16 Valve GTI
Where would be the best place to look for an early 90's/late 80's 16
valve GTI. My bro had one when I was real young and I loved that thing. I'm willing to pay good money for a close to original in good shape but have no clue where to start. |

Might also find some on http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds...look in the watercooled group there. |

I think the main issues with it were nonfunctional A/C and a sloppy shifter. I would have bought it back but I need it like I need a hole in my head. Had a *lot* of new parts on it when I sold it to her 5 yrs. ago too. Might also want to try the Vortex; I don't really follow it so I don't know if it's been taken over by the "tuners" or not but it used to be a good place to find stuff like that. nate |
