sick ride dude. i've been looking all over on craigslist around my parts and when i find one im gonna pick up a mk2 gti or golf and rebuilt it to be a show/drift car. yours is clean tho. verynice

Hombre3000 (Dec 29, 2009 at 12:23)

Thanks. It's not a GTI (even though it does have GTI wheels) but it's fun and very clean. I got lucky with this one.

How are you going to turn a front wheel drive car into a drift car?

mooseman180 (Dec 29, 2009 at 13:31)

is it a rabbit than?

and you can still drift a front wheel drive car...or well powerslide.
but id be more of a rally drifting car. and i would eventually plan to just to a different transmisson and a new transfercase and a rear axel swap. do a little bit of body molding under nether and it wouldn't be that hard.

Hombre3000 (Dec 29, 2009 at 13:49)

It's a Golf.

mooseman180 (Dec 29, 2009 at 14:35)

really? only a two door golf? sweet deal dude.
if its the 16 valve it has some speed potential.

Hombre3000 (Dec 29, 2009 at 15:03)

I'm pretty sure it's just 8V.

mooseman180 (Dec 29, 2009 at 15:04)

ah well still fun!

Nice car

Didn't think your car would be this small tho haha I always thought you'd have a pick up truck or something

...My own car is even smaller hehe

Hombre3000 (Dec 30, 2009 at 16:21)

Thanks. It's a great size for me. I was thinking of buying a VW Rabbit pickup but this was in better shape.

First car? Nice buy!
You will miss 5 doors though, if you're taking mates anywhere!

Hombre3000 (Dec 29, 2009 at 8:45)

Thanks. I probably won't be driving people that much, but you might be right.

crazygeorge (Dec 29, 2009 at 8:49)

What? My main function as a driver is to give people lifts....

cjf1972 (Dec 29, 2009 at 12:04)

That is a nice ride. I would proudly drive that thing around. I bet that would look killer with a roof rack full of bikes.

Hombre3000 (Dec 29, 2009 at 12:24)

Hell yeah!

looks mint, but do cars really rust down there or what?

Hombre3000 (Dec 29, 2009 at 8:44)

No, cars never rust here.

jonslater (Dec 29, 2009 at 10:16)

must be nice haha

Such a sick car, great snag rogue. How much did it set you back?

Hombre3000 (Dec 29, 2009 at 12:23)

Under $1000. It does need some work but it drives pretty well and burns rubber on dry ground.

Love it!

Hombre3000 (Dec 29, 2009 at 12:24)

Thanks.

gibson19 (Dec 29, 2009 at 14:23)

8 valve or 16 valve??

Hombre3000 (Dec 29, 2009 at 15:03)

Pretty sure it's just 8V.

gibson19 (Dec 29, 2009 at 15:47)

Still a solid engine...
