With gti's being so cheap these days (and surely they're never going to depreciate either, this is the bottom rung!) I'm seriously considering one. I can still get 1800 quid or so for my n16, more with a bit of luck, and I can't imagine a gti's running costs are any more - mpg, tax, service...

...shouldn't be allowed on the road! Twice today I had an old guy run into the back of me at traffic lights. Went out to buy a hard disk, old guy slipped off the clutch I assume, bit of a scuff and impression of his fog light in my bumper. A bodyshop would probably charge £200 to fix it so I let...

I finish uni in the summer (touch wood) and me and a couple of mates are planning on buying a cheap (about a grand) car each, get it track ready, and see how far we can get into Europe and beyond without a major incident, taking in every great road and track we can. I'm thinking an n15gti would...

I reckon this would be around a 40mm drop. The alloys are rota grids, identical size to the oem alloys (so 15¨?, i've never checked), I would consider an inch bigger though. I quite like it myself but it does seem to emphasise the 'chubbyness' of the n16. Opinions please! yes i'm shit with...

She's looking a bit rough at the moment, it's been too cold to wash it for a weeks now! Some bastard keyed right down the left side too, so I'm a bit pissed off too, but on the plus side I successfully used a digital camera and got the photos onto a computer. Whether they'll actually show up...

With christmas fast approaching and my bank balance falling quickly from the lack of a job and student excess, I think I should spend my money. Firstly I'm gonna join the aoc proper, been driving 'vera's since I was 17 after all! Next I dunno... Should I finish off my music install (sub and...

Anyone got bigger disks/calipers/pads etc... fitted? Braking from 90 on the motorway the other day really showed me how knackered they really are, no power (not that they were ever any good), loads of vibration... I was gonna get some uprated pads when I changed them anyways, but if the disks...

Anyone know where I might find one cheap other than the usual scrap-yard/ebay locations? I'd like to mount a smallish sub but don't really want to ruin my one!

Hey all, I may just have to pay my membership soon so I can post on the right forums, but... I've just got my blaupunkt casablanca mp56 with a 40gb hard disk ordered worryingly cheap off a guy who knows a guy who knows..... No money exchanged yet, but hopefully it'll be here in a few days. I...

Hey hey, my cd facia finally bloody arrived today, and I was just having a look at the old one with the tape deck n all that. I dont want to damage it - i might put it back on when I sell the car, so how do I get it off? I tried (pretty half arsed try to be fair) to get it off, but mucking...

Anyone had a problem with this? When you come off the throttle, and then try to push it again its stuck and needs a little stamp. Just a bit annoying, any idea how to sort it?

I read that the PCD (?) for the n16 vera is 4x114 - im checking out some rota's, great looking wheels im sure you'll agree...

Hi guys and gals, just got my almera 1.8 sport 5 door xreg on monday, figured I'd come and say hi.I've had 2 previous almeras (1.4gx and 1.4si) over the last 4 years, and i've somehow ended up with another! But a great wee car, we bit of go, crap brakes, but hey! I've been searching frantically...
