      Because it couldn't put the power down, it wasn't fun at all.

      You wanna be able to stand on it and grip all the way to the redline.

        Ya defs agree, but spend a bit on suspension and you should be able to handle a bit of power.

          YUP SO TRUE! get some coilovers, keep backend abit stiffer to put more pressure on front wheels. also if i do have a problem with traction, i would just run a 2 stage boost controller.....

              thats also an option.....

              after being sleep deprived and hungry, i did a random bid on ebay and now ended up with the below rims.
              since i accidentally bought this and i decided to look on google to see if it looks any good on our mk2. after much um and ahhhin, i have decided to get these rims in and paint the centres black and polish the lips/dish.

              boys give me your thoughts on this and if anyone could do a photoshop on to a red golf would be much appreciated!

                  They look similar to Borbet T, IMO it looks super cool and easier to clean. Who want to clean BBS RS every week

                      Weitec GT or GTN, best value for money coilover.

                      I have the GT and very happy with it.

                        Well ill update this for Tony.

                        Got rid of the cannon muffler and has a nice subtle 2" sports muffler. (Tony says it not loud enough but I like...). Replaced the power steering pump, stock tails, indicators.

                        Tony got his ebay on:



                        Which look awsome on the car:



                        And after air cleaner, timing cover, glove box and sun visor clip there is a RWC.
