Yeah mine does this too! I figured it was cos it is lowered with dead stiff supspension  :shocked:

yeah that will probably do it too!!!! that reminds me I need to replace the trolly jack that broke.... using the widow maker to get it on axle stands is annoying me slightly.......

i been a bmw driver for last 15 years , and the only reason i didnt buy the same again ( e30 325 ) was i couldnt find one cheap enough ! ( in spain cars are VERY expensive ) ..so i thought , ok , ive got a couple of grand , what can i get thats german ? the i saw golfs were round that price range ...SOO..then came the research , engines etc..and i thought , ok if im gonna get a golf its gotta be the 150bhp cos im used to 170 with the beemer....then i thought , well i dont drive like an 18yr old anymore..so why do i need all that hp ? then bought the 8v....when im drivin sometimes i think , ye the beemer was tons better , felt miles more solid , smoother etc ...then i think ..but its foookin good fun  :smiley:

all in all , i love the one i bought , and i really don't think i need any more power
