Jaffacakes Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Well... This is 150 miles away from where I live. Assuming the bank will be able to arrange a small loan in the next 5 days, I'll probebly get it. I've found an insurance price of £887, which is pretty nice.linkyIts got 1 months tax, 2 months MOT, Its done 170,000 miles but nearly 100,000 on the engine. Pretty high I know, but its only got to last me 6 months until I leave the country. It looks awesome though.Whatcha think?edit: Or insured on This for £1050. I cant see this selling for under £1200 to be honest thoughedit: Or this this. Looks awesome. Could probebly get him down to 700. Insurance is £1100 thoughand This litrally 10 miles away from me http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/c...icleRegLetter=H Edited March 25, 2009 by Jaffacakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) What ever happened to this!Mine. It needs ALOT of work, currently runs like an absolute sack of shite, my 8v polo is quicker and more responsive obv. havnt really driven it much since its un-insured etc. but overall feel is good, and I like it alot. I noticed a cam gasket leak. so whacked them off to inspect it etc. after failing to find a new gasket on friday. Gasket actually appeared to be ok, so i whacked it back on. We shall see if that was foolish...Anyway, pictures:Before:After:Still runs like shit though, Il try an oil, filters and general service overhaul over the next week, and sort out the bollocks brakes and buggered bulbs...

::CH!P:: Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Looks nice, those cage's scare me though does it not worry you having a large unsecured lump of aluminium sat just behind your head?Dude, it's so light it's unbelievable. It isnt exactly a lump lol. Plus, they arent exactly unsecured. But i understand what your saying. Dont roll it is the answer lol. I'll probably cchange it for a proper cage one day. Sorting the rest of the interior, suspension and a VTS lump is the priorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Haha, spose they are pretty light. Since flipping my golf they always scare me though, as it proved to me that even if you do drive sensibly you can still end up upside down with a caved in roof. But yeah, I get what you're saying, I just think they seems worse than no cage if anything. I guess I'm just not a fan of them. Car looks nice otherwise though mate.

Tom Booth Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I've always had abit of a thing for 205gti's, an at the minute I'm in a situation where I could purchase one. Anybody got any tips on where I'm looking for problem areas? I've read the backs of the sills, round the arch lip under the plastic and then make sure its had a cambelt swap not tooo long ago. Also anybody got a deecent guide price to be sticking too? I'm after a good example, non molested, 1600 gti. From what I've noticed I'm looking around the £1500 mark? For a well serviced, documented car...Any help and advice where and what to be looking for would be awesome, thanks in advance chaps!

Pashley26 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Don't spend any more than a grand on a 1.6 GTI. The money is in completely original models, make sure you get the best you can possibly afford and then some more ! Are you looking to modify/play with it or to just use as a smart retro daily ?

Prawny Baby Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 avoid TB!!!!! surely you need at least one reliable car?if you must, surely the 1.9 is the one to go for as well?either way, buy a mk2 golf instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 either way, buy a mk2 golf instead!Prawn speaks truth. Mk2 16V's are cheap as f**k at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 After driving a 205gti 1.9, i would definately recomend it if you are after some giggles. They are so much fun, and put a massive grin on your face apparently the 1.6 isnt much different to the 1.9 until higher speeds, so im guessing 60-70 onwards the 1.9 will shine over the 1.6.

Muel Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 My Dad has driven both, he always said he prefferred the 1.6, it didn't torque steer as much, the steering was lighter and you could give it more stick through the corners.

I've always fancied a 205 gti, and others I have spoken too have mentioned the 1.6 being a generaly easier car to be with everyday. I don't want something too thirsty either hence the smaller engine.My plans is to buy the best I can, and just make it a perfect example of a gti. No mods, maybe have the steering/geometry set up an thats it. Thats my plan anyway...Don't spend any more than a grand on a 1.6 GTI. The money is in completely original models, make sure you get the best you can possibly afford and then some more !Those key points, out weigh eachother. I'm wanting an origional untouched car, which means there the top end of the 205 price range. If I can find myself a reasonabley smart, well documented 205 for about £1300-£1500 I'll be happy.
