hey all, new member from Northern Ireland. Drive a wee mk3 gti 8 valve. Bought it as a runabout after selling my scooby cause it was crippling me on fuel costs. Never been into the dub scene much, was more Jap and Honda scene but gotta say I really like my mk3 and loving the look of the dub scene. Some gorgeous cars on this forum :drool: Here's some pics of mine, so far.....

Well this certainly won't drink as much fuel, but can you cope with the huge drop in power after having the Scooby! There are lighter golfs available. :lipsrsealed: :grin:
Welcome... It does look very tidy.

Aye I did miss the scooby at the start but I wasn't getting the use out of it and cost too much to keep. Sold it at just the right time too cause the engine went bang 3 weeks after I sold it :shocked:

Woh, that's unfortunate for the new owner, did he try and have a moan at you about it?... Could have just been the new owner didn't know how to drive it?

Yeah, it is unfortunate but it was running sweet when i sold it. Had just flew through mot and serviced aswell and i always looked after it well. Na, he didn't contact me, actually found out on a different forum. Sometimes those engines just let go with no warning. Or if you don't treat them properly.

I's say the last bit more likely, just gave the poor thing far too much stick!

:cool: So you got any plans for this then?
-
Aye have a few things in mind, nothing major though. Was supposed to just leave this car alone, well thats what I'd told the wife :grin: But as with any car within a week the modding bug bites. So far just lowered it and painted the indicator / fogs on bumper ( cause they kept misting up and was pissing me off ). Black badges and a good tidy up and polish. Really fancy a set of TT comps :drool: and some coilovers instead of these bouncy 80mm PI springs. It sits well but bouncier than a bouncy ball on a bouncy castle :laugh:

:laugh: nice one..
You'll just have to do what some of us do and get stuff delivered to work so they don't see what you're buying... Once you fit stuff it's a case of "It's always been like that love." :grin:
