The time has come to move on....

Well guys after 6 years of owning a tdi, I am finally wihtout a diesel. I am going to miss all the informative reading, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with my new car. I ended up getting a 1991 Golf GTD from germany. It is a 5 speed, syncro, G60, with only 40Kmiles on it . Its crazy, it has light levelers, heated seats, ABS, etc, THE WORKS. I plan to turbo charge it and make a 250+whp syncro car in the near future. I loved the site and all the info. I'll def be back around just to read up and jump into thread like the "Cock of the Walk" thread . I find it hard to follow tdiclub, and read up on my turbo parts and the new car at the same time. I guess its time to learn another car inside and out. We need a section for tdi converts and their other projects!

It's too bad you had to part with your TDI but your new car sounds cool!

Is it a G60 then? Wouldn't that make it a GTI or something because a GTD was a diesel.

Golf Ralley? I've only ever seen one of them in Halifax once. The bucket seats could swallow Rita MacNeil without a second thought.

Time to renew your VORTEX login

Sorry to see you go! But keep up the fun work on your new project! And remember when the new diesels come out in a few years we will most likely claim you again.


Happy motoring!

I am sure if it was a Ralleye he would have mentioned it

Sounds like a Golf GT, definitely not from this side of the pond

TDIClub has no formal charter or rules. There is no requirement to own any car, let alone a VW TDI. Please, continue to hang around. We don't mind.

I'll look for you at Waterfest next year. Enjoy the new ride.

Sweet, you upgraded! Hopefully i'll see you lurking and posting around the vortex FI and syncro forums =). I do stop by the mk2 forums every once and awhile, but you'll normally find me in the mk1 forums!

Vortex is awesome if you don't hang around the mk4 forums. They have a cool "community" section and the car lounge links too!

That sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime........ Synchro mmmmmmm

Have fun and post pics!

I think you mean you acquired a Golf G60 Limited, not a GTD. Try to fish a back issue of VW&Porsche/European Car magazine from back in the time for an article about it.

Congrats on the find... and even bigger congrats on successfully importing it into the US.

That car would be a perfect candidate to be turbocharged

 

[drkblujetta]

TDI SWAP!!!! then you would atleast get traction!

Its not a limited, because those were 16V heads and came with 200+hp from the factory. It is badged as a GTD, I even have all the factory paperwork in German! The GTD cam in 4 or 5 different engines, I've done a lto of research on the european models to make sure its legit, and it is. Its basically a stock G60, synchro at this time. Its awesome though. Working heated seats, fog light levelers, nice H4 lights, power moonroof, locks and wondows. I can't believe how many options you get with the cars in europe, we are def deprived on this side of the pond.

Picks and updates def to come!

T3/T4 hybrod with a crossflow head on the way

 

[Justler]

awesome, did you bring it in as parts, or are you going through the whole localization deal?

 

[Doc_Oc]

How much did you pay for it? How did you find it?

 

[clove911]

I traded my TDI, and got a lot of cash in the deal. He valued his car at 12K but I talked him down. The guy found me when I posted my car for sale on vortex. He lived in Canada, so it was already here in NA, but I just had to bring it into the US. Wasn't that hard at all
