go nuts, its a great all around car. Factory Recaro seats, 15" BBS wheels, full VDO instruments, its a pretty rare car, came with a VERY VERY high potential motor, the elusive rare 2.0L 16V.

There is a chip that makes very nice gains.

they are out there...like I said, its a rare car, but you can still find some old fart bootin around in it on sundays.

Going rate is anywhere between 2-7k canadian depending on shape and milage.

Very underestimated car...although it does have a bit of a thirst for fuel...one of the reasons VW never brought back the 2.0L16V in 93.

Neuspeed makes a chip and there is a Q-Chip available as well.

run about 200 bones and gains are heavly dependant on mods.
