MarineIguana Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Agree with the RS2000 lump nice power no lag , A turbo is a pain in the arse to be messing with, Wheels look nice, the hood looks like it needs the cable redoing on the side as its popped out from the runner. And welcome to the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tony.rose Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Good luck with the cab, one thought is, be careful with the engine choice as with your young years the insurance will be a killer price!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Jackson Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Nice colour,nice leather option and as mentioned the side skirts seem to work much better than the Gti type. One thing springs to mind. 19 years old-XR3i-Engine conversions=Insurance???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
