Tornado Red Mk2 Golf GTI on Bike Carbs

Featured Replies

Hey guy's,

Not really wanting to do this but i desperately need to free up some cash by getting something cheaper to run before my insurance is up on the 18th

Not had it long so still waiting on V5

Originally a 1.8 8v

Mot and Tax until April

Converted to 1.8 16v KR (unfortunately i don't know the mileage, but it runs quietly and uses no oil or water. Cam belt is recent and headgasket was done)

ZX7 Bike Carbs set up at Bogg Brothers

JOM coilies, very comfortable ride even when low low

Polished Ronal Turbos with v.good tyres, minor kerbing

Super spring Back box with standard system

GTI Rear Lights

Original 4-lamp fromt grill

Full Body Trims

Interior is mint and original with only a tear to the drivers bolster

Bad Bits.

Idle sticks around 2k occasionally after being driven, you just have to plip the throttle to bring it back down.

Rust on the N/S rear arch, only surface mind you.

Could do with a good polish on the roof (will obv get this done)

That's about it. I went from my stoopid low corrado to this as i wanted something driveable and this really is. It pulls better than a standard KR and sounds abosultely savage. The induction noise is so addictive.

It obv kanes fuel if you take it for a spirited drive but normal driving it returns the same mpg as my kr rado did :)

I'm located near Birmingham and would like about £1400 O.N.O

Preferably swaps for something smaller engined and of course low :)
