Well ill update this anyway, ive been working my way through the list above and have made pretty good progress
-Powerflex dogbone mount, which i have but managed to shear off the first bolt i tried to undo. so will try again when i have the inclination.
Powerflex dogbone fitted with new mounting bolts-4 motion front valence, saw one on my friends mk4, like the look of them
Purchased an ebay 4 mo replica splitter, fits ok, looks how i want it to-silicone boost/breather hoses as the current ones are looking old/worse for wear etc
Replaced the breathers for Creations Motorsport silicone hoses, also replaced the top elbow boost hose for a silicone affair-few polybushes on the front suspension to tighten it up a bit, arb, droplink etc
Droplink polybushes purchased but not fitted-rear beam polybushes, advised on the MOT
New rear beam bushes fitted (Floflex polybushes)not overly impressed with how they fit, but then again they were cheap -rear anti roll bar, eibach or KW
-rear tyres, again advised on the MOT
New tyres fitted, Uniroyal RainexpertsAt the beginning of May i managed to get my first track outing in the golf, at this point all i had managed to fit were the dogbone and rear tyres, so the rear beam bushes were absolutely hopeless. The car performed well dispite this, the power on the straights making up for the floaty suspension. There were plenty of photographers on the day, heres a pretty good photo
That was at Mallory Park, one of my favourite circuits. I did make a few in car videos, which i may upload if theres any interest.
So after Mallory the brakes were pretty rubbish, I figured id boiled the fluid or something as the ABS started interfering later in the day. So i bled the air from the calipers, and a friend came over to help change the rear beam bushes as he had done them on his. We were able to knock the old bushes out in 20 seconds each side with a hammer, so they were pretty far gone but suprisingly didnt knock or anything.
Once the floflex items were in, i decided it was all good for a trip to the Nurburgring, which I had been missing for 3 years since the last time i went. Beautiful fantastic place. The Golf performed without fault, even in the rain i was suprised how well it handled, I was able to go alot quicker than most of the others out at the time.
Few pics ive found online
Anyways, i think thats it for now. I have some new brake fluid to go in, some ATE SuperBlue DOT 4 which ill do at some point before its next track outing
