Hi all! :laugh: 
Just bought myself a mk111 golf, its a 1.9 diesel.  Makes my mouth water with all you lot with GTIs. lol.  But its my first car, and i aint passed my driving test just yet, just got through my theory yesterday.
So now im looking for any ideas to make it faster, at a cheap cost.  All help welcome.  Oh, and ive been promised a new set of alloys for my car as a passing present... any recomendations?
Cheers ma' dears.

hello

don't know a thing about making deisels faster, soz.

For alloys i'd get some nice vw or audi ones cos i think alot of aftermarket alloys make golfs look less classy. imho.

TY.
Dont even know if its possible to make it faster, but this is the place to find out. 
Been after a golf for years, just had to have one, so long as the engine was a decent size.  I'll have a look at those wheels, ta hunny.

not really much you can do to a diesel to make it faster, except look after it and bolt on a turbo, but then that isn't really an option.

As for wheels, for a mk3 you really want a set of alloys that are probably 12 spoke maximum as the more spokes there are on a mk3 the worse it looks IMO.

Something like some TT wheels, or some 5 spokes would suit it nicely.

Try http://www.styledynamix.co.uk/ or http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/ they usually have some good setups for cars.

Remember the PCD on a mk3 is 5x100 (generally unless early model) so be careful to ask when you are buying.

Welcome to the forum. I've seen some of these diesels and they don't half shift.

Thanx all.
Hey Gibby are ya being sarcastic or what? lol. :tongue:  Dont know much bout cars just yet, but im learning fast, so i could be easily sucked in.   
Not had chance to open it up yet cos my bloke wont let me just yet.... once i pass this test though its probably the first thing i'll do.

No I wasn't being sarcastic honest  :embarassed: I've driven behind a mk3 TDi before today and I don't know what was in it, but it was really smokey and really shifting.
