Vw Or E30

[e30blitz]

We have VW's and BMW's here. Dad has been into aircooled cars for 30 years, and we have a '66 Bug "Cal-look" that is really quick, and also a '60 "sliding rag" Bug that is restored and really slow but cool. Dad loves his '73 2002tii too, and works on my e30 with me. We used to have a GTI VR6 and it was only around until the warranty was about to be up - lots and lots of problems.

That goes for a lot of newer German cars

They all come with there glitches

I'm looking for a good bodied Mk1 now. Had an 04 gti vr6 golf, I loved it and didn't give any problems really.

But yea, MK1 or nothing. I dont know if I like it better than my e30 because I've never driven an older golf.

A friend of mine had an MK3 golf, but once he started to find oil INSIDE the electrical wires- the time was up and he sold it and now is riding around in an ETA.

I have a '08 B7 A4 (AKA an expensive AWD Passat) and I hate it. 1qt oil for every 1,200mi.

Both mk1 and the e30 have there place on my drive
Both are solid cars

I sit on the fence on this one

back from the dead eh?

Gotta be BMW over VW for sure, although several years ago my answer would have been much different

I used to be a huge VW guy, had a bone stock mark 3 jetta i bought for my first car when i was 16, rebuilt the motor/trans, boosted it, lowered it, re-upolhstered the interior etc etc, learned alot of what i know about working on, fixing, and modifying cars.

I Used to hate BMWs for the stereotypes that surrounded the brand, was die hard for VWs and the quirkiness they brought, seemed to fit my personality better, or so i thought

this is when i lived in NY, and i always had winter/beater cars, so i never drove the jetta in the winter. Well it just so happened i picked up my old e30 as one of my beaters, which is what brought me to the dark side

i still have a soft spot for VW scene, although I just got back from a VW show in Vegas, cant say im happy in how the younger generation was behaving, a lot of high school-ish attitude, burnouts/revving/douche-ness at a relatively chill show ive been going to for several years. That crap is always there, just seemed a lot more prevalent this year, idn maybe im just getting old lol

the old jetta

wow five year thread bump

Yeah, I was initially going to get pissed, but the post, though dated, was relevant.

Mk1 GTi or nothing.

E30 hands down. For VW's MK1 or bust

[e30blitz]

Used to drive a mk2 16v
Brought that when it was 4 years old

Now these 2
The best of both worlds
All stock no mods at all

their old fuel ejection sucked some major balls though!

CIS was OK, simple to work with, pretty easy to tune, you just had to learn about it

CIS-E even easier to tune, had a knock box that would pull back the timing so you could give it 8 DEG (i think ) initial timing which really woke them up, you could also use a piggyback enrichment module.

CIS-E Motronic the next step in the CIS evolution same as above, but run at a higher pressure, had some limited diag abilities with a reader, chip tunable.

all the CIS systems were great for performance. CIS =constant injection system. porsche and volvo used the same system for ever even on their race cars

DIGIFANT was vw's attempt at making their own FI system, i worked ok for stock DD driving, sucked for performance driving/tuning. it was also pulsed injection
