Don't see why not.. Older golfs are pretty cool.. Find out if the 1.8T stuff transfers over somehow

ABA 16v hybrid FTW. I have been planing on making one of those for a while now, but I have two too many projects right now. I'm poor :'(

I'm not sure which Cosworth that is that you are referring to, but I love those cars in general...Is it an AWD version?? You say you want to HMT it so I assume it isn't factory turbocharged...I know alot of them are...

I thought all GTI's were turbo models. :l I don't think I could ever own one of those fuckers. Everything on them is so different than anything I've ever worked on. I swear they just changed ---- all over the place just to be different. Let's not use regular door locks, let's make them vacuum powered and let's not control the throttle with a cable, let's do it with a wire. Who needs room in the engine bay anyways? :1 Also, what's the deal with compact cars being light? Let's make them super heavy so our underpowered motors can struggle to move these pigs. :P

I'm sure they have their reasons, but jesus.....keep it simple, stupid. :P
