would you have insuring 2 cars?

It's easy if you can get one as a classic, but if you cant I imagine it can get expensive.

Thats where the Mk2 GTi and the Pug come in handy.....

Cheeky fooker :D

FTR I have size 10 feet and the pedals were only an issue for about 2 days. It seems natural now and heel and toeing would be a cinch if I knew what I was doing ;)

Also - No Burberry necessary :D

Sorry :D

My sis had a VTS and it never felt that quick or special.

Gary - Pug has been in bits through choice tbh. I bought it as something to rebuild, to increase my mechanical knowledge, hence i'm taking my time with it and doing it properly. Not knowing so much beforehand means I have to read about stuff, then do it rather than judt diong it :D

I could've just bought an unknown Mi16 unit (which is what most do, and why they breakdown a lot), then stuck it in and away we go, but its been fun doing it the proper way, albeit costly so far.

From my POV, I dont have a great deal of spare time, so cant fiddle with the car in the evenings/weekends as i'd like.

A car is as reliable as you make it generally - get a good one of anything and you are fine - just look at C_W's Mi16 - numerous trackdays without problem.

Your's isn't a Graphite Grey one is it? :)

Miami Blue, plus I have a reliable white 405 Mi16 as well :D

Also look at
Honda civic 90-92 VT. 150-160bhp, very very reliable.
Honda CRX 16v/VTEC.
The VTECs can mak 170-180bhp ish with manifold,exhaust,induction and IIRC teg r inlets. Full poly bush kits are $80 off ebay.COM. Full set of GAZ coilovers £480. Rover 623 brakes £120, and some Ferodo DS2500 pads £80 ish.
Worth a look;) My CRX was track ready when sold (16v) for very little.

LMAO - how easy people bite on Scoobynet :rolleyes: :Whatever_

Anyway, if you want a VR6 you might as well buy the decent one, the Corrado :p

Bite? Were you fishing? Pardon me - I just thought you were just ignornant / blinkered and therefore you needed a little reason in response to your post ..... ;)

The Corrado is a great road car - but as they are more valueable and actually weigh 55kg more than the Golf - I couldn't recommend it!
Also once you have gone past a chip change / throttle body / cone filter the power difference (of the 2.9 over the 2.8) shrinks from 16bhp to less than 5bhp. This makes a mildly tweaked Corrado slower than a Golf with the same tweaks!

Next! :D

What about a G60? Is that more tuneable and a lighter lump than the VR6?

Good shout - but unless you can find one with a new supercharger - they are prone to failure at anything over 40K ...

Mod this and its better than that blah blah blah, same with everything!

LMAO at you calling me blinkered! Quality - keep it coming, how people take the internet soooo seriously is comical :D

Corrado VR6 anyone?

Cost alot more than a like Golf.

Yup - that's why my mate has just put an Mi16 in his 205 GTi - he wants to play at a higher level ... :)

Well just go and read your own posts - or better still - read a few of Guttman Pugs - he seems to know what he is talking about. :D

oooooooh reallly :D

How about a MkII golf with VR6 engine, running gear etc.

Tricky to do right (wiring nightmare due to all the VR6 sensors and getting the driveshafts to sit right) - but very fast!

Same theme is the 1.8T engine in a Mk2 :D

Yup - still got your Supra?

I heard of someone trying to merge an early 4-motion (was it called Country? Jacked-up job) with a Corrado to get a 4wd Corrado.

Don't know what came of it.

;)

Nope! R33 GTR!

Golf Country was a Mk2 with the PB engine 1.8. Permanent AWD. LHD only. Rare as an english rugby win. Have seen diesel conversions and nearly bought one. Poor parts availability, only ever made about 2500 I think. Most are on the continent. www.autoscount24.de is a good place to start. You can hit a button and get it into english.

BD, I'm not building it, but heard it was a project of a friend of a friend - and this was in about 1992-3, so lost touch looooong ago...
