Plans atm are just to enjoy it but probably start of next year i think i will start changing a few things and then in the long run i would like to either super charge it or put a 1.9turbo 20valve in.

nice lookin car dude. how much has it been lowerd and what size are the wheels n tyres?

Title: Re: Mk3 Golf GTI
Post by: Labrith on 26 October 2010, 09:46

from what i know its on 100mm coil overs but they are about half way down at the back and im gonna raise the front a little cause the splitter catches every thing -.- the wheels are 17s havent looked at the tyres yet tho.

It does look really good at that height but I can see why it's not practical. Shame as it sits very well on the 17's.

Post by: Labrith on 26 October 2010, 09:50

i can have it all the way down so that the tyre doesnt show at the top of the arch but its just waaay to low for any sort of bump  :drool:
