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.

Welcome mate

Lumpy idle has many causes so you had best do a Search in the Mk3 Section.
My car that I have had for over 10 years has never idled smooth!

i Have had 2 Gti 16v and both idle the same starting to think its normal for age as it drives so well funny enough my golf with 175k drives better than my 120k GTI.
