2000 MKIV - Saved from sure automotive death.

If it's pulling the steering around, have you looked at the rear LCA bushes. The std Golf ones are pretty dire. If you need new ones, definitely get the S3/TT ones. They are solid and last much better. I replaced the ones in my S3 when I got it and they have done 80000 now and still look really good.

I do believe they have had it. I was thinking about swapping my old lca's which have poly bushes but I decided not to. I'll check out the TT/s3 bushes now. Cheers Gav

These are the ones, had poly in my A3 years ago and they squealed constantly. There's some more advanced thinking on them though now.

I have stage 2 Custom Code with just 3" downpipe no cat -> stock exhaust to the rear and just a pod filter and K03s and 4bar Fuel reg
I get 600-650km to the light comes on and I drive in peak hour every day for 30km each way.
I don't drive "slow" boosting a fair bit during my daily commute
The dash says 7.4l/100km which I think is pretty amazing
pulls hard and great drivability for a daily.

the difference isn't as noticeable as stock to stage 1 but definitely worth it!

look forward to seeing the rest of your build mate car is looking very refreshing with the Enkei's

Cheers mat. Having the same wheels for one year was getting old haha. Not sure if I should go stage 1 and leave it until I get all the parts sorted for a k04 or maybe even gt28rs... Also where did you source your K03s from?

[blackers10]

That is a tough choice to go stage 1 then 3.
I got the ko3s from gav conveniently
