  • MkIII wish list.

    Okay all,

    Whats the next 4-5 things on your wishlist?

    New rims, Coils, interior work? Be specific if you can..Go nuts!
    I'll start..

    1. An amp and some subs.
    2. Coilovers
    3. Badgless Grill
    4. New knob and gaiter
    5. ???

    Damn 5 is not going to be enough!

    (i'm also fully aware that my car is in the 4 sale section, but I love that car so there is every chance I'll keep it and mod it a touch..)

        Mine is almost done. I have a row of post-its along my bedroom wall which I take down as I get them done. They range from realistic to highly unlikely.

        1. Coilovers
        2. Seats (which reminds me about a pre-arranged purchase) - I'm going to create/shape and retrim my own seats using new foam from Clarke Rubber and real suede to match the microsuede I have already started with.
        3. 2nd Amp and a kicker sub
        4. Badgeless Grill
        5. Boser Hood Extension
        6. New Clutch
        7. ?????
        8. Profit!!

          pffft, you guys are thinking too small. Here is my list:

          1. Super Charger
          2. Full stainless steel exhaust
          3. Porsche Twist replica wheels from Oz Wheels
          4. Paint Job
          5. New leather seats (either R Line or VR6, but either way retrimmed to my specs.

          And thats pretty much the order things will be lined up too, neglecting little bits here and there as my mood takes me.

          If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

            Man oh man the wishlist...

            1. get my wheels in good nick and throw tyres on then on the car
            2. install exhaust
            3. mechanical things like clutch timing chain wheel bearings (GAP FTW)
            4. coilovers
            5. I'd love a re-vamp of interior seating, and also little things like interior lighting and a beginning to engine internals.

            That's why it's a wishlist

            Edit: Daaaaaaamn I'd love a re-spray...

              Mine would be

              1. repaint small blemishes in paintwork (redo the original silver)
              2. New bumpers (especially the rear one) with as new textured tops
              3. coilovers + swaybars
              4. 1.8T swap with 02S (?) 6 speed
              5. some Regamaster Evos in white, I'm thinking 16x7.5f and 16.8.5r with Luscious poke

              that is all I ask

              + fix windows . I would realistically start from a sound standard base, meaning the windows would be first in order.

                Dispite other needs in my life demanding financial attention, I wish to do the following soon:

                1. Mangaflow exhaust part #15670
                2. Colour code my Hella headllight surrounds & air intakes
                3. Slotted disc brakes, decent pads, braided lines
                4. Another crack at a decent sound system, this time with bigger amps & a proper professional installer.
                5. 17" OZ Ultraleggra rims in black w/ high qual tires.

                I also wanna respray the car and refresh all the leather but both are probably out of my reach for a long while, but I can dream.

                    Theres zero point in headers on a vr6. Time and time again back to back dyno runs have shown a whopping 1% increase in power. Spend the money on other stuff.

                    Also, if you get rid of your cat converter I will send tree hugging hippies to your door

                            I'll change mine:

                            1. A Golf V
                            2. A Golf V
                            3. A Golf V
                            4. A Golf V
                            5. A Golf V

                            sorry guys but I think I've hit the end of the road for mine in terms of sensible mods... Hey James do you want your bloody TMT stuff or what ?

                              5. A Golf V
                              If you want to go that way I would go:

                              1. Mk4 R32
                              2. Supercharger
                              3. Brakes

                              I really do prefer the Mk4 to the Mk5.

                              If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.
