  1. Hey! I have an '89 GTI! It's a four door, though. I think it's a GTI, anyway. It's got all the nifty GTI stuff and badging.

     

     

    nice!!! LEMME SEE!

     

    heres new ones

  2. Looks good, how does it drive?

     

    she drives like a dreeeeam man! this is my first FWD car so I was really nervous about that. but as far as the ride, the suspension is stiff but not too stiff/rocky. at full throttle first and second gear are reeeeal loose but at the top of second it starts to grab and plant you in the seat pretty good.

     

     

    My roommate has an '07 GTI and it's a ton of fun to drive. Good little cars. Enjoy it!

    niceeee man i love the mkv's

     

    Great little cars. 1.8T is a good little motor too, just make sure to watch the timing belt, if it hasn't been changed yet, and get the improved pump. They're surprisingly expensive if you eat a timing belt. Ask me how I know :huh:

    the timing belt was done around 75k,so I should probably do one around 150 right? I'm guessing you found this out the hard way

    ...

    Nice! My girlfriend has a 2010 GTI, its a fun little car.

    2 dr? 4dr? it's crazy how they have 4dr GTIs now

     

    My wife just picked up a '08 GTI w/DSG.

     

    Lots of fun.

    They fall apart relative to other Japan competitors, but a great buy nonetheless.

    as compared to what exactly?

    what is DSG?

     

    Looks like the one I had back in the day.

    oh cool do you have any pics? what all did you do to it?

    What do you guys think? I doubt theres a lot of dub fans around here but I recall seeing a few of us when I went to SEZ in 2007/2008

     

    I really have to say that this car is an absolute blast to drive! she spikes to 20psi and holds steady at 17. she pulls pretty hard for a little golf! not to mention 30 mpg if I drive accordingly, and room for me +4 friends.

    I met up with the guy last night (blehh i hate checking cars out at night).

     

    the car has

    hks ss,

    ebay exhaust,

    lowering springs (i think cheesy ebay knockoffs),

    side mounted intercooler. apparently the previous owner had it set up with a ridiculous FMIC, with no blow off valve. I guess when he bought the car the guy told him it had a "blown headgasket." he replaced the turbo, installed the HKS BOV, and the sidemount and it's running fine now. it holds boost at 8psi , and the transmission/clutch seemed fine.

     

    do you guys know anything about these cars to look out for? he's asking 2800 which I for certain won't give him, but if I can talk him down I might get this. what do you guys think?

  5. don't judge me! it's a gas crunch for cryin out loud!

     

    just picked her up for 1750 ...kid was movin out of town and had to get rid of it

  6. Clean your battery posts.

     

    Then get rid of the Volkswagen and buy a different car. Electrical problems and Jetta's go together like white on rice. Kind of a shame to cause they are nice looking cars.

     

     

     

    as usual your posts are very wise!

     

    i'm treading it for a honda in a week or two

  7. recently it has been starting weird...

     

    when you turn the key all the way it turns over once or twice, then completely stops for a half a second, and then turns over and starts after that.

     

     

    is this an electrical issue or does it just need new spark plugs or something?

     

    every time i start it, the usual small things that happen w hen a battery dies happens...the digi clock resets to 12:00, and the radio station presets reset.

     

    car in question is a 1999.5 Jetta 2.0 auto

     

    thanks in advance
