you could, but then you'd be driving a jetta. :-) > 2.is the 16v a reliable engine yes. just as reliable as the 8v engine. theyre basically the same things, except the head has twice as much stuff. > 3.is 3000 dollars to little to have when looking for these types of cars > should i just go for an 8v. go for an early 16v car. an 87 gti will probably run you ~1500-2000. dont go 8v. you'll be dissapointed every time you get in a well cared for 16v. ive never been in any 8v as fast as either of my 16v gti's. (87 and 92) ...except mabey a few corrados, but my 87 would hold its own with them. never raced one in my 92... > 4.when did volkswagon start installing the 16v in there cars any good years > to look for any years to stay away from there arent really any "bad" years. the engine started in late 86 with the sciroccos, and mabey even a few gti's. then 87 for most of the gti's. dunno about the jettas. > 5.how much more money am i going to spend modding the 16v as opposed to the > 8v i know the cams are 700$ instead of the 175$ i spent on my old jetta is > this tru with all other parts only parts for the head cost more. and only because you have to get twice as much. other than that, all the bolt on goodies are virtually identical. > 6.is installing nitros a good option i know its a quick 75hp but is it a > reliable 75 hp depends on how you do it. > 7.any good 16v gti/gli websites the one at the bottom of every post. > 8.anyone on the list selling a 16v gti/gli ? ive got an 87 with not too many parts on it. (like the engine, doors, ect.) you can HAVE it. ben randolph 92 16v gti _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
