Oh yes I remember a big enough project going on up there by the dam!

I'm going to get stuck into reading your build thread later on! I'm sure I'll have a few questions after

There's quite a few Irish on here! There's a meet organised by one of the Irish forums, autostadt, on the first Tuesday of the month on Carrickmines. Does be quite a few MK5s at it

Isn't that in the Tesco in cellbridge with the big carpark?

I was leaving Leixlip the day I found out about the meets and now I miss the autostadt meets because I live in Galway midweek!

Let's make our own meets though no?

[AndyeireGTI]

It's in the tesco car park in maynooth luke! Yeah I don't mind having a mini meet.

[AndyeireGTI]

I must make my own thread on this soon! Here are my ispiri's fitted last night, still only the start of it all! Excuse the bad picture quality.

Welcome to the forum,nice set of alloys just needs lowering and the back valance colour coding

[AndyeireGTI]

Thanks! I've been looking at what set up to go for! Money isn't going to stretch very far due to being in and out of work. I want coilovers so I can change the ride height, any suggestions for a good budget coilover? I was looking at TA technix... Any advice would be great!

I personally think the black on red non colour coded look is much nicer!!

Those wheels look good!

Not coilovers but these are the springs I was considering. I think coilovers are overrated, the novelty of changing the ride height will wear off right after installation...  http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?a=i&p=53E10850140622&part=VW-Golf-Mk5-2-0-FSI-1-9-TDI-Eibach-Pro-Kit-Lowering-Springs

Things start to get a bit pricey!

Coilovers for the option I think. And for winter and NCT etc etc...

If I was going down the lines of springs I'd imagine the standard shock would be good enough?

They would absolutely yeah but given the age of your car I'd say your shocks (like mine) could do with replacement.

I took mine off a while back and it has seen better days.
