! Although I do find it funny that these Z4's have more squeaks and rattles than this 22 year old GTi greenson said:And its killing me!!!!
Summer is going to be a tough one deciding which car to use!...Z4 or MK2
I Had two of these, both 8 valves, in the early to mid 1990's. Served me well during my years at Uni and in my opinion the mk2 Gti is the best VW produced. Having said that, given the choice I would take the Zed over the Golf every time

Very nice! I had planned putting a BAM 225bhp TT engine in this, but I decided I wanted to keep it original
greenson said:Carefully :lol:gannet said:how do you manage speed bumps
Just what I was thinking. Manhole covers would also be a challenge.
Man when I had my scirocco I drove it all year round! Leave the zed in the garage, get the dub out!
Stunning greenson, looks really tidy, makes me miss my 16v all the more 
I'll finish it one day!
I had mine wound down a similar amount to yours for a while but whilst it looked amazing (and wasn't anything like as low as some go) it was bloody awful to drive, i actually found I drove like a grandma most of the time as I couldn't bear the feeling i was destroying the car. Saying that, I'm running weitec adjustables and they are fkkin terrible for comfort even at near standard height :lol: what coil overs are you using?
As for the banger comments :lol: , these old mk2's could teach these flashy Z's a thing or two about steering feel , especially you non M types :wink: in fact, I actually enjoy driving mine just as much as the Z and if my golf wasn't in a million pieces, I'd genuinely have a hard time deciding between which to take on a thrash!
Anyway, I think more pics are required

Now that is a lovely car.
I test drove an 8v mk2 small bumper version when I was buying my first proper car. It was between that and a 205 GTi and I ended up going for the 205. No regrets as it's still my favourite car owned.
I followed that with a mk3 16v Golf which I have to say was pretty dull after the 205. I do however still have an itch for a MK2 or a cabriolet as a weekender, I've actually just started looking the last couple of weeks although I'm also a little tempted by a VR6. The memory of my mk3 does put me off that idea a little.
