New Girl!
« on: 11 December 2010, 22:46 »
Hi all,

I have joined up today after purchasing a silver '99 Golf GTI (the slow version 115bhp) I have joined mainly to use the classified section as I have plans already!  Change of wheels - will 18"s go on OK?  Fancy some shiny BBS wheels which seem to suit the Golf a lot... Upgrade the suspension - any recommendations of which kit to get (I don't want just springs) And as there is a crack in the front bumper, I thought I might stick an R32 front on? 

Anyway here is a picture of my current weekend toy (she's asleep for the winter hence buying the Golf) sorry couldn't resist posting a picture of her  :drool:



And here is the new daily drive  :grin:

Thanks  :smiley: How much could I lower the suspension with 18s? 40mm?  I don't want it stupidly low, as it's a daily drive and has to be practical!  I just can't seem to keep any of my cars stock!

Welcome! Both cars look nice. Bet the golf feels boring compared to the other beast.

Haha yes it does feel rather slow..  But I modified the RX7 from standard.. so who knows what I'll end up doing with the Golf  :tongue:  Although I don't suppose I can do a lot to the engine I have..

Thank you :)   Never heard of Santa Monica's..  Googled them.. they look very dated tbh.
