Hi guys n gals!

Im adam, kinda new to the whole euro thing, n honestly, wont go back to anything else

Picked up a 1999 Volkswagen Golf GTI a couple months ago for a measly $3750!!
Couple Mods since i've bought it

2.5" Exhaust
Boost T running 14psi. Pulled 103fwkw with perfect ratios








Well that is all for now

Cheers

Hey thanks, yeah we're down the elizabeth area, Mr's has another mk4 golf aswell, however not a GTI.

Plan on buying some coilovers this week, and some new wheels next week, thinking of some 18x8s, stretched 205's on them with -2 deg camber at the rear.
Heading for the euro stance type look i reckon

should look a little alright!

When i bought it, it had 190,000km, couple months later and a heap of interstate drives its now got 208,000km :|

thinking of also doing a vr6 3.2ltr conversion, forged rods n pistons, cammed, few other bits and peices with a gt35 on the side of it. real keen on hitting up jambo next year in qld :>

Sounds expensive :/ alot of power for a front wheel drive too. The gti engine ive got had 177k on it and im replacing most external parts. Nothing internal as ill only be running a franken turbo.

yeah the vr6 alone is around the $2750 mark :O
however most of the work ill be doing myself which will save me a stack load of money!!

if it happens ill be aiming for around the 300-400fwkw mark
