Lito's MK4 GTI

[Lito]

So there has been a bit of talk as of late from the 9n polo guys and the mk4 gti guys about big turbos and engine builds. All this talk has gotten me thinking and I've decided that if im gonna keep this car, i'm gonna enjoy it. I've decided to get a Garret GT2871r, rated at around 400bhp this should keep me and the tire stores happy for quite some time. One kit I've found so far is this...

Installed a 24mm whiteline adjustable swaybar today, haven't had much of a chance to test it but initial impressions are positive.


Got some new headlights on the way too

Good stuff mate. Should be a nice addition with that back sway. Pity we never got to do that mk4 shoot before I up and left for Melbourne

You should bring it out to happy laps and see how it goes then

Said that above.

Yeah Sorry about that, my eyes must be painted on or I have the memory of a goldfish. I'm sure I read something about having to drill out a locater lug (or something similar) somewhere. Not sure though, do you know anything about that or installing Audi 90 tops (guessing they are the same).

[dylan8]

not sure what the go is there mate. i have heard of some guys using the audi 80 ones but that could be bs. worth searching the net for though or emailing the supplier.

Said that above.

have you taken your helpers out? do that and drop a tyre size, should get you a good inch lower

this might help mate...

hey mate thanks for the link, these look like what i need, 10-15mm is all im after, just want a little forward rake as it sits almost perfectly level now. one question though, they don't list mk4 in there drop down menu

not sure what the go is there mate. See below post regarding the possibility of installing Audi 90 strut tops.

I fitted some of the lowered strut tops to my old e36 and they worked fine. Realistically archived maybe 10 to 15mm lower but everything helps I guess. I'll post photos when I'm back at my lap top if that helps. In the mean time here's the link to the place I bought mine.

Nice work on the rims too, just purchased something similar for the a3

...And yes I do agree it needs to go lower in the front, looking at some smaller strut tops
