go for it man, sweet little cars.

I have a few friends with them, from stocko's to GTI's to R32's.

but as with liners or any import. make sure to get one with low Km's to reduce the need to maintenance, as i would imagine its prob a bit more pricey on parts etc.

I had one and they're terribly boring. Axle tramped everywhere. 110 flywheel kw. Worst written up GTI VW ever made. Nice interior and well built. I do not remember my ownership experience fondly.

ye with 110kws they arn't going to be a rocket ship.

I really am just after something to go to work in that can be a bit of fun on weekends.

Brett, Nick, what do they steer like?

Surely better than the average Hyandai front driver?

Was fairly stiff, handled better then a Hyundai for sure. Don't go for to much more power tho, with the prices of better clutches being priced at the same price as a rocket launch, it's just not worth it

hahah...how about if I say disregard the fact you now drive a GT3...

Fair enough! I lived in the UK and spent 6 years driving Vauxhaul Cavliers / Vectras so I know my shit heaps too...I daily drive a Mazda6 which I love as it is an honest car and steers really well. I'd track one of those in preference to a gen iv golf GTI. I also remember now it had a terrible gear change. Avoid.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
