Well, some people seem to like the idea of a run to Whitby so thought id try get a thread going before winter arrives!
The dates I have in mind are the 7th or 14th August (both sundays).
The plan would be to meet at an agreed location at around 1030ish and cruise over to Whitby and...
My mate came round today in his Astra VXR - D.
Its got full vxr miltek exhaust system, eibach springs, panel filter, pro race 1.2s and re map so is putting out around 210bhp and 350lb of torque.
I took it out for a spin and it went well - very smooth power delivery in every gear.
Heres...
I know there have been a few car park meets over the last few months but I wondered if anyone fancied a run anywhere before the weather goes really pants!
I used to own this car around 8 months ago but sold it as I just fancied a change but have always missed it since I sold it. The car is a S1 Rallye with 1.6 16V engine from a 106 gti.
I kept in touch with the lad who owned it and we came to a bit of a deal with my Golf and I now have it back...
Some of you may remember my old exclusive;
Well, I sold it a couple of years back and was looking through the net when I came across this pic.
It looks like it had an exciting life after just driving me to work and back
Thought id start a project thread so I can add any new stuff I do to the Golf.
Always wanted to get into the VW scene and always liked Mk2's so decided to go for this. Went for the 5 door option as have got two kiddies now. 91 on a J plate gti 8v with 170k on it with history. A few dints and...
Gave the Audi it's first wash of the year. Still scrubs up ok for a 7 year old bus.
It recently cost me 1300 notes to get a gearbox issue sorted so will be keeping it for a few years yet!
The vr6 has finally been dropped into my mk2 golf.
Not driven it much yet but needless to say it's an improvement on the 1.8 8v.
Just a couple of iPhone pics to start - I'll get some better ones tomoz
Still needs a few bits on the body sorting and need a new filter and...
Spotted this today at squires in sherburn near Leeds along with a 106 quick silver.
Both on the parking area at the back and revving the tits off 172, bouncing off the limiter innit!
The bikers looked impressed!
Picked this up today as planning to drop the vr6 in my mk2.
The cars in pretty reasonable Nick but no history. Runs sweet as a nut though!
Here's some iPhone pics - needs a wash but not in this weather!!
Spotted today at about 2is at macdonalds h in wales somewhere (I don't know where).
Had a ktec sticker on rear side window and looked to have a ktec stealth system.
I want to spruce up my golf a little with a bit of paint and a few dents.
Can anyone recommend me one in the Yorkshire area. I've got a few quotes so far but want the job doing right at a reasonable price (if that's possible!).
Got the new coilovers fitted on Friday so here are a few pictures.
Massive improvement on the previous suspension which turned into cheese after 20 years.
Here's the shots, apologies for the quality, the light was pants;
The lack of seats in the pug was proving to be an issue so have replaced it with this;
91 vw golf gti 8v - certainly not the quickest car in the world but a nice cruiser!
Well I fitted the rallye rimmage today and also fitted some original bumper vents to replace the fog lights that were there before. The steels will need a refurb when I change the tyres but will do for the time being.
Also took out the passenger seat and am running gangsta with just the one...
The bonnet on my 106 is going a little pink due to age etc etc.
I was thinking of getting the bonnet and roof wrapped in carbon film but am concerned as its obviously not the 'real deal' (carbon bonnets for S1 are £500 ish) The roof is already black as a non sun roof roof was installed by the...
I thought id put together a little history of my cars (the ones I have got pictures of anyways) as I was super bored today.
My 1st car - a 1977 Mk1 Polo which only had 17000 miles on it when I bought it (my bros gf in it in the pic);
I then went from this to a Nova 1.4 SR, to a Saxo...
Had a drive in the 106 up to the buttertubs today.
My back was destroyed after 40mins with the bucket seat and I was deaf after 15mins but still enjoyed it.
Took a few pics but not loads as there were too many ramblers about.
I noticed that renaultsport are doing the tubs and the date looks like it will be the 16th.

I'm thinking about tagging along as not been up there this year...
