What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[dylan8]

Had my car out for the first time in over a week. God i missed the 'feeling' of the steering and the manual

Went and ordered some LED number plate lights and on the search for a H3 LED bulb to stick in my driving light housing

Took my car through the national park with a group of about 15 cars last night, first time i've driven it in anger in a long time, it's been sitting in my garage for a while now with the bmw doing daily duties.

Big brakes were fantastic, I was absolutely hammering them and not a hint of fade/pedal drop - Some squeeling towards the end though. Same again with the engine, just pulling and pulling and felt like it had more power after the run. On the highway leaving, couldn't seperate my car and my mates chipped 2TFSI jetta.

Also realised it doesn't matter the car or mods, the speed of the car is soley dependant on the size of the drivers balls.

so today lost my licence at court and now the golf is off the road and deciding what the next mods will be if any1 can give me any guidence on a good place for engine work on my 2.0L in SE QLD would be great because its time my car had a bit more poke

the only thing you can do with that engine is port work and very minimal results, otherwise supercharger it or turbo kit but im doubtful you'd be willing to spend 4k+

As fuzion stated, gains will be incredibly poor value unless you move to forced induction. Maybe sell the car and buy a GTI, which has more potential for easy performance increases?

That said, is a faster car the best thing for someone who's just lost their license for street racing (right after Chris died allegedly doing the same thing)?

Wheels arrived!!
Need a polish and some TLC but first mission will be to get some tyres on and adapters fitted up and have everything working.

quite laughable that you even thought you could race the thing, I'd be embarrassed to be in a 2.slow revving its tits off and going nowhere. Even more embarrasing getting it impounded I guess. get a GTI when you can sit at the lights with somone egging you on and not take the bait

You can speed in any car, you can do things stupid in any car regardless of how 'crazy fast' it is.. It evidently true .. lol

SPend the money you have the result, or sell and buy a gti. Otherwise enjoy the car until you get a bit older and upgrade to something a bit more powerful when you have more $$ and experience

This is a good place to start re. tuning the 2.0:

As stated, it's not the ideal platform to start with and gains are more modest than what can be achieved with the 1.8T and the same $.

[fuzion]

well .. how do i put this..

Vince decided to make a custom Airbox.

Picture speaks for itself! Copied from some american boys in the vortex..

Works well, sounds unique and smells ... well like hops as Brumue says lol.

[Guest0608]

fitted brand new shiny none stone chipped VW badge in front grill, got a lock cap and cover so the drivers door lock will be removed and a blanking cover fitted same as passenger side, just needs painting. Also removed the R32 badge from the front grill, modded the old retaining plate and fitted a blue euro R badge..............VW................

lol - difference is I know it and am not looking to blow anyone off the road, nor do mods in the hope of power gains

v5 with an exhaust sounds great tho

Didn't necessarily do anything but today I booked my first track day ever with the R! Can't wait to unleash the beast!
