You should be! Is it a keeper? Have you nearly finished putting your 'touch' on it?

The C is looking great Chris, love the wheels/colour, they suit it spot-on mate

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated ;) Yeah I'm with you on the not caring about bhp figures front, it is about how it drives!! I think that's why I miss my valver more than the VR6. The VR wins on outright performance and sound for sure, but just something about the 2.0 16v gets under your skin!

Oh wow didn't think it would make much difference. What is the difference if not a silly question? More responsive or just faster at all speeds? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine had the 2.0 16v 9a engine. I've had a MK2 Golf before with 1.8 16v Kr and that did feel quicker, or more responsive at least, but there was something that felt better on the 9a. I can't recall if it's supposed to have more torque? Either way I really liked it, but you're right, supposed to be not very tuneable, other than fitting KR cams in the 9a.

Thanks Jim. :thumbleft: I just love the E39!! Did many miles in them 'back in the day' and have been using them as daily transport for the last 18 months or so. However, a new job and company car means it's no longer my daily. I don't want to get rid as I love the car, but it just doesn't seem the right car for weekend only hooning around. There was something about the 2.0 16v engine I just loved - a lot more so than a 1.8 KR. I didn't think there'd be much in it, but despite being a bit ropey to look at, I do miss my old valver!
