My GTI. Brake upgrade.
« on: November 17, 2011, 10:18:21 pm »
Just eventuallly managed to join this forum, iv been trying for weeks to get the letter code when registering  :surprised: Looks like there are some very nice cars about on here  :happy2:

Here is my very small project thread that I had started in the summer....


After 8 months waiting on a new car I have eventually landed a replacement for my mk4:



I had wanted a mk5 as a replacement but for various reasons after going to view at least 8 golfs I had to wait until two weeks ago to get one. I had decided I wanted grey and I couldnt believe how hard it was to get one. This had appeared for sale in Norfolk and I decided to go for it. This is what I got after a 16 hour round trip  :mellow:



I got back from Portugal yesterday and spent all day cleaning and adding my very first small mods...





I bought scents as well  :rolleyes: a wheel whores freshener and this...



After my day polishing I went out with a friend and his golf for some picture whoring, he is a far better photographer than me!










The car has since had a stage 1 map but it has never actually worked, the p0299 code is present and no specialist has a clue why yet!

Cheers,

Stu.

Some nice pics there, and yes Norfolk is not the easiest place to get to, one of the only counties without motorways  :fighting:

Looks like you found a nice one. Some very nice pictures, particularly liking the foreground/background shots with the two cars.

Thanks for the comments  :happy2:

Im going to a specialist on wednesday about the map, if that goes to plan some springs are next on order to tidy things up again. After looking about some of the golfs on here I think R32/S3 brakes are also coming in the neat future!
