I'm starting a new project. I was able to find a MK3 GTI VR6 with 58k miles on it. What do you know about them? Thanks!

And it got sold..... Even after I told the guy that I would be there on Saturday. He obviously didn't follow Craigslist etiquette.
I've gotten that way with Craigslist too but I'll hold stuff for people on here or the bike forums I'm on. With Craigslist I just try to get there quickly with cash if I really want it.BQ2001 said:
I've sold many things on Craigslist. My etiquette is first one with cash in my hand wins. Way too many people saying they want something and then flake

Rob, I've seen some MK5s as well, but I've read about the problems with the FSI engines. Would you rather have the 1.8T or the FSI? I've found a nice 337 GTI in Houston as well. They are asking for $6000, but that's way too much. Found a GLI in SA for $5400 and that would be an improvement over my old MK4.
Fueling is easy with the 1.8t. FSI and especially TSI suffer from a lack of big injector and other fueling needs without a metric sh/t ton of money. Tuning is also more prevalent for the 1.8t as are all of the internal parts to make it stronger.Flaith said:
what is it about the 1.8T that makes it such a big power candidate over the FSI or TSI
OP, I have a APR Stage 2+ MKV GLI, and I love it. I'm currently having a hard time convincing myself that I don't need a Frankenturbo and custom tune.
Yes, but this is my DD that I use to commute often from Houston to Louisiana for work. The appeal of the FT is that it is a bolt-up-and-go. No need to swap in bigger injectors or other parts.BigRobSA said:Fueling is easy with the 1.8t.

As for the FT...DO EET! Although I'd go with a better big turbo, to be honest. FT has gotten better, as a whole, but they're not in the same league as Garret, BWt and others. Hell, I have a twin scroll BW 7670 I was going to use on the built 1.8t I was building and it's just collecting dust. Also have 2000 CC injectors.

I think I have found my car. I didn't know my mechanic was selling his 2003 20th Anniversary Jazz Blue GTI. He bought it as a mechanic special from some guy who didn't take care of it and has done all the engine work himself. Hopefully, this one works out.
