Do you keep it stock or do you "mod"?
-
STOCK!
-
stock I agree.
-
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.
-
tunes arent bad either, no cutting the parcel shelf or door trims tho!
-
Bit of both really? More towards the stock side :D
-
best answer possible i think. i was asked if i was gonna get some 'phat' 17's or 18's. people dont understand that im happy with 15 bbs, splitties would be nice tho ;)
-
Stock of course! maybe a few minor mods.
-
Subtle, smoothing mods. Cant stand these concord winged, bonnet scooped, UFO glowing, fast and furious, tarts cars.
-
Q car sleeper look all the way
std on the outside
Beast under the bonnet
nice BBS rims
single exit zaust
hide the stereo - no ICE in my car - only in my drinks!!! ;D
-
i think modding like that is called degrading and modding like what we do (sniff) is complementing and improving
-
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!
-
Street Sleeper? What is that? AM I TOO OLD?
-
nah never to old! basically standard car with a well tuned fast engine with big bhp. surprise surprise mr m3! ;)
-
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.

shame you can't weld your rear doors up.
Whoops! - nice family car chap

5 or 3 it still wears a v! besides thats what the sniff was for. sorry dry humour. didnt realise you didnt understand.

Agree with slim, all I need now is the BBS rims ;).

you've got quite a sense of humour.
Is that why you bought a five door?
Or was it dark when you went to see it?
-
it was now you come to mention it. did your big bumpers fall off? oh no its not got any! you like little things then?
-
I'm not harsh, just don't like shirt lifters
-
did your big bumpers fall off? oh no its not got any!
erm - I have a big bumper Golf mate - now you see what you did?
You made an assumption
Which makes you an ass

Good to see pictures taken in the rain, always covers up a dodgy car that.
-
I'm not harsh, just don't like shirt lifters

You shouldn't get it on your knob then :D

thank you slim. I'll sleep safer knowing that you fancy me you f**king queer.

my first
do you want a prize?
Oh wait look - another 5 door
did you guys buy a job lot - or are you genuinely clueless?
-
Well put a pic up of your new car then. DOH

thank you slim. I'll sleep safer knowing that you fancy me you f**k**g queer.
another closet homosexual - bravo!
can you keep the homophobic retorts off the board - coz it shows your lack of intelligence.

Clueless? you don't even understand how an engine works. What was it , you need a richer fuel mixture for more power ? not more mixture. You dick
-
at least we dont have to pretend anything, mines a 5 door 8v 92 j and im not ashamed. evidently you are jealous of our big bumpers tho. see what you have gone and done, humiliated yourself and you called me an ass!
-
Yeah I always wondered what the "metering unit" was for.
-
Well put a pic up of your new car then. DOH
haven't had a chance to take one with a digi camera - I normally use 35mm.
I will.

I've heard you normally use 35mm

if i thought you had a clue I'd give you avalid response - you're deluded
but funny - i'll give you that
-
I think Slim thinks the k-jet system works like the FSI engine.

im stitching it up as we speak!

Thats why you couldn't answer, cos you are all mouth and no trousers.
-
Well yeah its an easy mistake to make for those book readers out there, after all the fuel delivery is proportional to the rise of the air flow meter flap.
-

hmmm... lying and making a fool of himself a++
-

Yep thats your response when you are out of your depth. Go back to ya books.
-

According to slim if the proportion stays the same then there is no power increase. Do you smell dogsh!t?
-
that was clever - i saw what you did there.
Do you reckon i'm bothered what a keyboard warrior such as yourself thinks about me?
nah
stick with your five doors and your boats
I'll stick with my car and my porn mags
-
isn't it time you three were in bed?
your parents will be cross if you use the compooter all night.
there's school tomorrow
-
didnt you start out like that tho and are now turning it round (trying) cos it all went pete tong? you are the one ending up with egg on your face.
-

Go back to ya mags and have a wank. i'm off to bed with my imaginary wife.
-
resorting to childish replies?
my turn!
hahahahahahahahahahahaha your mum.
-
Egg in his face? more like sh!t
-
funny i'm the one who knows nothing - when you were the saddo who c&p'd a webpage with a bunch of sh!t to back up what you say.
you're a bit 'in adequate' aren't you?
-
so whats wrong with 5 doors and boats???
-
I've heard he tinkers on his "air flow meter" with a fisher price tool kit.
-
yeah you two were great - fanks for the fun.
:-* :-*
-
so whats wrong with 5 doors and boats???
funny
-
nothing! slim just got learnt thats all
-
This has gone mad since I went down the pub!!!
Will catch up on all this tomorrow...........need to drink more beer and watch car chases. ;D ;D
-

-
I've heard he tinkers on his "air flow meter" with a fisher price tool kit.
maybe I can 'tinker' with my Fisher Price tool kit on your five door and fix it so you have the right amount
-
nothing! slim just got learnt thats all
learnt that you three are a bunch of idiots - who are ignorant on so many levels.
-
yep i sure am!
-
Well I've leant that you have no substance to your rantings and have a very basic knowledge of mechanics in general, also you have no sense of humour and have to rely on pornographic material to get your sordid kicks.
-
give it up slim! admit you are beaten and got caught out!
-
didnt you start out like that tho and are now turning it round (trying) cos it all went pete tong? you are the one ending up with egg on your face.
Mate - you want to get your facts str8 - read the thread in question where your friend gets it all wrong - Oh he's 'your' expert is he?
Bad luck.
I think you find VR6 was wrong on that one particular matter - I haven't lost any sleep over it.
evidently it has rialled him
-
you talking about dates or bumpers? i was talking about bumpers. personally year is all goo i owned an 83 a and 2x j plates so nevermind.
-
i'm on a g plate valve
all i've had are valves - and they're all gravy
-
give it up slim! admit you are beaten and got caught out!
never beaten
only stirring - my pork sword
-
i never owned a 16 i have looked at 14! different 8's and 16's in the past 2 months, most were cack, i found a 5dr 8v 2 owners, 97k, 14 stamps an the book, all old mots,and an inch of receipts. im more concerned about drivetrain and bodywork than number of doors.
-
5 doors are always cheaper - I could have had a J plate on 90k for 1300
but I wanted three door - better shape
cost me a pinch over a ton for my str8 3 dr
-
by a ton you mean 100bar? fair enough about doors, i had a three before vr6 will vouch
-
nothing! slim just got learnt thats all
learnt that you three are a bunch of idiots - who are ignorant on so many levels.
I've learnt that you are an arrogant prick who can't admit when you are wrong.
-
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
-
my god '6 you really don't like him

or did the g60 limited designer have a family and fobbed everyone off with that 5 door b*llsh*t lol

-
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.
-
well said ;)
-
i do have to agree tho mod! take note slim! ;)
-
100% STOCK
David
-
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.

Not necessarily. Mine is an 89 with the red line grille and small bumpers. I didn' think they came out with the 16v until 87?
-
MrVr6 - I really have struck a nerve with you ain't I?
You want to chill out - admit you made a mistake - and we'll get along famously.
Or
You can carry on trying to keep your pride in place and look a bit of a plum.
I was working on A series engines when you were still eating your Farley's.

Yeah mate course you were. Your the one that looks like a plum or should i say chump. Hows that engine work again? and yes i will keep posting as i can't let you get the last word. :-*
-
If I knew exactly what you were arguing about - I might leave it. But I don't.
You are a man bothered by pride and can't let it go.
Oh and how an engine works - i'll draw you a diagram - with numbered areas so you can colour it in.
What do you want to prove?
Do you think the ability to change a cam tensioner or change your rings makes you a better Golf enthusiast than I - then you must admit that that kind of elitist bolix is best left in the school playground.
I know about engines thank you for your concern
Do you know what your arguing about? Please refresh my STM.
Mr 'just drill airbox and add cams' for speed man
LOVL
-
A man with pride? i think your one to talk. Mr. Slimey Shadys gotta get the last word, i think not. I just love ripping it out of you, as you talk a good show but can't run one. As for the airbox and cams, learn the basics of engines mate, its not that hard.
I've got nothing to prove, just great fun niggling at you. If you don't like it then don't be a sarcastic sh!t :-*
-
I see you never replied to http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?board=7;action=display;threadid=3180;start=50
What's up cat got your tongue?
If you want to mouth off at least have something to back it up ;) :D :-*
-
Mr. Slimey Shadys
I see what you did there and it was genius - how long did that take you?
MRVR6 please c&p what I posted which is technically incorrect.
all you are proving is that you are a whiner
-
whiner? your a bullsh!tter ;)
-
Come on you two, it's like David and Maddie from Moonlighting!
-
whiner? your a bullsh!tter ;)
Please cut and paste what I said which was bullsh1t
I know why you haven't - coz you can't
-
It's gone very quiet over there!
;D
-
Look at the link i just posted chump ;)
-
It says nothing except you can't read.
Look what ARE you arguing with me over? DO YOU KNOW?
PLease tell the audience - and enlighten me
-
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??
-
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 :-*

I think 5% isn't bad for under ?40, OH SARCASTIC GOD :-*
-
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 -
-
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.

yay bi tch fight!!

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.
-

LOL
good job VR6 fixes your motors
What config is a Golf engine - indeed most motors made after 1952?
I don't recall seeing a Sidevalve mini
you better check your fuel flaps again!

I don't fix his motor, he used to work for VW, chump! ;)
-

So you are saying that all golfs have an OHV arrangement?
-
I give up
where are the valves on these other motors?
I don't even think any of their engines are anything other than dohc.
Please enlighten me oh sage - id like to know if a Golf had a pushrod motor! :D
-
Do you know the difference between OHV and OHC engines?

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.
BY the way Mod - I never mean to 'try' anything with you or indeed anyone. I just take the piss and give good honest advice (based on what I have done) when I can.
VR6 just seems to have an inferiority complex - or his level of dry humour is way beyond my comprehension/.
::)
-
You seem to have the problem in that your trying to pick flaws in what VR6 and myself say when by your own admission it is techinally correct.
I dont really care mate but I find it highly entertaining and if you spent as much time in your garage as you did online picking holes in correct statements made by ourselves then you might learn something.
-
"spent as much time in the garage as i did online"?
priceless - check out your two's post total!!

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.
BY the way Mod - I never mean to 'try' anything with you or indeed anyone. I just take the piss and give good honest advice (based on what I have done) when I can.
VR6 just seems to have an inferiority complex - or his level of dry humour is way beyond my comprehension/.
::)
No you are the one with the problem Slim, you quote nonsence arguments then get all upset when you are sussed out yet again. Lift your bonnet, look on the inlet manifold DOHC, that means DUAL OVERHEAD CAM.
-
where do you come from man?
you've lost the plot!
you don't know when to walk away.
LOL :D
-
Pushrod motors and ohc motors have OHV - overhead valves duh!
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)
Hope that helps you understand :-*

Yeah course you have sweetheart, whats an engine? :-*

Yep, i got a sense of humour, i'm pissing my pants looking at what you have written :D

Go and think about what you're doing here.

I'll go back to the "facts" and leave you to go read your latest edition of my first engine.
"Pushrod motors and OHV motors have overhead valves. overhead valves DUH"
You amuse me slim you really do. you have this habit of trying to be smart and then put your foot in it everytime.
Whilst VR6 was eating his farleys you were getting ideas from the packet.
-
lol what a class argument i red it all (nowt wrong with 5 doors)
-
Go and think about what you're doing here.
I know what i'm doing here, making you look like a donkey. :-*
-
Thrash her like a ginger step child
Good to see your a paedophile too :D
-
saves people climbin all over your car with 5 doors n i can only find 5 door golfs for sale at the mo i not come across any 3 door but i will shut up now :-X
-
when you've grown up I might reply to you

no mate, you carry on praising 5 doors ;)
i like it
-
i dont no what i am talking about i am new to all this car stuff i will learn more then i will return
-
Good to have you here rob. I have a 5 door as you can see from my pic and its more practical compared to the 3 door.
Slim only likes 3 doors because its harder for the kiddies to escape when he stops at the traffic lights.
He always has a bag of sweets in his car, You need to ask yourself why.
-
Rob118 - where you from?
-
back to the insults yeah?
nice
Got anymore?
I'll be sure to write them all down so I can 'learn' to be as funny as you.
Now I think you've made a big a fool of yourself without my intervention.
I think you find I did mention VW's were dohc - but you probably skipped that part with your enthusiasm to find a falacy in my statement.
But face it you have no arguement - you just have a Napoleon complex.
;)

DOH. school boy error number two.
So your saying vw's are DOHC, what engines is that applicable too?
Or are you generalising with the above statement?
-
Now I think you've made a big a fool of yourself without my intervention
Thats not how i'm seeing it chump. Come on write some more technical garbage, give us all a laugh :D :D
-
I don't even think any of their engines are anything other than dohc
Really? what about the mk1 DX engine? is that a DOHC?
-
Rob118 - where you from?
North east near whitby
-
Know the area well - used to work at Staxton Wold, by Scarbourough about 10 years ago - some great roads up there over the moors for a bit of thrashing
-
yeah i been down a few roads on the moors i no quite a few good ones but i am only drivin a ax at the mo and it is a heap of junk n hardly works so i cant really get any speed
-
Don't like much modding apart from maybe lowering, alloys, air filter and ice. Saving up for some 17"s or 18"s alloys for mine.
-
I like subtle mods that enhance an already great car.
-
I'm very concious of not making it look to 'bad-boy'. Just want it to look a bit meaner and slicker. 8)
-
nice old thread retrieval.
i like standard but im not one to diss other peoples tastes - i think some cars can look really nice with some tasteful modification. heres some from the sussex carz brighton cruizers for your amusement 8)

I dont like the "all show no go cars" that a lot of people make.
fair enough talking a good shop but you got to be able to run one too.
;)
-
After looking at Vix's photos, what the far canal is going on there ! That last one must be scraping on the ground it's that low ! Each to their own, subtle mods in my opinion can make a car look fantastic, but people can take them too far as per the photos.
-
i like to mod and make it mine but at the same time be able to put it back to standard at any time, I agree with most about suspension and tuning mods being ok though.
-
Mate this is an old old post i remeber when this started first time round!
-
yeah funny that, I thought it rang a bell. ;)
-
just re-read it we were well harsh to slim
-
Id take a mint car over anything.
All my cars (3) have been mint.
fast, slow, whatever ... if it aint mint, it aint going inmy garage! ;)
-
To be fair i have to totally agree with you there, something at last! ;)
-
YEY ... GRAOUP HUG... mk2 hippy agrees with mk3 cool dude
LMAO!!!! cool dude... how "new kids on the block" is that?? LMAO
-
I really resent the mk2 hippy comment from the flat cap mk3 boy ;)
;D
-
do you remember new kids on the block? man what sh!te!
-
so what is the difference between over head valve and over head cam?
sh!t wheres slim when you need him?
-
new kids on the block were cool (not)... and sorry, it was mk1's that were the days of flower power and hippys.
-
;D im appeased now! dis my car as much as you like just dont get personal mo fo ;D :P :-*
-
f**kin Brillaint thread :D

reinstate 6!
timeless humour :D
-
lol reminds me of wot vr6 was like in the old days!
hell bring him back!! he'll be good for a fri nite when ur skint!!
-
mate this is an old skool thread! i remember when this started! ;D
-
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
-
gotta love the LED washer jets........................ :laugh:
-
Keep them standard they will be worth more in the long term :smiley: :wink:
-
^^^ 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.
-
comon boys get with the linguistics, its OEM+ :cool:
-
I think its obvious where i stand on this subject! :wink:
-
well, duuuuh
So standard it is :huh: :wink:
-
Why of course!!! I mean, could you really see me driving a car around with a bodykit? Common! i saw a Mk2 with white wheels today! What kind of persion would drive that? :wink:
-
And you forgot, what about the trademark stripe down the side :wink: :wink:
-
LOL im so sick about those dam stripes i will happly have a great big logo down the side of any company that paints my bloody doors for me!!!! Im starting to put adverts up now!!
-
LOL
-
How about a tin of black paint and a roller, i'll do it for a pint :wink:
-
