Title: Mint or modified?
Post by: modulater on 19 November 2003, 21:57
Do you keep it stock or do you "mod"?
Title: Re:Mint or modified?
Post by: Veedubgt18v on 19 November 2003, 21:58
STOCK!
Title: Re:Mint or modified?
Post by: modulater on 19 November 2003, 22:00
stock I agree.
Title: Re:Mint or modified?
Post by: Veedubgt18v on 19 November 2003, 22:01
modding is ok if it is kept tasteful and is blended as much as poss. with factory. no wings or cack like that

I like to enhance an already awesome product, a little bit of EIBACH here and a sprinkling of KONI, stirred with K&N.

Post by: Veedubgt18v on 19 November 2003, 22:06
tunes arent bad either, no cutting the parcel shelf or door trims tho!

Post by: Blue MK2 on 19 November 2003, 22:07
Bit of both really? More towards the stock side :D

Title: Re:Mint or modified?
Post by: golfvr6 on 19 November 2003, 22:10
Stock of course! maybe a few minor mods.
Title: Re:Mint or modified?
Post by: AdamB on 19 November 2003, 22:10
Subtle, smoothing mods. Cant stand these concord winged, bonnet scooped, UFO glowing, fast and furious, tarts cars.

i think modding like that is called degrading and modding like what we do (sniff) is complementing and improving
Title: Re:Mint or modified?
Post by: Veedubgt18v on 19 November 2003, 22:13
street sleeper is the way. modding depends on the car you got no point making a good one cack, but you cant make a cack one worse!
Title: Re:Mint or modified?

Street Sleeper? What is that? AM I TOO OLD?

You know the Q car effect, looks basic on the outside, nice wheels, exhaust, lowered, nothing flash but when you put the  size 9's down it  leaves fire on the road like back to the future.

it has to be std & mint looking, but little tweaks here & there to make it go that bit better round corners etc.

also, although 5doors aint as nice as 3doors, they are a better shell as they are more rigid, hence why VAG used them in the G60 Limited's

nothin wrong with 5 doors if you have a family,also whats all this bollocks about small bumpers being crap :-\

personally i have owned both big and small bumper models and although the big bumper looks more up to date,almost every gti you see has them its rare you see a small bumper model and i much prefer the retro look anyway :)

I'd have to say mostly stock with subtle mods such as a billet antenna, carbon mirror covers on stock mirrors, Definatly owered by 40mm with some tasteful alloys. No big chunky alloys with chrome and lights. as for interior how about an alloy golf ball shift knob, alloy mirror adjusters, alloy door lock pulls and TT pedal rubbers. Basically just improving on an already great motor. As soon as I get the extra money or time i would like to get rid of the twin tip sebring exhaust that sticks out 6 inches in the rear and go with a Jetex system. Only thing I don't like on my car at the present. :)

I like small bumpers, big bumpers, mint and modified. What I dont like is this constant bickering about what other people drive and its from those members that don't actually have any interesting input to put into the site.

At the end of the day we all drive the cars because it is a product with character. VW make cars that are fun to drive and have a certain something about them that makes you go out driving for no real reason other than to have fun.

Also since the early days of the beetle the scene with VW's has been good and I am proud to be part of that on here and at shows. I sometimes think to myself that its not really more than a car and then I see how many other nice golf's are on the road and think it is "more than a car" its a culture.

Sorry to rant but I wanted to air my views.

Stock mostly, but mod if done tastefully.

In my loft I've got Max Power magazines which I bought back in 1994 / 1995.  At the time I thought the cars featured were great and the modifications were on the whole pretty  8).

These days though - it's difficult to see exactly what the original cover cars are they are buried under so much plastic and stick on carbon fibre.  It could be an age thing, but there certainly is a lot of poo type quality modifications out there.

Personally - buy stock and then modify to taste if required.

FOR MRVR6's BENEFIT


YOU SAID:
"Drilling the front and side(not engine side) on old k-jet cars makes a big difference if combined with a sports air filter. This is because stock air boxes are very restrictive (to keep noise levels down), opening it up stops the depression occurring in the airbox, hence much better throttle response and a little bit of extra power. "

I SAID

"I don't think you emphasized the word 'little' enough. It merely makes your car sound louder

like drilling your back box on your mk2 escort back in the day - if it adds 1/2 a fallabella pony power I'd be surprised. "

Note well my use of sarcasm at the end - I think drilling the airbox adds a negliable amount like 3-5% power gain.


Now where's your point OH ENGINEERING GOD??
Title: Re:Mint or modified?
Post by: golfvr6 on 26 November 2003, 19:13
Here are some of your great statements:-

1.New longer duration cams would be a waste of time - unless you have ported and flowed your head.

Bollox, cams work, ported head will just make it even better.

2.don't think you emphasized the word 'little' enough


It merely makes your car sound louder


like drilling your back box on your mk2 escort back in the day -

if it adds 1/2 a fallabella pony power I'd be surprised.

Bollox, 1/2 pony power, try about 5%

3.To be honest it's just the noise making you think it's faster mate.

Bollox, more airflow means more power

4. Induction kits are a bit of a mixed bag - like you correctly point out - they work for the older cars - but are useless on the majority of newer cars with fully computerised management systems (which merely recalulate the air/fuel ratio when extra air is admitted).

Thats the idea , more air more fuel, more power. K-jets works the same, ever heard on an air flow meter?


I'm sure i could find many other bullsh!te statements Mr.Shady  :-*

Post by: Slim Shady on 26 November 2003, 19:22
what is 3-5% of 139?

about 6bhp - is that not small enough? How small would you say small was?

And that is if the engine is in good tune.

Adding just cams would be a waste of money - sure you would get a performance rise - but to FULLY get the advantage, you need to g/f your head wouldn't you agree?

On a K jet yes - more airflow = more power - but you made a sweeping comment.

Newer engines - will NOT have the same benefit - agree? In fact VAG will invalidate your warranty if you fit an induction pack coz it f**ks up the MAF. As my colleague with a Leon found out after he had blown up his 3rd meter in 8mths.



I'm sure you couldn't mr vr6 -







Title: Re:Mint or modified?
Post by: golfvr6 on 26 November 2003, 19:31
Yep, but 5% isn't bad on a vr6  ;D
I never said drilling/filter on k-jets gives a big power increase, the main benefit is mid-range revs. This makes the car much more driveable, without having to rev the tits off it.
Newer engines will not have the same benefit? bollox
The AAA lump is fully electronic system, induction kit works well on it, better infact than on my old 16v motor.
They work because the airflow meter senses more air and so the ecu will add more fuel. This results is more mixture in the chamber, more power. Simple really.
As for Airflow meters(hot wire type) being prone to failure with induction kits, i think this is a fairly dubious statement to make as these items are prone to failure anyway. I haven't had a problem so far.

Well i suppse working on 998cc austin mini engines would have been a bit of an accomplishment seeing as they were sh!t. Also having an OHV arrangement made them quite a bit of a pain. I never had one but worked on a friends and he had his bored to the customary 1340cc with fast road cam, LCB exhaust and twin SU's and it did go like a bit of a bastard.

Used to stop at the slightest hint of damp weather though, wonderous engineering putting the distributor right behind the grille.

Hey shady you really do suck cock dont you.

Fair enough trying it on with me if i didnt know any thing about engines but it appears that you are either making it up or reading from a different book from me.

The mini engine has the cam in the block and the valves are operated by pushrods so it is therefore called a OHV and for you shady that means OVER HEAD VALVE.

The golf engine doesnt have a cam in the block and has it built in to the cylinder head. hence it is called OHC.

OVER HEAD CAM.

So you want to say that the 4 years I spent at college learning city and guilds 383 didnt teach me anything. And the tutors that I had were talking bollox.

You really are a sad man and need to learn the basics yourself. I hope you dont work on your car as you seem to talk out of your ass.

there seems to be the problem with you two.

You seem to have been reading too many books and magazines to come up with your own information.

You resort to pedantry.

I know where the cams go in both motors coz I have built both motors - KR and A.

Technically what you said is correct -  but what I said is also TRUE.

Sidvalves were the old skool motors where valves were - unsurprising not above the cylinder but on the side wall.

Pushrod motors and ohc motors have OHV - overhead valves duh!

please if you can't find a real arguement 9or inaccuracy) please desist from your words of no consequence.

Yet another classic schoolboy error. OHC motors are not called OHV. Lets simplify things for you slim :-

Valves at the top of the cylinder head = OHV
(Thats Overhead Valves)

Camshaft at the top of the head = OHC
(Thats Overhead Cam)

suttle modifications if any. On my mark 2 alls i have done is put the big bumpers on from late gti's and GL's(i think), make it look a bit modern and some 15 inch Ronal Turbo's are on the way. as is G60 arches. Oh and its lowered aswell 80 mm. none of these stupid spoiler things and clad with poxy neon lighting

^^^ yeah but you'll have alot more fun in a modified one! i assume we're talking nasty mods v's standard here? because most feature cars are modified and mint!

sorry just read the start of this thread, bollocks to keeping it stock!! i'm not talking stupid mods but golfs are much better with a few tweaks, ie lowered, nice wheels, nice interior, few performance mods. you can keep it looking street sleeper but even moving the rear wiper improves on an already great design so do the mods but keep them subtle! in my opinion............

modding is ok if it is kept tasteful and is blended as much as poss. with factory. no wings or cack like that

exactly my sentiments over a year ago! although i have changed my mind on 'stock' engines. i want fast.
