trudubrstu 0 Posted December 29, 2006 hi after 10 yrs with my then minty mk1 gti, i just had to have a change; thought about a tt, mod a mk4 turbo, lupo gti, blah blah blah...but after briefly owning a valver C a few yrs ago, i just had to have another - and when this '94 vr in midnight blue with heated grey cow popped up locally - (with a rebuilt head, grand odd at C&R recently on the suspension,powerflexing, and this and that..) at a good price i just had to have it! hasn't given me any brief yet (touchwood!) in the first 6 weeks of ownership - but i've added smoke/red tails,smoked sides,cat-back magnexand a fresh touch of paint to the drivers door (bubbled up on bottom) /tlc to the bodywork - its had a mop & polish as well. Previous owner was Club Gti, so i've got him to thank for the large bills in his ownership that include 40mm weitec kit (impressive - even after koni's...),powerflexed wishbones,rack, and the head rebuild, a k&n panel fliter and a debadged grille and general looking after - car has a good history, all it's docs/supplying dealers stuff, a well stamped book, an untouched first aid kit,triangle and the spare has seen action maybe twice - only thing not working is the slide on the roof (surprise there then!) future plans include - getting my angel eyes on, 17" bbs rx, schrick 'n cams (or maybe a 'charger...) and a lot more general tlc/tidying - roll on the decent weather eh? so glad i didn't buy a girlie tt now - vr howl is as addictive as they all say, and the handling is awesome :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Hub 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Nice VR and looks like a nice 205 GTI in the background too, good choice of cars. Welcome to the forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trudubrstu 0 Posted December 30, 2006 cheers for the comments fella's hub - 205 gti is a 1.9 on a l reg (must be one of the very last), owned by my dad since new....and has 174bhp :shock: he took it to bbr/gti engineering when it was only 3 yrs old - local garage said they have never had a car in yet that had such low emissions! truly a credit to bbr's engineering skills - it's seriously rapid, and bar the koni kit and magnex looks standard - now coming up to 100k with not one problem yet! peugeot sure as hell don't make 'em like this anymore...... ...heres my old mk1 (i miss it a bit still) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trudubrstu 0 Posted December 30, 2006 hey, if you like that lot.....check what lives in the garage..... it's a '97 993 twin turbo with the x50 factory upgrade (430bhp :shock: ) owned by my 66yr old dad, who i'm glad to say drives it like he stole it ha ha! regularly tracked at snetterton, brands and goodwood - driven it once, and can say it's accelerates like a sports bike! guess you can see where i get my love of german machinery from...
