Full Story...

I would kill to get my hands on this Parati

I'm sooooooo proud...

This is the first time I've ever heard of one. What's the Parati GTI look like? I wish they had brought this to the US market even if there was no market. I love the Recaro seats, the gauges, the shifter, the outside body style, and of course the "pearl" color. Is it just me, or does that 2.0L engine look completely than the ones in the US market MKIII's? I would love to see a VR6 model one, did they even make one stock?

Congrats on your posession.

Ever get those really hot farts that take a second to figure out if you sharted or not?

2-door PARATI GTI 2.0 16V (MKII) = 144hp

Wow, that 4 door is sweet too. The 2 door GTI MKII didn't come in for me.

I normally am just satisfied to lurk and drool but your car requires a reply. It’s fantastic! Seeing the engine layout makes me think it’s rear wheel drive too! Is it? At any rate, nice car!

I'm glad/proud you liked it!

It's FWD, btw.

alcohol burning 8v with 12.5 compression ratio...WOW

Anywayz... Why is there a difference in power from the 2 door and 4 door models? Is it alcohol vs.gas engines? I knew the german 2.0 16 V
engine has 144 HP but that 155 HP engine I hadnt heard of...

Anyone know if this will bolt onto a MK3?

Vortex Transaction History

Gents, in Brazil VW makes everything from cars to cement trucks. The tuning scene there is HUGE.

I used to travel to Brasil 2x a year on business and got to experience it first hand. Saw many modded A3s, A4s, Golfs, Gols, Foxes, Saveiros and others. The Saveiro is a VW pickup car. Yes pickup car, el camino type. It looks pretty wicked modified with a 1.8T. Here's a few Brazilian links. You'll find quite a few rice-ish looking VWs but every now and then you'll see a well sorted dub.

Check out this site to see a well known Brazilian tuner Shutt...Check out the the Galeria > Auto Sport 2005 and Feisa 2005 http://www.shutt.com.br/new_re...x.php Specifically, check-out Shutt's custom, red, cab Fox. This car doesn't come in a cab. They made it. You can't miss it. There's also a yellow Saveiro for those of you who have never seen one. This particular one is a little rice-ish with the big azz aluminum wing on the back.

Great site, uh?!

Don't tell anyone, but...it's mine.

It's still an uber sweet car that I wish we had in North America!

Remember it is a '97 model. MKIV came after that, don't?!
