Post by: GUY_GTI on 30 December 2007, 13:24
the rear has cups for adjustment under the springs, i left them out so its just the springs, so its as low as it will go, i have 10mm spacers on the back too and no it doesnt scrape with people in it only a bit on the front. i have changed the arb yeah cause it was scraping the driveshafts i recommend doing it if you like going low

not my cup of tea at all mate, looks like it would be rapid but looks like a dun up banger to be honest. (no offence just giving my opinion) :nerd:
Title: Re: updated pics
Post by: OutlawStar on 02 January 2008, 21:53
Te mk4 is no banger...and i think that the mods that have been done are by no means cheap, but as you say each to thier own. A nice effort in my view,love the front end look!

yeah i agree with Sim show us what you are running before you cast judgement! i dont feel this is the place for negativity as we are all meant to be like minded people, that enjoy the same passion VW motors. If you have nothing positive to add then there is no need to get involved in the thread....

you have to cut loads of the bumper and most of the lower valence away to get it on , guys didnt have air con and even f it did like mine has it still fits in the same place cuse the condenser sits well back , cant really see the point of puttin a front mount behing the radiator and the condenser it would get no airflow what so ever and it would just get heat soaked being that close to the engine !!

i didnt mean to say *banger* i have a mk4 golf gti aswel, thats y im on this site. But i just think that doing what he has done to his golf ruins the look totally and makes it look modified! which is bad! The way to have it is standard look with subtle mods to give a SMART finish! not a boy racer dun up heap! wam bam thank you mam, anyway.....now have a go at me its fun reading them all :):):)

each to there own, personally i fink it looks agressive and mean, not chavved up at all. if yours is the same as every other mk4 then have it that way but dont critisise when someone does something different. A boy racer couldnt afford the mods on his benefits.

Post by: silveradobullet on 05 January 2008, 20:35
i agree!!! This motor looks Sh*t Hot and good effort for goin out and doin it fella!!

its badass and shows power rather than old man heading to tesco wiv his standard mk4??

Any chance of having a look at the engine bay mate? itrigued how different the piping is for a front mount intercooler!  :grin:
Title: Re: updated pics
Post by: mike4golf on 05 January 2008, 22:01
i thought boy racers went for big badly fitted back boxes and neons,not modifications that serve a purpose,and as has been said enhances the look of the car,intercooler looks smart as mate
