help needed! what next??
« on: 10 January 2006, 20:38 »
ok so i've just got my golf back from having loadsa work done to get it to go round corners and stop!  :grin:

and after a boring afternoon at work i've drawn up a "to do" list of stuff i still wanna do,

1) sort out some new wheels and tyres (can't decide weather to refurb my existing ones, get G60 steelies or some nice alloys... :undecided:)
2) fit induction kit
3) new number plates (mine front one is cracked! as pointed out in my previous thread..... :rolleyes:)
4) get central locking
5) put light tint on windows
6) i also need to sort out the timing.... but i don't really understand that bit, being new to this!!

anyway i'd apreciate any advice on how hard these things are to do/how to do em/what you think in general??!!!

cheers!  :smiley:

oh i've also got a dent in my drivers door i need to push out..... i managed to do it myself with my arse!!! don't ask....... :lipsrsealed:

all easy enough to do and nothing majorly expensive...

only thing i'd say is don't bother with an induction kit, just get a decent panel filter and it'll be just as effective.
team grumpy....... its a way of life, not a forum post

finger out of arse then mate! get them fitted.

As far as car audio goes your better spendin more on less, a simple HU with a good processor in it, good 4 channel amp, pair of components for the front and a 10/12" sub for the boot is the best way imo.
