'87 Jetta GTI 16v

Exsqweeze my ignorance but are they they US 15" snow flakes??? or are they 14's on low pro's?????

yep they sure are US 'flakes with 195/45 tyres on an 8" wheel

its about time I updated.......
After WTA was basically raped for parts for the GT Special restoration, its pretty much sat there all sad and sorry for itself on my drive (driving down local house prices no doubt). Life in the Golf Country daily driver has been ok but i long for a good ol' valver thrashing! The RE1900 engine is pretty much rebuilt (thanks Rob) and with the addition of some Kent cams, schrick sump, new rings and **** loads of gaskets and elbow grease, it should be ready for the CGTI track day. The buckets and harnesses are in, its pretty much has alll the stolen parts replaced, its as filthy as hell! Now theres the OMP strt brace to put on, the 25mm ARB to bolt on, and a good going over necessary. Will I make it- quite possibly or ill be ragging a Golf Country along the Bedford Autodromes 3.6 mile GT circuit!! (or at least until I roll it.....................)

very nice

It made it and went very well considering it was still set up for the road and the engine was only basically setup. I had so much fun that i also ended up at Donnington for Sunday afternoon! Robs friend organises some days there so possible event in the future??

a long overdue update

I made it to the CGTI Bedford day in November '11 but only just!

We finished getting the car ready at 10pm but hadnt had the chance to lower it or fiddle with the suspension
