Think we pretty much stole someone's thread with our cars, I didn't get on with the mk3 golf Either, my vr6 spat it's head gasket on the left rear corner apparently it's a common fault, and my gti was slow as shit all noise and no go, 1 car I do wish I'd kept was a mk3 astra gsi the phase 2 I put a calibra turbo engine in I have a video somewhere on the dyno

@andrewj1680 Yeah I know a lad who did that near me, although it was with the mk1. Something around 370 bhp, which I thought was rather tame, but he said the fact the car weighed next to nothing meant it went like shit off a shovel

@andrewj1680 My brother had 2.0 Cavalier Nova conversion. Whilst it was a good engine, it was only the 2.0 8V and he said it wasn't as fast as his 1.4 Carb. Also it had major lift off oversteer issues lol
-
Lol would of thought even a 2.0 8v would of gone well in the nova, my cav was the 16v redtop think I give about £500 for it Def a good buy back in the day. Would hate to think what a 150bhp car would feel like now. Even my diesel mondeo St is running more than that and a return of 47.7 mpg

@andrewj1680 Oh yeah how true that is I don't know.
But it was probably because it was more revy etc.

My mk3 is my baby and she never lets me down. Got a ajq 20vt under the hood running 1.7 bar of boost takes lots of shit and make me smile and others surprised.Used to have a mk2 I rebuilt but I scrapped that to try And win a girl back that didn't work doh lol

@Bentley The GT'S and Glanzas were only ever sold in Japan. They are all imports.
They are quality cars, but old. With age comes replacement, I haven't driven mine in two years. Only done 500 miles in it and I have spent silly amount of time and money replacing every single nut and bolt.
