Hey guys, long time no see (from the Mk1 side)

So my B6 has an RD Technik ECU and DSG tune (for context) and has recently started making the dreaded police siren whine at low RPM, indicating the...

Lots of stuff has happened since, wow haha.

Long story short I now have a Mk2 GTD and a Mk3 TDI.

Here they are together
...

Just a quick update.

Got a GTD badge 3D printed in Hungary and certainly looks the part
...

Hey guys just a quick little thread about my Mk3 TDI. picked it up a few weeks ago for an absolute song and after chasing a smoke/lack of power issue and a replaced intercooler hose its now my daily...

Yeah thought about VR6 seats but I'm fully into the period correctness so want to find some old Recaros with the fishnet head rests



Apparently not 😧 I've gotten used to it but it's still not...

Thanks man, My plans are to keep it as period correct as possible, and I've already started doing that for example replacing the CD player with a tape player that is as close to factory as I could...

Hey dudes just thought I should drop in and show off my 1990 GTD

Imported from the UK in 2009, it has a 1Z TDI from a MK3 with a mechanical pump from a Peugeot

I'm now selling my Mk1 because...

Not much has changed, took the bumpers off and moved the foglights. Also cut most of the front of the airbox off for more intake sound, but it was way too loud so I ended up changing it back. I also...

Any chance on a run of diesel club stickers? I'd be after an internal one if so!

Oh and another oddity about the rusty $20 diesel, if any diesel nuts are reading. The pump on it has two springs, the normal one and one which gives more resistance at more throttle input. I've never...

I thought it looked like a Mk2 Escort lol.

I like it though, I call it a "deluxe grille"

Nice screenshots Xander ;)

Also what're people's opinions on the grille? I made it using some bent chrome grille surround I had laying around

Thanks man! I'm glad too haha. Yeah I'm all about "day 1" mods and appearance. As in, how it would've looked if I modified it when it was still new with period correct things and appearance

Thanks mate :)

The story doesn't end there, once the rego runs out it will finally be treated to some love. I'm taking the body to my friends house who will sort out the rust and bodywork, and...

Oh dude thats heartbreaking :'( so sorry to hear

Looking good dude ;)

This is bloody cool man, I want to rag top mine :)

Oh and I found out because Bam is a 9/80 car, it makes it one of the last Mk1s sold in the country. Pretty cool imo

I love white VR6s

Holy thread revival

No I didn't drop off the face of the earth! I'm here to have a quick update, hopefully I'll be posting here more often.

Anyway the last post left off with me getting new...

If my Mk3 VR6 sells this week I'll jump on this! Very very interested mate, I live and breathe Mk1 diesels and have wanted a turbo diesel for so long, so even being a Mk2 this is perfect

UUUUUUUPDATE


So, it's been a while since my last update. Not much has really happened with my Golf, just been driving it and enjoying the tidy stockness.

Until yesterday.
...

GTD or not I'm still super jealous of your turbo Alek ;)

You'll find the second half of the tank gets used quicker, 3.7 is a bit low even for our diesels, 1.6TD is around 4.5 if driven with a...
