Dans golf 20v turbo :-)

[DanViner]

After not being able to find a saxo that I actually wanted I decided to go for this golf
7 months mot
1 month tax
104k
Lowered 30mm
Stainless exhaust system
PIAA headlight bulbs
Boost gauge
Not a bad price at £1450 (down from £1950)

Unfortunately previous owner had covered it in carbon wrap
This is already been removed by myself but didn't take any photos today

Excuse the shit photos they are off the advert

The plans are :
Wheels not sure what yet ideas welcome
Forge 007p diverter valve
Panel filter
Forge silicone boost hose kit
Coilovers + adjustable droplinks
Fmic
R32 front bumper
Smooth rear bumper
Led interior upgrade
Then ofcourse the re-map
That's probably all I will do but may add more as I go along


Comments and criticism welcome
Hopefully I will keep this car longer than the rest

I was pulling it off in the garage they weren't best pleased but in all serious ness it looks shite IMO

[Proffitt]

Need some better pics Dan :y:

Get a re-map, liven her up a bit :A:

[holdawayt]

Get yourself on Edition38 for some inspiration.

Looks like it could be nice with a bit of work.

[JoshB]

Will this be the 150bhp one then at that year?

Seems a bit expensive... but it is reasonably low mileage I suppose.

[Proffitt]

£1450 @ 104k is very reasonable imo. Especially a 20vt in Jazz Blue.

Some Golfs these days are twice as expensive with loads more miles.

[DanViner]

I thought if was dirt cheap tbh with that mileage in that colour

My friend has a black 3 door one with the 210 remap and set up and it shifts

Car is in the garage today getting new brakes/gear linkages and having a little check up
So I will get some better pictures soon

[JoshB]

I forgot you pay a premium for living daaarn saaaarf!

They're all priced around the £1200 mark round here that's all, but they are clocking 110k.

Plans sound good! But please don't go for Audi reps on the corners...

[DanViner]

I would like some dish wheels
But also like the rs4 and rs6 wheels but then there is also r32 wheels
I don't want it to look to much like a r32 just got rid of the badges that was on it

Profit whats you're thoughts on coilovers for this as there seems to be alot out there for £200 which is very cheap but both my friends run them on there golfs and they seem fine and no problems,
Am I better off getting a well known brand or just get the cheap ones ??

Its honestly down to you mate. Obviously the more expensive ones / better brand names are going to be better than the budget JOM £200 ones.
Although, I have a set of £200 coilovers on my bmw m sport and they are perfect for what I want and was perfect for my budget :)

If your budget can strech and you're okay with spending £500 - £600 on a set of coilovers...do it.
If your budget cant stretch that far, the JOMs for £200 are great. Great value for money.

[Lewis1600]

Please do this.

This has to be my favorite mk4 5 door golf.

Yeah I think I may just get the cheap ones
As I could get nearly everything on my list minus the wheels for the price of gaz coilovers
But I will have a proper think closer to the time
Thanks

Thats Hamid's car off uk-mkivs.net. He sold it now and has a Bora v5 :p

[Proffitt]

How low are you planning on going btw?

[DanViner]

Love that one
Would be ideal to get it looking even half that good

[DanViner]

How low are you planning on going btw?

Prob 50-60 not to much
But you need adjustable drop links past 45/50mm iirc

[Proffitt]

Ye past 45mm you need either adjustable drop links or a uprated ARB.
Most people cut the ARB off, which means no droplnks and cheap fix.

JOM coilovers are well known for their lowness, check my BMW out. JOM coilovers and im running low with loads of threads left on the strut :y:

[DanViner]

Nice one
Yeah I think I may get some JOM ones then

[DanViner]

Gear linkages and brakes done today also had the beam patter adjusted getting bored of annoying everyone
Booked in for a full service early march

Made a few little purchases today
Led interior kit in white £26
Led exterior kit in white £20
Piper cross panel filter £37
Flat blades all round £10
Forge diverter valve £89

That will be it until the alloys when I make up my mind

Considering buying these lights
Opinions ??

[Ben_SaxoForte]

looks pretty tidy, id just be worried that the wrap was hiding some nasty paintwork. hopefully its all good tho :y:

[DanViner]

Yeah wraps gone now body work is fine underneath bar 1 stone chip
Just haven't got time to take pictures as its been in garage and now it's dark

[DanViner]

Today seen the arrival of a few parts all minus the interior led kit
All fitted already ofcourse

I'm sure everyone knows what led bulbs look like so I will leave then photos

[DanViner]

A update for nothing really
All my money has gone on stupid things at the moment
Both window regulators failed on me in 2 days and had to have them done by a garage so cost a bomb
Also my interior electrics all lights/sunroof/central locking went so had that sorted then had 2 punctures in space of 1 week

Sold the forge diverter valve as wasn't for me I prefer the standard chatter
Just bought some rear handles and locks to de-lock the front and also may have some black rs4 alloys to go on soon (my friends just bought a Quattro and doesn't want them) will be refurbed in a light grey colour

Other than that it's booked in for a full service next week and all belt changes
Then it will be treated to a set of silicone boost and throttle intake pipes

[DanViner]

Little updates
i got some rs4 wheels a few months ago and also recently it has had new brakes,radiator,full blue silicone boost and coolant hoses, a service and full valet also had new wishbones the other day

i have also fitted a bmc cda induction kit which i got off ebay some Hids and braided brake lines

i will put up some pictures of the hoses tomorrow evening below are some with the instagram app
