I personally think you will struggle, the novelty will at times wear off and you will want money for other things (going out, the gf ect), but then good on you for trying, its dedication paying that much on running a car,
Probably got blocked drain holes down the sides of the wings by the scuttle pannel, whip the pollen filter out, if thats soaking then the water has gone down your air intake and leads into the passenger footwell,
Holy fuck, another thing is to get it on Vag com before you buy if its possible, I just took my laptop with me when I bought mine, I wouldnt buy anything unless iv had it on there first
I find that T1R's seem too go a bit hard after a while, also mine wore very badly on the edges, and if im being really fussy I dont like the way the tread pattern doesnt go all the way to the edge of the tyre instead finishing in the centre section which makes wheels look skinny,
Well put it this way mines all modded on my mk4 and I had too really puh mine too keep up with my neighbours mk5 derv around some winding B roads! If you did do the suspension on the mk5 it must be awesome! Think the independant rear suspension makes a hell of a difference, vw spent a fortune on the mk5 getting the handeling right, the chassi is so stiff,
