Title: Newbie mk3 owner needs advice
Post by: vanish on 20 January 2004, 10:52

Hello All,
I've just bought my 1st Golf. It's a red '93 mk3 8 valve. It's only my 2nd car and although it's way quicker and much more fun than my old '87 318 I want more!! Has anyone got any recommendations or advice about basic upgrades/mods that I can make to improve the performance. I'm not exactly loaded so please bear this in mind! Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance.

 :)        I fitted an induction kit on a 205 Gti, it just made the car louder with the induction sucking away like mad, same thing with a Fiat Tipo 16v.

vanish, dunno how old u are, but if u start firing big exhausts, air filters, racing cams, chips, turbo conversions etc then your gonna be hit hard by mr insurance.

I thought about an exhaust, but im waiting cos i was only 18 when I got my 8v GTI... and the insurance wouldnt let me mod it.
