Here's my precious Mk3 GTI from all the years ago when I still had a car. Not sure if I even have a pic of the Mk1 GTI I had before that.



This was tuned quite a bit from its stock form but on the outside only mildly as I hate all the teeny bodykits and huge spoilers that make the car look like something the Top Gear lads could come up with at their best.

A new paint-job, lowering springs, better brakes, sunroof and clear side markers and half clear/half red rear lights. Gave the engine a proper overhaul, ending up changing probably half the engine with high(er) quality parts. Also considered of getting a proper turbo for it but never had the time to actually get into the task. I remember the audio setup, engine project and everything else costing "enough" already.

After all that the fuel economy actually improved considerably from the original figures, even when I got more power than I had when I bought the car.
