Newcastle newbie, 96 gti


Recommended Posts

Hi, my names Andy, 35, from

newcastle. Just signed up as a member. Had my gti for nearly 2years now. After many years of turbo nissans and type Rs, I'm missing a little power, so I'm looking for a 3dr vr6 this summer. Ill be properly lurking just getting some information etc.

Welcome to the club mate. Where about in Newcastle you from? I'm sure I've seen your car kicking about. Why don't you do a vr6 swap on your gti?

Thanks. I'm from gosforth. The car only comes out maybe once every few weeks. It's a day off car, or it goes to the odd meet. Before I stopped using it every day you may have seen it in Kingston park as that's where I work. I did a lot of work to the underside before edition last summer and stopped using it after that. 

Doing a vr6 swop has been on my mind, but I really want a 3dr shell. My gti requires a fair bit of cosmetic stuff, front wings, rear arch repairs etc etc, usual car park dents. I could put that towards another car. My thinking is mk3 prices will soar soon, good ones are getting fewer and fewer, so I'd like to get in now while I have a chance to afford one at reasonable prices. 

We have a few v6 sierras too, so even though I'm a Vw boy, the 6 cylinder link will be quite cool I feel.
