Hi Guys,
New to the forum, introduced by a mate at work.
I am a new MPS convert; looking at Gti and R32s i just cant justify the dollars. To be honest I've owned a few nice cars before but nothing hug on the MPS; Clio 172, Clio 182 Cup, Ba Mk2 Xr6.
I currently drive a Golf TDI MkV and its gotta go. Too Slow, i dont feel comfortable sleeping at night not contributing to Global warming burning lots of 98 octane unleaded. Its just not cricket.
So i need an MPS. I want to spend around $20k hoping for something 50-90ks i will probably sink around $3k into mods after i have had it stock for a little while, unsure if its a good idea to buy someone else modded pride and joy. I just read a newbie thread about their Mazda 6 blowing up. OMG. Thats shocking.
Bit like my 172 Clio, pretty much destroyed everything to the left of the engine; bearings, shaft, Hub, Rotor FML.
Anywho to some it up guys, a little buying advice, entry level modding and what to expect quarter mile would me much appreciated.
Also is it worth spending more and getting the newer series one? $30k? Im thinking 06 model with money sunk into mods on a low km car is a better idea...
I've read through a number of threads.
Cheers
Mark.
