@ Chris

Yeah, I know the std. wheel setup on MK2's is staggered, but still think the rears looked tucked in even with stock rims. Must just be my weird eyes :cyclops:

Re: [FINALIZED] 1999 Red UK Rev.5 NA T-Bar 79k (price reduced - now £3250 ono)

No worries bud, What's your budget? I am open to (sensible) offers too. I know it's quite a lot to ask for a MK2 but I spent a long time looking for a good one, paid a fair bit for it and it's been very well kept since, plus done a few subtle mods. It's had all the MK2 'weak points' addressed - new ...

That is surprising... did the turbo cause you many problems with insurance?

Re: MK3 model year changes...

Yes there's no denying it, the 3S-GE is a heavy lump, all that iron slowly rusting away :(

I've also just read that the MK1 kerb weight was similar to the MK3 - around 1000kg. Just makes you wonder what happened with the MK2???

Re: MK3 model year changes...

It is a good point highwaystar, the storage on MK3's is pathetic! I thought the boot on my MK2 was a bit titchy, but seems pretty generous after comparing it to a MK3... TBH I think this may end up being a deal breaker for me too, we shall see...

Re: MK3 model year changes...

Greetings fellow frog Many thanks for your comprehensive reply, I am now a bit wiser and would probably be happy with an 03 car. Don't think my budget would stretch to a 05 or later model anyway. I actually had a quick look at an 06 car today, salesmen probably thought I was weird trying to peek und...

Hi all Thinking of swapping my MK2 for a MK3 and was just after some buying advice re model year changes (apologies if this has already been discussed many times before!) I will definitely be aiming for a 2003 or later facelift model, due to improvements with wheels, gearbox etc plus I reckon they j...

Re: URGENT! (possibly) RADIATOR HELP!

I have similar rad problem. I jacked up the front of my car yesterday (to sort out a wheel bearing) and had a shock when I looked underneath. Seems like almost half of the blocks / fins have been knocked out of the rad by stones ets and were either twisted up in the fan or just hanging down :( I gue...
