Noob, don't hate.......

Ok here it goes….I am a Yank, stationed in Germany with an 83 Pirelli GTI, I am not sure how I will be received here as a member, but I have a lot of questions and much love for the MK1…..

Cheers,
Matt Hicklin

Why would we hate you Matt, you're hear and new members keep the club going  8)

Cracking looking MK1, love the simply look and those alloys are the business.

Ask away anything you need to know, check out the technical archives too, plenty of stuff already answered

Enjoy your stay

Andy :wink:

Steady on mate, no antiseptics on here that I know of. Welcome along.

Welcome & more pic of the car please.

hello welcome , good to have another member. car looks good as saiid like the wheels.
 i'd think you were in a good position for getting yourself parts, germany, banging on wolfsburg parts door and home in america for your trick bits like pop out quaters ect…

thanks guys, that's cool. Current set up it a 2.0 2e with 40 DCOE's, 13x8 ATS classics, FK coilovers.  

I just bought a 2.0 16v 9a with tranny for 500.  kind of rebuilt.  Looking to throw a header, manifold for 2 weber 45 DCOE's, and exhaust on it.  Looking for some references.  Any body running this or a similar set up?

thats a nice car.  looks great
I have dual 45s on my 16v.   I can try to help ya some.

Hey, thanks.  I actually bought the motor from a guy here in Germany (another soldier) who is from PA.  His name is Geoff Walsh, guess he has been around the VW scene for a while in PA.  Not sure if you know of hime or not, anywho.  Any info would help.  What engine code do you have? More questions to follow.  Thanks.

Hey Hick
Nice car
We're also stationed in Germany (British tho!) Are you planning on going to any of the German Dub shows this year?  There's a good Old-timer show in Essen.

welcome aboard mate

thats looks tasty….

thanks, I will probably hit up Worthersee and German Race Wars for entertainment.  Other than that, not sure yet.  I am pretty much gone most of the time, so we will see.  I just want to get my 16v installed.  Wish me luck
