Hey, that's a really nice golf you have there, I love the styling, sup-er clean too. Put up more pictures! Mine is nearly finished, here is a picture of it fresh out of the spray booth:

Will post more pictures when it's finished.
What have you done in terms of tuning and has it made any noticeable differences?
-
I bought the AHU engine from you, i'm afraid my GTD is no more and the head off that engine is in my current mk3.
-
Hey, "MK2 GTD", very beautiful Golf, man! :)
Put up more photos of it.
Here's mine:

Aidan,
Sorry to hear your GTD is no more, pity as they seem to attract a lot of attention, i took mine back home for the weekend and the ammount of people who asked me if it was a conversion was unreal...... rare beasts.
-
Thanks for the kind comments guys :D
Like your GTD HP, could do with lowering a bit though :)
Will try and get a few pictures of the car on the site over the weekend, after i had cleaned it today a flock of starlings flew over it and S**t all over the roof and bonnet..... sods law......lol.
Will take a few of the exterior and some of the brake conversion i have carried out, the suspension and a few goodies that i still have to fit to it.
Here is a few photos of the "rare interior" if any one has seen or got this fitted, please let me know as i havnt seen it in any other Mk2 golf's

(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/mrdubstyle/GTDengine.jpg)
Mines having a full makeover soon along with a fully body respray in original Montana Green and a few subtle mods! I'm modifying it for me and I dont give a stuff what anyone thinks! Pics will follw as/when things get done!

Hey MK2 GTD, That backbox looks brilliant. I'm currently fitting a twin tailpipe to mine, however it sags at the back and isn't straight, how did you get that to sit so perfectly snug? Also where did you get the turbo and diesel rear badge?
Here is an average camera phone picture of mine, nearly finished, will get better pictures when it is.

Nice car mate...... :D the rear badges came on the car when i got it, the front like yours i got of ebay in the states.
Exhaust.... if you look at the rear hanger its held on by a lock nut, undo it, takt it off and turn the hanger 180 dergrrs, that way it will fit and not bang on the rear scuttle..... mind you i han to remove some of the scuttle as the twin pipe set up dosnt fit.

MontanaGTD
Got to admit, your car has been a bit of an inspiration for me, i have followed most of your posts in this site :)
Love the car and the colour is great....... was tempted by big bumpers as i have a set in the garage but after looking at loadsw of vw golf sites thought the small bumpers looked retro.

Nice smog!
@ MK2 GTD
The hanger on my backbox is *** I'm going to have to add another and change the rubbers! I'll have to trim the scuttle too. What mods have you done to your injection pump?
-
con
My injection pump..... most of the mods can be found on this web site we are on now, below is a link to some of the mods i have done...... was looking into getting a giles injection pump sent over to the UK , but it cost way too much and couldnt justify the expence.
I have just bought a low milage AAZ 1.9 tdi engine i am going to rebuild, i fix fire trucks for a living and work on Detroit Diesel / Caterpillar diesel engines in the fire trucks.. Hopefully get a decent cam in there, recon the head, with ceramic conbustion chambers and if possible sodium filled valves. The bottom end i am going to have the crank re-ground and balanced, fiT VW Transporter pistons as they are heavier duty, think there is a link somewhere on my pc, will try and find it later. The turbo will come off and the place we use for our trucks said they would " experiment" with it for me..... what ever that means...ha ha.

Thanks! I've been slowly tweaking it since I bought it! I love the relaxed 75mph cruising daily, but now with a few mild tweaks I have extra poke for overtakes on the scottish A-roads! I'm going for a full rebuild/respray next year, but next time i'm going either Full 90 spec/G60 bodykit with new big bumpers front and rear OR fully de-arched and small bumpers along with an american spec front bumper (no plate mount) and a HUGE front mount intercooler. Either way its going to be VERY low on coilovers and 8x13 ATS Classics!
-
Here's afew of mine...
Hopefully getting the engine all sorted and do as many mods as possilbe, and then taking it out and putting it in a 3dr GTI shell which i'll make look nice :lol:
Seems a shame to ruin a good looking and performing car already though =/
Going to do Govnor mod soon, getting pump rebuilt so.
Also got a Stainless Straight through exhasut on it
1.9 Head gasket soon
boost gauage soon
so pics..

I can see by this topic that the europeans are more keen to show their machines.
What about our north american fellows here??! :P

My mother in law's GTD... She's 82 on the 29 August!...
AFAIK the oldest GTD driver in the world :shock:
I turned down the power for the MOT and I didn't tell her :roll:
She couldn't do her fast junction exits and was going to give the car to me... :twisted: But I confessed :mrgreen:

hey demons UK, saw your car over on performanceVW forum, looking good, read that it got caught in a flood?!
I'm not sure if I agree about ou reshelling it, that shell you have now looks spot on!
@ Mark, turn down the power again and don't confess this time 8)
-
Hey con,
Yeh, it didn't actually touch any flood water lol :D
I drove to town with some mates and went to the pub, afew hours passed and when we went to leave town all the exit routes were flooded so i had to park the car up and walk home :D through waist deep flood waters.
I really don't like 5 doors cars!
Might be a better idea to source a GTD engine and put the into a diff car, and sell my car complete?
I'll put the link to PVW, alot of pics in there;

Mark, your from Glos? I'm from Northway really close to Tewkesbury just up the 38, small world eh? :D Nice car to.
One more pic, how it looks at this very second.

Hi Everyone, here's a few pics of my van with a gtd transplant, i've got the same red green interior as you MK2 GTD, nicest mk2 interior they made imho.

I wish they had sold the GTD in the USA, but they didn't...
