Hello mate, just been scanning the internet trying to find other mk2 jetta GT's! Ive got an atlas grey 1986 gt with an abf. I'm located in the far south east of kent where abouts are you? I had to sell it to my mate for a while and ended up buying it back off him but heres an advert he did so you can see it. www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=763693Do you know of any other gt's about? I just cant find any on the net! Anyway nice to see another guy with the same car on the same wavelength! I.E! both now 16valvers! Cheers, Scott.

Hey mate,
Really nice car that, looks super clean. I need to do a fair amount of body work to mine.
I'm located in dorset/southampton at the mo and havenr seen any other gts in the flesh ever, they seem like a rare beast.
How does the abf go? I'm still wondering if i sbould abf it instead of the 9a bottom end.
Mini update aswel:
Sorted headlights and rear door handles and just waiting on some ebay parts to fix the windscreen washers.

Yeah ive never seen any either. The only one I know of is a gt but its got GTI badges from the dealer as it was just about to finish production! Odd!
My paint isnt the best either!
I cant really say whether it goes well or not, nothing to go by really. It needs alot of tweaking at the mo, gear change is awful so I need to sort that. Ive just got a full stainles system and milltek downpipe. its running an 8v system at the mo so welllll restricted! Hopefully i will get a good gain there.
The whole front is mk3 with power steering, polybushes and a lower strut brace which feel really tight! Also 280mm brakes. Just got rear polybushes aswel. For some reason its feeling abit wobbly at the mo so ive got to get it on the ramp and find out why!

Cheers guys, i went on how many left and apparently there are only 11 gts in the country, so another 9 to be found.
I was going to go the mk3 route with mine but was concerned my eibach arbs wouldnt fit, so going to go the g60 route.
Sorting the exhaust should definately free things up for you, i think abfs put out 150bhp standard? I would also recomend getting a 4 branch (4-1) as they make a massive difference.
Update time:
Had my mot yesterday and she failed on a wheel bearing and hand brake, the mot guy figured the wheel bearing was just a loose hub so tightened that up and all seems to be sorted.
Now just gotta sort the hand brake out, probably a cable.
Dan.
