Hi i'm a newbie, I'm really into my cars, mainly retro and veedubs! I do all the mechanical work to my cars myself.
Hope you like, i'm only 22 so my cars arent exactly supercars!
This is my 89 GTI 16v, iv owned the car nearly 3years and originally swapped it with a friend for a pushbike as the bottom end had let go! its been fully rebuilt mechanically with uprated rods pistons etc(allowing the screamy 16v to rev effortlessly), fitted with s/s 4branch, full system,induction kit coilovers, currently getting stripped for paint, and while the engines out it'l be getting a 2.0 bottom end,and carbs bolted on! This car is my toy and i find it loads of fun to upset supposedly quicker newer cars in it!
This is my fairly standard 1989 318i which has recently had a ful respray,new wings and a top end rebuild, may have to sell soon though to fund my golf!
This was my pulsar which recently blew a piston and has just been sold, was dyno'd at 317bhp

The pulsar was a totally differant animal to the golf, with it being a 4wd turbo'd mad thing! Went fantastic and stuck to the road no matter what, it upset a few scooby boys around where i live too! Build quality was iffy with the pulsar as was reliability(but in a turbo'd car with cheese pistons its bound to give up when it starts getting boost increased etc). The golf is quick, not as quick as the rice burner was but i'm building a fresh 2.0 twin40 powered motor for my golf! The red golf is my friends 1.6 driver which he's after selling!
. Wow would have loved a ride in the pulsar... my mate recently swapped his 318is which was a mint car for a H Plate Nissan Pulsar, it last dyno'd 289bhp (not sure how much boost) like you said mate its an Animal, we raced a my mates E36 M3 from Limehouse to Blackwall, the pulsar anialated the e36!! Car had tonnes of grip & I think at one point when it backfired it errm smoked a pigeon! :P
Good luck on the Vdeeb!!! Hope it goes well!
