Title: Hi all, I'm new, bought a mk3 Gti 8v too!
Post by: saty on 05 October 2003, 20:03

Well heres the original thread I posted in the wrong section! Please can u help my questions guys! -

well i'm only 20 so could only afford a Gti 8v Mk3! Is pretty nippy tho not 'really fast'. But I lov it. It's standard atm, got a few questions,


1- with 17s how low can i go without archwork? 60mm???

2- will 18s fit?

3- been researching exhaust systems, magnex do a nice system with    decat pipe, is this any gud, or what other systems would you recommend?

4- which induction kit is best, heard piperX is better than the K&N for noise!!!

5- what other mods are gud with this 8v 115 bhp engine!!!

6- any1 know anywhere on the net where theres big pics of mk3 standard/slightly modded, especially the VW ones!!!!

thanks all!!!

I didn't read to the end of your q's before - but if you have a look on the main forum page and follow the links through to the past events, I am sure you will find a good few pics in amongst the ones taken at the shows - Richandhazels home page has a few links to show pics too - worth a browse
