"...I liked the GTI so much when I got her that I've kept her running better than NEW..."
(My answer to anyone asking why I have replaced so
many parts; there wasn't anything wrong, I just wanted
to keep her as fresh as she was the day I got her.)

Fostgate 160.4 amp and Alpine 12 disc CD Changer are behind the box, professionally mounted on an isolated platform. The vehicle has a new, more powerful alternator and all wiring is professionally installed, providing isolated, filtered and clean power.

Other features:

* Darkest DOT legal chauffeur tinted glass available

  close-ratio 5th gear, new heavy duty racing Sachs clutch, new axles

  Alpine 12 disc changer, Pioneer Digital Sound Processor, Fostgate 160.4 amp

  doors), and GT Pro 6x9's (rear panel), and tuned box with dual JBL GT Pro 
  600 watt subwoofers) and Orion mids (doors) -  All this creates an EXCELLENT 
  audiophile system on wheels - not abused, I listen to classical and jazz, and 
  it's CLEAN.  Completely custom installation includes covered door panels for all
  door mounted speakers.  If I keep her, a newer Fostgate 400.4 will also go in... 
  more power!!  Installed professionally by Anthony's Auto Sound.

Personal Comments
The GTI is AWESOME.  I used it as my daily commuter 
until my recent acquisition of a moderately customized 
1990 Cabriolet (see right) which also has a superb 
Alpine V12/Kenwood biamped Alpine/Pioneer/JBL stereo 
system, as well as SEVERAL high-performance parts and
modifications [cam, airbox, injectors and suspension]. 
The GTI has superb, tight handling and fabulous fuel 
economy [approx 38 mpg]. It won't outrun a stock 16V 
without a modified G-grind cam and/or turbo (I didn't 
install them because I don't race her) .. BUT .. the 
Cabriolet can and has (it's REAL fast!).  

I have meticulously maintained the GTI over the
years, keeping it as new as possible by replacing 
parts with new parts over a stress-factored calculated
lifetime.  I'm the original owner from 1987; with all 
the new parts, it's practically a new car [sure runs 
like one].  Current DEC 99 registration, just passed 
California smog, tuned every 5000 miles, 20/50 oil 
change, transmission oil and lube every 3000 miles 
religiously.


Excellent condition overall although with high freeway mileage, mostly L.A. to Sacramento trips on 
Interstate 5.  Garaged year-round, the car has seen little rain (I use a 4x4 in bad weather), and 
has seen little snow.  Ice cold air-conditioning for those brutal Sacramento summers when I'm not 
in the convertible.  



Possibly available for sale, make me an offer and we can talk about it (we can 
discuss the rims and stereo).  I'm thinking about keeping her, so I'm in no real
hurry to let her go.  I have three other cars; one may have to go for garage space.
Original alloy rims/Pirelli P700 will go with it if I do sell it.
Email me if interested.
