1992 Volkswagen Mk2 Golf GTI 20v Turbo......

[richierich37]

Purchased this car at the start of November and have started collecting parts to fit in the new year. The car itself is in very good overall condition just needs a few tweaks here n there!? The previous keeper carried out most of the works and converted the engine to the 20v turbo. It's got upgrade VW G60 brakes, Coilovers, a Quaife diff within the Gearbox and a set of Ceramic polished BBS RS wheels. It's currently running 290bhp and very quick, grips real well with the diff!







The interior had a standard Rainbow one fitted but that will be changed with 2 front recaro seats and a full retrim in a genuine Volkswagen fabric!



Under all carpets and behind all panels the car has been covered in Dynamat....



The car is in the garage today for an oil service and a full check over including a dyno run to make sure it's running correctly and the map is fine!

This is lovely... if I didn't have an MV Agusta on the way, one of these would definitely be a consideration for a play thing...

Sweet!!

[lanky28]

love it, wouldn't mine selling my lupo gti and getting a mk2

[aka_kerrly]

Dam tasty.

I an always appreciate a mk2 that has relatively few cosmetic modifications combined with some proper go faster bits.

How are you finding the Quaife ?

[LanceRS]

Loving it. It looks amazing and from the pictures, a very well done job.

I'll be honest it's totally surprised me, the car grips very well as long as it's relatively dry and pulls like a train through the gears. It's also got a switchable boost button, high boost it's an absolute animal!!!!

Lovely stuff, Richie. Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. Who knows, maybe this will help me get my finger out to get the Corrado on the road (by the way, it's Paul from round the corner )

Hey Paul, this one is a good one fella! Had it out yesterday before taking it to the garage, holy smoke it's quicker than the new S3!!!! Come springtime/summer if you see it in the drive pop in for a chat?!

That is pretty much my perfect car, though I would actually keep the rainbow interior

Once you see the new interior I'm sure you'll change your mind!

Happy to wait and see and be proven wrong !!

More importantly I want to see the progress, love mk1's and mk2's, had my current mk1 about 16 years but would love a mk2 alongside it in the garage

I like that a lot very understated and I do like the interior to

[TheOversteerLever]

Perfect

[littlebasher]

Now that's a quality ride

Bookmarked, lovely thing. But I'm biased, I have a small bumper in tornado pink

Looking forward to see what you do with this!!

Whilst I would change the wheels I also really like the rainbow chairs!

Great car and looks like really nice workmanship too, very tasteful.

[DasChin]

awesome. what a sleeper. OEM interior and nothing to give away the wolf under the bonnet. love it.

[jas xjr]

i am sure the recaro interior will look great. that car is for me, perfect as it is. well done

[richierich37]

I have purchased these Mk2 Electric Recaro front seats........



I will be trimming all seats, door cards and inside the boot with a genuine Volkswagen fabric, I'll reveal which one once I source it?!

I have also purchased a set of Mk2 Sebring wheels that have had a fresh refurb, these will be fitted as I'm sending the BBS RS off to get split, ceramic polished and rebuilt for show use only!



The previous owner had the 'smooth look' on the tailgate, not my style so it will be returned to standard and original badges fitted.....




I want it looking as original as possible bar the engine conversion but that's been done so well it even looks original!!!
