1991 Volkswagen GTI 16v review from North America
"Worth Modding"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has not have any problems yet.
I dumped $25,000 into mods at 60,000 kilometers and the car itself and the mods haven't had problems yet.
The tires get bald really quick due too the amounts of torque and tight turns I take on tracks.
The only reason I rebuilt the engine was because I was going too dump $15,000 in mods into it.
I replaced lots of parts on the car, so it won't let me down for a long time.
I rebuilt the engine with 5,000 dollars.
Modified the engine with $15,000.
The exterior and interior mods have about $4,000 into it.
General comments?
The car is really quick and sticks on the road like glue.
The Recaro seats are awesome and they are very sporty and supportive.
I used a Porsche 944 front mounter inter cooler and put on a KKK k26 turbo on it.
If you are going too make a track car, the '90-'92 GTis are a very good choice.
