I still have my lexus style lights that came with my MK4. You could leave the crome wing mirrors on and I will happily give you my lexus lights. That MK4 would look heavy bruv init.

Cheap car mate and good if the 1 lady owner bit is genuine. And if it did go bang nice engine build with forged internals will do the job nicely.  :cool:

Let us know how you get on.
Golf SOLD. Replaced with a Yamaha Raptor 660 quad and loving it. This will be replaced in August with a Raptor 700. Sold the quad now got a Vectra GSI 2.5 V6 and its the nuts.

I had a good look around the car, One lady owner my arse! is looks like a ex company car with 161K on the clocks which has been sold on to a boy racers and thrashed, I can see a Blow off type dv and cone filter has been fitted to the car in the past. Loads of tar stuck to the inner wing linners, signs of on the spot burn outs or some wicked wheel spind.
The engine dosent look original, the seller says its just had a new oil pump, but I cannot see any evidence, It makes strange sounds from the bottom and top end when cold???  My instinct tells me there is summat not right.  salesman too pushy, telling me its got FSH and paperwork to prove over £2k of recent work, but he could not find them out.

I am still looking for a gti.

The next one to look at is this >>  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-GTI-TURBO-SILVER-225bhp_W0QQitemZ170249389266QQihZ007QQcategoryZ9873QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

its already remapped saves me some money..lol    I remember doing the car and it was very neat, tidy and pulled really well.

I will keep you up dated.

Nick

You re-mapped that exact one yourself???  What a co-incidence!  Looks a very nice car, 225bhp though?  Can you vouch for that?  you should know!

That intake looks a bit sh*t on it.

LOL it has found another 15bhp, the remap on that car is good for 210bhp, to say 225bhp from a 210bhp remap & CAI is a bit ott.    But if I have it it will be soon 250+bhp  .lol
