[RedMk2Gti]

I've been busy on the weekend to set her up ready for this weekend summer crurise, replaced a few leaking coolant hose did a good coolant flush.
put on new shoe. some pic

[Jarred]

Looking good!

[walshydub]

Looks great, wheels are sweet. 15's? 7's or 8's?


but dare i say it


needs to be lower

[RedMk2Gti]

needs to be lower

I knew you and Jarred is going to say that

For practical reason and don't want to attach cop attention, I don't want crazy low.
I did purposely wind UP the coil over .

[GOLFBALLS]

looking very nice mate. Those wheels look like they might be RS031 maybe? Are they 2 or 3 piece?
You could drop it a little haha. mine is about 25mm lower than that and I dont scrape... much

Haha, fair enough mate, we like 'em low

Mine doesn't get any cop attention at it's current height. Probably because it's a small car (compared to all the falcons/commodores) so cops don't really notice. NSW cops might be a bit more vigilant than there QLD counterparts (not many QLD cops on the roads anyway, mainly hiding like cowards in unmarked vans, but that's another issue).

Anyway great looking MK2, RS's suit it perfectly.

It is 3 pieces, not sure what exactly RS0xx though, cos it has been redrilled. I can only see RS0, the last 2 digits have been drilled through.

[GOLFBALLS]

Ah ok, if they're 15x7 and ET25 offset they'll be RS001's provided the lips haven't been changed at some point. Oh and the centre cap is the threaded screw on type.

Cops shouldn't pay too much attn to lows, as long as the car isn't crazy loud and you dont drive like an arse!

Cheers

Unlike Ryan, I'm a bit lazy to update my car, eventually got bore on the weekend so just took some photos

Good bye BBS RS, welcome Aluline
I'm sick of cleaning BBS RS, also want something different, there are too many BBS RS so they are not so special IMO
Thank you to Lewis to sell me this cool Aluline turbine, they aren't particular light wheel, but god it's so cool. Just a test fit pic



Bought a G60 OEM sound/heat insulator from eBay, it does make some slight difference.


This is every Mk2 owner should do, $25 a brand new coolant bottle + $15 G12+ coolant, make your engine bay a fresh look


Finally fit new window scrapper after 6 months arrival of parts

[walshydub]

Very nice. New wheels look great.

[ryana89]

Haha, and we want to see more of it too.
Vewry nice dish happening with those rims

I might follow Wade's (GOLFBALLS) lead and do that too, considering the new pretty pink G12++ can barley be seen in the overflow.

Mk4 style keyfob install

I'm sick of the 15 years old alarm keep playing up so and the remote central locking only works intermittently, so I bought this cheap keyless entry kit Remote Central Locking Kit VW GOLF mk4 mk5 POLO HAA key | eBay. I like the Mk4 style keyfob

I don't really need alarm anyway so first to remove all these junk


Wire up the new keyless entry to my after market central locking is straight forward


Mk4 lookalike keyfob, removed the 2 tidy screws and pull the key out




Dremel is my best friend



Use JB Weld to glue the key back, I bought these VW logo badge from a fellow forum member (I can't remember who), all done.



At the end, very happy with the remote key, it can lock/unlock from 50 meter away

I imported coilover from Awesome GTI in UK, great service, great price. You can also get same coil from Lorenz SLAMMEDdistribution.

About BBS, if you are willing to pay reasonably good price, they do come up quite often locally, they are really not that rare.

would love to see pic of your white mk2
