Title: Hi from newbe.
Post by: Bazza on 24 September 2006, 02:40

Hi Dubber's  :cool:

Just want to say i'm loving the forum so far, and wonder if I can tap the fountain of knowledge that is  "GolfGTI.co.uk". Being new to modding, I need some advice/review on some thing's I'd like to add to my VW.

Having driven diesel's  :nerd: for a few year's now, I finally got a Golf, and i'm very pleased with it. It's my second one actually. the first one is sadly  :cry: no longer with us. It was totally standard  :wink:
Lowered 40mm on standard 14" alloys
K&N cone filter
Alpine mp3 headunit
6" component's (200 watts rms) x4
2000 watt 4ch amp
10" Kicker comp sub's x2
600 watt 2ch amp

I now have a new toy  :grin:
'M' reg Mk3 Tdi Metallic Grey on 14" steel's. 73,000 miles FVWSH. Mechanically it is sound, cam belt was done at 60,000  :huh: It is running 256mm solid disc's, so I was planning on getting these.

and

Suspension wise i'm confounded by the different setup's. I was recommended by a mate to get Jamex (who had spring/shock's on a mk1) to get these.

But I don't know if they are any good.

Also I was planning on getting this,
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4643170067&fromMakeTrack=true
would it be a wise decision? From reading the forum, I gather that it can make the ride a little harse, but I was planning on only doing the front first and seeing what it's like. Or would you suggest doing it all.

I was also planning on getting a Toad AI606 alarm, cause I don't like clifford and have heard mixed reports.

Your help with any of these point's would be greatly appreciated.

Questions a bit specific for this section. Best if you ask them in the Mk 3 section mate.
