I'm BACK! and looking for a RALLYE!!!
« on: 02 November 2005, 13:18 »
Hi Guys

Well i'm looking for another Golf, but this time something slightly different.. A Rallye  :grin:

If anyone has one or knows someone who is looking on selling one, please let me know. Looking to spend anything from 3k to 5k.

Cheers

Hey,

Good to see you back and making such a wise decision ;) Buy a black Rallye then the Team Rallye Muppet will have one in each colour  :tongue:

havent put them on yet, safely tucked away until spring time.. they came off a rallye that had no arch mods though that was lowered a fair bit :cool:

here's the ebay ad i got them from

Hi

Nice.. they look good.. Not too keen on the Red Rallye..

My advice to you would be, keep them tucked up in the garage until the summer and fit them then, and then remove again went the weather gets poor. I would also ensure you are using a low dust brake pad. These rims corrode very easily mainly do to the machined deep dish rim. Also if you have metal tyre values i would remove these also and fit rubber ones, most of the time the metal versions are made of cheap metal and will increase the speed of corrosion on the rims.

Not sure what rims i will go with next.. fancy some real wide real small rims.. could be fun!

Anyways i need a Rallye first.. Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

Hi Mate

Thanks for all the details.. Its really appreciated!  :smiley:

Still after a little more information, i would be using the Rallye daily, my journey to work is only 11 miles there and 11 miles back so its not a great deal just wondered how it would cope with that. Plus i dont want a backbreaker, my old MK2 With coilovers was so so bumpy! dont wanna go back to that again!

Cheers
