New member mk3 8v gti
« on: 04 December 2011, 13:54 »
hello, thought i would experiment with posting.

i have a mk3 2.0L 8v gti, been doing her up slowly, starting with the small things ie. new areal, cd player, bbs alloys, side repeaters, front strut brace.. been thinking about adjustable coilovers but just cant decide if i want to splash out or go cheap on them ! all advice or comments welcome..

would post a photo but if i'm honest i was baffled by how to insert it

oh and my gti has the classic cutting out problem, i think its the coil.. its has been ok for the last couple of months as stupidly i put it into the garage to get it fixed (before i started learning about cars) and spent around 450 on it, in the end after loads of BS then bipassed the fuel pump so it runs perminantly.. seems to work

cheers rob on the photo help, managed to get up a photo even if it is a few weeks old ! fingers crossed there should be a shiny ish picture below this.. will have a crack at cleaning the throttle body on the weekend, think i might change the oil this weekend too as just picked up a filter off of ebay for few squid. 

will try and get a decent pic up on the weekend after a clean as i have some ideas which i need criticism on ..
