I've been seperated from my baby for 10 months now, due to the sub human scum known as the car thief! Dull f*cker tried nicking a car with half an engine! Payed £105 to get it back, and this is what I face:







Both wigns dented, bonnet dented, windscreen cracked, rear passenger window smashed and the locks done in! The grill has been nicked aswell, I think someone at the compound where the car was stored had away with that!

I have a high pitch kind of whistle noise coming from my engine (1990 8v Digi)  I got asked the other night if my car had a turbo fitted 

What could the noise be?

Hi Guys,

I'm a bit new to Golfs...so stay with me if you can, please...though, I do know about susses, n' engines, n' stuff !!

My newly aquired Mk3 gti 8v [which I'm sooooo happy with, n' I've said it before!], but...

You Mk3 gti guys out there......you know how the standard suspension seems to 'bobble' around on less-than-flat top going....like it's a bit weak on rebound damping? LIke it can drive you a bit crazy on 'B' roads...though it seems to stiffen up on corners?

Well, my question; does a decent suspension kit, like Koni, sort out the ride....or not?


I mean DOES IT REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE to the ride???


KR,

Ken.

is it possible to do a straight swap on my driver to put on a 8v gti exhaust mainfold? i want to polish it and then run a gti exhaust system. maybe with a aftermarket back box.

my mate has got a mk1 golf and he replaced his mid silencer box with a straight through pipe. is there one for the mk2?

[sharpie]

full gti interior (3 door), black and grey with chrome bits including door cards?

pretty damn good condition i'd say!

carpets too if theyre worth anything

I'm thinking of stripping out if this will be worth the price of a bucket seat and subframe (!)

Travelling south on the M1 last night i saw a really nice Mk2 golf and was wondering if the owner is registeredon this forum. It looked like a matt green paint job, with a roll cage, was slammed to the floor with withe wall tyres and also had bonnet clips, and i waved at him, so he probably thought i was some weirdo. Although after i overtook him he came flying past, really nice car.

I want to install a new steering wheel soon, but i am unsure which Boss kit i should get. Its a 93 Golf 1.4 L reg. I know some are universal, but just wanna make sure, thanks
