Hi all Mk4 Owners

[Scottish_Gaz]

Hi all, my name is Gaz and im from Derby. Ive just bought a mk4 Golf gti turbo which i upgraded from a Saxo Vts.

Ive had the Golf now about 2 weeks and i know nothing basically about it, but im now on look for idea and advice from this section.

Ive posted pics below of the car and its the exact way i bought it 2 weeks ago so i aint changed nothing on it, i love golfs but before i start buying stuff and changing bits, i want to make sure i buy the right parts which will suit rather than buying something i will soon change so be grateful if i could have your comments on all bad and good bits about this golf

and when i had the saxo, i was on a saxo owners club and like any other club, there was favourites which everyone went for which suited the saxo and gave it best performance

So there are a few things i have in mind so far that im definetely going to have done to it such as

Remapped
Sort the suspension out as they on coilovers but seem to be rather bouncey
Not sure on the grill so im looking at some others before i choose
and possibly the wheels as not too sure
and lastly the a bonnet bra which im not sure will suit it

please all give me comments on whats popular for golfs and what i should concentrate on for bit more power and looks please

Looing good mate, nice interior, colour coded, not sure about that grill myself either though... hmmm... what year is she mate?

[Ridg]

firstly welcome to the forum!

car looks really clean, looks like the previous spent a few £ on her.

i'd lose the grill too as IMO it looks stupid

[mk4Martin]

mate i would get it remapped and leave it as it is . looks really good. The grill has gotta go btw.

[mk4Martin]

gaz . i noticed you are looking at dump valves too . as rich said forge are a good valve and comes with life time guarantee. the split R or the 007p are both not loud. But if combined with a cold air induction kit then apparently it makes them sound louder.

  Hope you have a big wallet for this hobby 

[Scottish_Gaz]

lol well my wallet big enough for stuff its its worth it, but she doesnt need much done to her tbh, few things need changed and added.

yes guys, i knew the grill would be mentioned like i already mentioned in my first post.

ive seen one that has eyebrows added on to it like a sort of badboyish (sounds chavy but its not) look on it, which i like.

and its a 1999 but have my plate on it so hides the year

Alright mate welcome to the forum!

I would suggest a FK Badgless grill firstly, I dont know where the previous owner got that one but jesus they need to stop making them! You can get the bonnet extensions you are on about from demon tweaks too. Definatly get a remap but before you do that make sure you have a uprated induction kit (panel, cone or cold air), an uprated dv (not atmospheric, it will reek havoc with your ecu and put you in limp mode, 007p is the best as already mentioned) and an exhaust system, if your car is a '99 its more then likely to be an ARZ or AGU with a KO3 turbo, a remap will generally see you around 200bhp.

Once again welcome to the forum

oh and by the way, the best look for a mk4 is smooth and smart 

[Scottish_Gaz]

really finding everyone friendly so thanks again.

yes the bonnett extention is what i meant, do you think they are nice?

has a baileys dv on it atm and a k&n open filter which i want to replace for something different.

doesnt have a aftermarket exhaust as im not to keen on having a loud car unless there is a good example for the golf which isnt too loud but nice sound?
