Featured Replies

hey guys, to cut a long story short, i bought this intending to use it as a daily after selling my S13, but i want another one again.. so I'm going to sell it on already haha!


Make : Volkswagen
Model : MK2 Jetta 1.6 tx
Engine size/type : 1.8 16v KR engine
Gearbox type : 5 speed manual
Colour : Red (apparently a rare colour?)
Mileage : 133,000
Tax : dont matter now due to the new law, currently taxed though
MOT : 10 months
Modifications :

  • 1.8 16v conversion
  • new stainless 4-2-1 manifold with lambda boss welded in for wideband sensor
  • brand new stainless exhaust (made by EMP performance) with 2 boxes, sounds lovely
  • ZX9 bike carbs, i have refurbed, jetted and balanced them
  • aluminium inlet manifold with brake servo take-off and vaccum nipples for balancing
  • 1 month old clutch
  • new coil, dizzy cap / rotor arm / plugs a month ago
  • CBR600 motorbike fuel pump
  • alloy strut brace
  • porsche silver rose wheels 16x8/9 with good tyres
  • coilovers (fairly new)
  • G60 front brakes with braided hoses
  • chassis notch
  • arch lips cut out for clearance

Good points:

  • body is very clean
  • uncommon colour
  • runs fairly well and is nippy
  • new clutch
  • brakes are very good
  • long mot
  • central locking!
  • interior is in good order
  • rear seats have armrest / cupholders!

Bad points:

  • speedo not working (needs new cable as old one has broken)
  • tracking/alignment needs doing
  • heater matrix needs replacing, coolant pipes connected together atm
  • rear engine mount ideally needs replacing as has excess movement causing exhaust to rub (nothing major)
  • steering column surround top half missing
  • horn has stopped working properly
  • potential sump leak?
  • steering is quite heavy, aswell as gaitor needing replacing.

when i bought the car 2 months ago, it was an absolute dog. the engine was terrible and it drove terrible, i have since put alot of time and especially money into it to get it to a reliable stage where it runs nice and looks tidy. essentially it looks the same other than exhaust and being lower, but underneath alot has been done.
as said, only selling as i want another 200sx.

car now owes me about £2100 but willing to make a loss to shift it.

looking for £1800 ovno.

id prefer to be PM'd, but feel free to text me on 07964 seven two five 487 with any questions.....
located in watford, west london

thanks, eric
