Some guys on here were bidding on this on fleabay. Well I had the winning bid
I'm the proud owner of this wondrous piece of machinery.
I also bought a massive huntsman spider who decided to run across the bonnet in the m5 tunnel then run across my door as I got out when I got home. He met my thong soon after haha
Engine wise, the 1.8 is perfect! Runs better than my Vento. This is my first manual car, I've never even touched one prior to this. I think I'll pick it up quick, gonna drive around the streets here every afternoon til I'm confident enough for main roads lol.
I have no real idea how the clutch is supposed to feel. Basically I think it travels way too far and is very stiff. Could I need a new clutch cable?
There is some insane camber on the front right which I'll try and diagnose/fix later this week. Apparently it was caused by getting it towed about 6 months ago.
...biggest rust bubbles evar! I'll be getting these fixed for sure.
Sadly I will have to sell the Vento...would love to keep them both!
Eventually my Borbet reps and Weitecs will go on the Golf and I'll sell the Vento stock standard.
Need advice regarding the clutch and the camber![]()
