Hi all been a long time since i have been on a forum and is about time i shared the little knowledge i have of mk3 Golf Gti.

I have had 2 in the last 6 months and both proved fairly reliable(i say fairly due to previous owners not knowing what they are doing)i am looking to highly mod my GTI i am not on a budget at such and in no rush.

I am starting with styling paint shop shortly and new banded steels coming next week i will upload picture shortly.

I have sorted/fixed(Bodged) a lot of problems my self with this car.

I have a complete spare engine gearbox and many other parts as i broke my other gti when buying this 3 door version.

Mods on car so far
*De Cat
*Ported Head
*Ported Inlet manifold To match head
*Very ported Throttle Body
*Power Flow Cat Back
*Modded Air Box With Cold Air Feed

Both my GTI Have had a really lumpy idle but run fine would love to no cause solution for this problem.

De cat won't make a difference apart from noise as the standard Cat is not that restricted. Stick a lightened and balanced flywheel,  best mod I have done to my 16v :wink:

Lumpy idle could be plugs/leads/dizzy/rotor or just a leaky vacuum hose or something else!

My car has never idled smooth.
