Bad times mate :undecided:

In contrast, the best feeling is fixing all the bar steward problems you have on your Mk4 n driving round feeling like a king for it! :cool:

Yeh 2K is enough im sure But you better have funds to fix the rest of the things that will go wrong after :D In all fairness the stories on here about 1.8t's when they go wrong is scary... touchwood the v6 has had no issues obviously not as cool as a 300bhp 1.8t But reliability wise il stick with my 4mo... If i wanted power i wouldnt be plowing it in to a mk4 thats for sure

you want to pull your finger out and stop slacking  :laugh: of all things to break my interior door handle broke the other day was told by dealers they aint been available since 2007 lol but got one sorted now.. i would love summat like an lcr but in reality even with 225 standard they aint making great figures without having ££££ spent on them and barely hitting 300bhp cost of golf plus mods to make the power your after would probaby come in slightly under to that of an s3 or lcr to get same or slightly higher figures imo and i am a big fan of the lcr and the s3  :laugh: as i want an lcr next
