Newbie GTi owner!
« on: 24 August 2006, 23:51 »
Hi!!

Im Chris and I've just bought my first GTi. Its a red mk2 8v big bumper (!) 5 door model, it was already modified slightly:
-Powerflow full stainless exhaust system with oval exit
-lowered 40mm,
-16" TSW Venoms  :lipsrsealed:
-tinted clusters/indicators/side repeaters,
-debadged front grill etc...!
looks great and goes well despite having 215k miles on the clock!  :cool:

In the process of tidying it up, as it knocks when pulling away (CV joint or ball joint worn i think), a wheel bearing needs replacing and its very tappety until hot.

lets see how it goes...


I don't think a semi will give the same results
