Wow man, I hope one day I will finish my Volkswagen golf tuning as well as it takes a lot of time and money. I have always been inspired by authors that are publishing a different kind of cars news and so one day I bought a Volkswagen golf gti in a decent condition and I want to make a good tuning to it. I see you did a pretty good job on the pictures and always was curious is it ok to drive such a low ground car and does it touch the ground when you ride it up the hills. Sorry if my questions sound a bit weird I am just new to tuning and after I bought my car for tuning I have a lot of questions before doing something and just want to learn from someone's mistakes.

I don't have any ground clearance issues.

Need to do another update on this.
Some things have since updated/changed... :grin:

So, as promised an update!
Not an awful lot has changed on the Golf.
I've taken it for some drives...
I also ended up getting the front poly carb windows in from ACW and chopped the door up :scared:
Also have added a catch can and blanked the PCV completely. Removed the Charcoal canister too! (Probably end up mounting the catch can where that was)
Cut the alternator bracket for all that weight saving :grin:
Had a friend of mine come down and finish the rear section of the exhaust, now a full 3" system, no cats, 1 silencer. It sounds perfect! those welds too :drool:
I've got rid of the Pro Race 1.2 8J set up and gone for a 18X9 Pro Race 1.2 set. I was told they're ET35 but I think they're lower than this, I'm yet to measure properly. It's safe to say, they're wide :jumping: I'm definitely going to have to look at getting the ABS Motorsport Golf S2000 arch kit.
The car is now going to sit at the back of the unit, again :sad1: I have a serve oil leak from the rocker cover I believe, I've tried 3 gaskets now and if anything it's just getting worse. I think that my cover has warped, so I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a Billet rocker cover from Bartek.
Engine will be coming out shortly to have the K04 fitted :evilgrin: clean the oil leak mess and generally have a tidy up in the engine bay. I may also bin off the DMF whilst I have the engine on the stand and fit a SMF, possibly buy a LSD too :ashamed:
Until next time :happy2:
