Looking to get some mods going soon looking at getting a full 3" exhuast milteks don't really interest me . Fancy something custom maybe a power flow

Also looking into a intake, been looking at ITGS or the Revo. Will have to do some research...

Other than that needs a detail paint is swirly!! Anyone know a good detailer in the Telford area?

22 with a GTI is an achievement mate, think I had a clapped out mk2 1.3 CL at that point.

Great stuff

Welcome mate,

Nice car, wish i had one when i was 22 :)

For rubber check out:

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2
Michelin Pilot Sport 3

Loads of info on the forum about tyres, these two seem to get the best feedback.

Had an exciting evening...

Started polishing my exhuast tip. Little things but makes it look heaps better only had up to 6000 micro mesh. ( pinched from the engine blenders) need to get the 8000 and 12000 stuff off them too..

Results



Also after some wheel wobble at about..144kph (you do the math)

I had the wheels balanced and a free alignment check which showed up all good. Wobbles all gone now.. Winner!

[Tim144]

Had kinda of forgotten about these wheels bought them
To go on the Ibiza but never went on..

7.5j x 17 BBS RC042


Anyone ran them before on a mk5?... Might part with them for some 18s ;)

[Tim144]

Been for an explore after cleaning the car. Need a decent camera to get some decent pictures.





Been looking at polybush kits for the car would you recommend getting a walk at the same time or does it not matter.

Got a load of Leds ordered for the car will get pics when fitted

Cleaned the car today didn't realise how bad it was.. Paint still not smooth going to clay it soon ,has cone up okay for now.

Always room for improvement though..

Went round camp to find some decent light for a photo... Found this ;)








Could have done with a better camera not my phone though :(

Nice Jag. 

Your BBS from the Ibiza will probably be the wrong PCD for the Golf.

Cheers man work on them everyday.. Well I say work 

And yer they are 5x120 et41 would need 20mm adapters would bring them down to
Et21 which would sit nice!

I want 18"s though but more important things first!
