Sorry about the bad pics, these were from the last owner.


Plans:

Sell / Swap the alloys*

Sell / Swap the Induction kit*

Sell / Swap the Exhaust system*

Armrest

Front Anti Roll Bar

*I'm just after a standard engine, not arsed about performance :)


The ride is SOO much more comfy than the cupra and the seats (even though they not recaro) are alot better :)

It's not the slowest of cars but it's not fast compared to the Cupra.

what sort of look are you going for with the new wheels/exhaust? not really a fan of mk4 golfs always thought they were very boring and the worst of the golf range BUT there have been quite a few that have changed my mind about them, when i first read the spec list and saw dotz alloys i was expecting some thing much worse than what is on there, i dont mind them too much and im always a fan of a hidden exhaust, probably a bit biased though lol

New exhaust will be standard one or a performance one thats quiet :p

Wheels, not sure yet tbh. Would like something OEM for now like the RS4 wheels or possible the Scirocco wheels. The wheels are not aweful and i can wait to change them :)

I love the shape of the mk4 Golf, don't know why...just do :)


EDIT:

Scirocco Wheels

[jeffchiz]

dont get me wrong im tempted to get a mk4 next as i said some look awesomeeee

i like the alloys you get on the mk5 limited edition golfs
http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo16/jeffchiz/Volkswagen_Golf_GTI_Malaysia_Special_Edition_1.jpg

on my saxo ive got a supersprint center section with a oem hidden back box, thats very quite considering its a straight through pipe

[Proffitt]

Some guy has them on his Bora in my area and im not keen :p

So i might have to change the back boc to standard and it will be quiet, will try it :)

[Lewis]

Love it! :) My mate just got one with the 18" vw 8 spokes, pretty god damn quick for an 18 year old :P

[Lewis1600]

Cant wait for some changes :D :D

VW 8 spokes. Which ones?


Cant wait for some changes :D :D

Haha and me :D

[D--R--E--W]

S3
Have to guess :S lol

[Marcos]

i think you may struggle with scricco wheels as they will be 5 x 112 and mk4s are 5 x 100 so you will need the hub kits which will lower the offset down to around et13ish. i ran et25 on front and scrubbed like hell on every bump, and ran et15 on back and did same, but mine were 9js, will look good when alloys are off :y:

[Proffitt]

Lol, i was actually guessing for a while untill i quoted your post :oops:
You got any pics of the car? Spec?

[D--R--E--W]

Looks smart Drew, whats the spec?

225bhp fully standard car so clean slate to work on, but has every optional extra;)

elec mirrors
elec fold in mirrors
elec sunroof
heated mirrors
traction control
climate control
cruise control
half yellow suede and black leather interior incl recaro's
4wd system
SPS drive system
BOSE sound system

you get the idea ;)

[Jamie]

Much better Tom, I personally really dislike Ibiza's, regardless to how powerful they can be (pal had a 240bhp one ran 13 second 1/4s)

Defo get shot of those distasteful alloys lol

Yes, the alloys will be going. Would need a swap really as i don't have any other alloys to replace them.

Drew - Nice spec. I :heart: the S3 seats.

[readie]

[johnlambert]

[mattknight1984]

Looks like quite a bit of work went into that :y:

[sr666]

as seen in the previous pics you should defo get the RS4 alloys, they suit the car a treat,

If not then maybe some Leon Cupra R alloys, octavia VRS alloys ??

Just my opinions :)

[CHIP]

Don't bolf it. Does my head in when people do that. Want a Bora front end, buy a Bora lol.

Tbh, i think it looks quite smart on the Dotz wheels - they may not be the 'in thing' in the Vag scene but it doesn't mean they don't look smart.

[JRC1]

Love MK4 Golfs, they can look great when done right :y: I also agree with the seats being so comfortable..:p

Scirocco wheels are win. Seen them on a Golf and they look great. Trying to convince my Dad to stick a set on his R32 :afro:

Good buy man :y:

[brosnan]

dont take that much, looks like alot been done to yours fella lowering etc, just you preferred touches, i had fk high's then air ride but depends how much money you got to Waste!!! ha cause it was!!

[Cal]

Looks halreet Tommeh, looking forward to seeing changes :y:

[Proffitt]

I prefer the look of the compared to the Ibiza and it's cheaper to run etc :)

Nah, not going to bolf it :p

Yes they are that comfy, mine is Low and I don't have the recaros and it's still very comfy :)

[D--R--E--W]

Done sort of what you have mate, worked my way up from a 700 quid 106gti to a 200bhp corsa then onto the saxo, cupra and now the S3. Only swap that ever involved money was the S3 but it was 400 quid of tax money that I got back from the gov lol

Ye go for a 1.8T, you can pick loads up these days with a stage 1 map and some nice mods :y:

Before you get one, sign into a Golf forum and see if anyone in your area has a VAG COM and ask if they dont mind you borrowing it or them coming with you to test the car for fauls.

Main problems with 1.8t are MAF, N75 Valve, Coilpack. (cheap apart from the coilpack)

There is a massive thread on uk-mkivs.net about buying a golf and the common problems :)

[Aaron]

I know they are Dotz and people class them as chav, but im growing on them :oops:

The one thing i dont like about them is the black inbetween the spokes.

What do people reckon to resraying them all silver? or Gold? Leaving the dish polished?

BBS LM's in Gold:

http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh43/craigusg/newwheelsjpg.jpg

The wheel spec would be:
Front = 18 x 8
Back = 18 x 9 with a larger dish ;)


What do people think?

[Predator_R32]

go bbs for sure :y:

[Proffitt]

go bbs for sure :y:

Cheers Pred. They won't be genuine :oops:

And the only thing thats putting me off buying them is that they are common as f*ck!!

[Predator_R32]

common because they work ;)

[coleman258]

LM's deffinately are played out way to much, but for a reason they look really good. But if you want to be different you have to end up paying £££££

Also with the whiteline ARB, is this the one that allows you to go low low?

[Proffitt]

common because they work ;)

True, very true. I shall be setting that pic as my background on everything to see if i like them :)

I know, being different in the mk4 Golf world is very very pricey :n:

Yes thats the one that allows you to go low low, the other cheap option is the remove the ARB all together ;)

I have adjustible droplinks that have helped but still rub a bit!

My mate has a MK4 and i have said to him to just remove the ARB because he is tight, but he seems to think the car will kill him. But it is ok to remove it isn't it? (obviously not the ideal thing to do though)

Yes, you can remove it and peple do do it.
It's not highly recommended if you drive fast and take corners like a F1 car but if you're a slow and carful driver its ok :y:

[Proffitt]

Update and not a very good one either!


Although I like mayo, this maybe a small problem...

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn94/Tom_Lad/Golf%20GTI%2020/shit.jpg

Sorry for the crap small pic. Will get a better one tonight :y:

Going to the garage tonight and see how it goes. It's on my mind though ;)

[JoshB]

Does that say 2.0 in your pic? Is it the 2.0 N/A GTi then?

[mattknight1984]

Does that say 2.0 in your pic? Is it the 2.0 N/A GTi then?

Yeah it is. Not a proper gti, other countries just call it a 2.0.

Definately 1.8t it - looks great from outside but the lack of power must get on your nerves.

[Proffitt]

Yes that's correct, unfortunatly!


Yeah it is. Not a proper gti, other countries just call it a 2.0.

Hahanot a proper gti :homme:
If its expensive to fix then I might aswell 1.8t it ;)

And yes the lack of power does get on my nerves...a lot lol

[CraigLovelock]

Is it on the dipstick / oil in the coolant?

Might just be condensation?

[J222JRA]

Is it on the dipstick / oil in the coolant?

Nah it's not on the dipstick :)

My mate at the garage said it could be condesation, ill keep an eye on it :y:

I use my car everyday :S Plus there was quite abit there :n:

[rorz_vts]

stick your finger in and give it a scoop ;)

[coleman258]

Does your car only do short journeys? go out for a good long drive and see if that clears it up.

[jonesyFX]

Does your car only do short journeys? go out for a good long drive and see if that clears it up.

+1 .. my car used to get this because work is only like 10 mins away so car didn't warm up properly. Good drive should sort it out :y:

Nah, it always gets warmed up to half way on every journey :y:

15 min drive to work (6 miles), 5 mins of that is doing 70mph.

Need to start saving but i still want to do things to mine though!

Thoughs on new wheels and anni kit for mine and just getting a bigger loan for the next car or keep mine looking like it is and save about £500 more!

[BBM]

aha! I know someone selling a mint R32 atm

[Proffitt]

Ahh not at the moment mate, wish i could though!! lol.

Going to start looking at aroung October ish and hopefully find a mint blue / black one :D

[BBM]

They are lovely cars, the noise is insane

[mattknight1984]

r32s are great - but didnt you sell the ibiza because it was expensive to run? An r32 will rape you in comparison!

[Proffitt]

r32s are great - but didnt you sell the ibiza because it was expensive to run? An r32 will rape you in comparison!

The main reason for selling the Cupra was insurance renwal came in at £2400 :n: Now being 21 and 3 years NCB and due to have 4 NCB in October it's affordable.

Although you are right, it properly will rape me on petrol. Although they do a good 34 mpg on the motorway...thats affordable AND im due a payrise in the summer for passing my ONC & HNC ;)

R32... hmmm.

Nice cars but you can get so much more for your money!

[Proffitt]

R32... hmmm.

Nice cars but you can get so much more for your money!

Hmmmmm :boxing:

Like what Beckha?

[beckha]

I was looking at them before I bought the civic.

They are at least 2k more for an R32 and TBH they arent even that fast and they are very heavy. Lol.

Very thirsty too!

x

[Proffitt]

Maybe true but they stand out better than a civic type R, no offence :hug:

Plus you can't beat that V6 roar ;)

Time will tell anyway, if everything goes to plan then i will most probs be getting one :D

[JoshB]

Insurance might not be too bad, but check the Tax. Its classed as a 4x4 i'm sure.

If you are looking at a new car then I wouldnt spend another penny on your Golf! It looks lovely as it is!

Tax is £215 for the year so average :)

Thanks alot matey :y:

[rorz_vts]

think i would rather have a turbo supra than a r32 for the money mate even if the supra is a old car now and the golfs are sexy

[Proffitt]

Yes, there are so many faster cars out there for around the 10K mark but i want something thats new and modern, like the R32 :)

Although a Focus ST-3 is still on my mind as its a Turbo and i miss my turbo big time :n: lol

[BBM]

http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x467/colin975/P1210285MOD.jpg

Gonna be a dick and show this, 1 of only 31 Pearl Grey R32's made for the UK.

[Proffitt]

That grey colour is awesome :D

Although I still want either blue or black ;)

[JRC1]

Everyone underestimates R32's! Yes you may be able to go faster for less but there is something about the R32. The sound for one is awesome, you hardly see them about which is a good thing imo, they turn heads ALL the time.

I've got a secret love for R32's so my opinion is biast but i'd never follow the crowd and get an EP3 or Leon Cupra R's etc over an R32, not saying they aren't good cars because they are - i'd just prefer to get something rarer!
My old mans got a MK5 mate and I love it! With a quote like that i'd be looking on pistonheads and eBay daily for a cheap one to come up lol :y:

Your GTi's looking nice anyway pal.

Agreed 100% :y:

Im going to start saving in March (loan from dad finishes) and start looking for one in October time BUT might not be untill next year getting one as a i want a MINT one with the Half lether Konig seats, <50k miles, FVWSH and maybe one with the Miltek exhaust already fitted...save my self £450 lol.

That R32 Symphony is simply awesome, i could listen to that all day long :oops:



Right people, what do you think my car would look like with 15" steelies on?

[timmythechef]

15 inch, no matter how much you lowered it, wouldnt fill the arch would they?

I know this is the case on the mk5, i seen one with 16 inch bbs spilts on air, and he still couldnt fill them

[shannon-ob]

Dunno what they are but I think it looks well smart :D

http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy299/shannon-ob/3564814924_5f5830b3c4_b.jpg

[Proffitt]

No they wouldn't fill the arch atall!!

Im confused on what i want now after getting the R32 quote! If i get some steelies (£100) the sell my Dotz (£450) thats £350 profit :D BUT the will look shit! lmao

[Proffitt]

Dunno what they are but I think it looks well smart :D

http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy299/shannon-ob/3564814924_5f5830b3c4_b.jpg

Think they are banded steelies and I cant afford them / don't want to spend £450+ on a set :p

[timmythechef]

I might be wrong, but they look a fair bit larger than 15inch.

What fk set up you got?

Im looking at fk or ap coilovers for my a3, undecided

[shannon-ob]

Ahh. They're well nice though!
I think if you're gunna be putting steels on then you need some kind of dish on them. Just wouldn't look right on a Golf overwise. But thats my personal opion.

[Proffitt]

I dont have a clue tbh mate, think they are FK Street. They all the way down on the front with helpers taken out and i dont know the front.

Update

Well the cheap ass DVD player has been playing up these last couple of months, the volume would go straight to max on its own, the volume would go down on its own and when you try and fight it it would do the opposite, it sometimes wouldnt play a CD, it would skip tracks forward and backwards and also it would play backwards :wacko:

So after about 2 months of this being like it is, the inevitable happened...

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn94/Tom_Lad/Golf%20GTI%2020/DVDSmash.jpg

Yes, i got annoyed and smahsed it with a convertor i had lying in the passenger footwell :oops:


I tried twice before to get the DVD player out and failed, it just wouldnt budge!! So last night i set my mind to it and started stripping around the DVD player to try and free it. With it being stipped enough to see down the side, I could see why I failed getting it out before....there was 2 screws each side half way in (so sticking out, acting like the steel cage things).

Sooooo i started removing more and more bits and finally got the f*cker out and was left with this...

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn94/Tom_Lad/Golf%20GTI%2020/DVDout.jpg

:oops:


It's payday today so im getting a new SINGLE din CD player from Halffords (one from the sale) and im going to be purchasing a cubby hole from VW that goes inbetween the CD player and the cup holders.
Should look like this (not mine)...

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y79/silver16v/DSCN0854.jpg


Will update this when I get and fit the new CD player :y:

[Proffitt]

2. Cubby hole Ordered :y:

3. Half an armrest ordered, need to order the mounting bracket from VW to fit it :y:


will get pics up when they come :D

[Proffitt]

Update


Cubby hole arrived and fitted, looks 10000x better that it did with the screen in :y:

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn94/Tom_Lad/Golf%20GTI%2020/cubbyhole.jpg

Inspiration:

Should be ordering some 25mm engine spacers when the Group Buy gets sorted so can lower a little more ;)

[Proffitt]

Update.


I have finally received my armrest...well it's half an armrest :p

All i need to fit it is the bracket, which are easy to get hold of :D

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn94/Tom_Lad/Golf%20GTI%2020/IMG_1324.jpg


Overall, it has cost me £59 and its a £59 well spent. Well worth getting one :y:


Also, I changed the drivers side rear 15mm spacer to an 8mm spacer due to the common fault of the mk4 golf that the rear chassis is more to the drivers side by 5mm!! lol

I will be ordering a 10mm spacer so it all matches up :y:


Should be going 5mm lower on the front this week sometime ;)

[Proffitt]

Thanks.

Ye would of been nice to keep it and finish it. I've kinda left the modifing world now. I couldnt bring my self to spend the money to get it lowered more, ARB removed, Chassis notched and engine spacers fitted tbh.

The BMW is pretty much done :y:

[jamesmel92]

Looks very nice and I quite like the wheels too :-D. And 129,000 is alot but on a BMW it will still live forever lol

looks very tidy all about that bumper on the e46 aswel, 129,000 aint too much to worry about jus watch the cam belt and usual crap but they are bullet proof, the ac schnitzer wheels are epicc hope you get it man!

129k is nothing for a BMW!

and they don't have cambelts. chain driven so never need replacement :)

Yes, any updates mate?

No, the deal didn't go through!

Was real wierd! This guy drove to mine from Manchester (1 hour and 30 mins drive) he got out with 3 other lads, 3 of them was drinking cans of Carlsberg!!. Was a little intimidating (sp) tbh.

Well they looked at mine and i looked at his, his car was a mess...he didn't even bother to clean it. Outside was dirty, inside was filthy. Stains on the carpet...fag butts everywhere, stank of smoke. There was empty cans of Carlsberg all over the place.

One of his mates just said that my car was a total loss, it had been in a smash and it shouldn't be on the road!! I was like WTF :wacko:

The car is HPI clear as i do one everytime i buy a car :) Although I couldn't find the HPI certificate anywhere, typical!

Then the driver just said we'll leave it and they drove off and that was that!


Since he left, i have done another HPI check and it came back all clear...yet again.

Apart from all that, was a lovely car and sounded awesome, it has definatly made me want one. So im still looking. I really want to sell my car then buy one out straight :y:

My car is still for sale, although i am not in any hurry to sell.


I have fitted a standard exhaust to my car which is soo silent compared to the other one, which i love, and i need to get one 12mm spacer for the rear to stop rubbing. I am looking for some standard / OEM wheels too :A:

That is all folks.

Shame you didn't get the bimmer, but sounds like its a good thing.....Blokes sound a bit dodgey!

Yes, was a shame really as it was a lovely looking car.

And yes was very dodgy! Ahh well, the hunt is still on :A:

Bye Bye Golf :sad:

Very sad to see it go tbh and it will be missed.

Went for £2400 and I kept the armrest, CD player and the exhaust. Also TAX was due at the end of the month, so got off lightly :p

All the bits are up for sale to go towards my new car :A:

I am looking at getting a BMW 3 Series coupe M Sport. Been looking for a while and seen a few so watch this space ;)
