It speaks volumes that those attracted to them also seem to be attracted to Golf3 8V GTIs.

It's your eyes that need sorting out, not the lights.

 :grin:

says the guy riding round in a pile of crap that looks like it belongs in a breakers yard... :grin: :grin: :grin:

oh and the 3 wont be a 8v for too long either, diy 20vt conversion on the cards..

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Do what you want it's your car, but think about other road users at the same time :afro:

What this?



You must have some dead posh breakers yards round your way.

Maybe it's one of my other cars you're referring to.  This one?



then you've missed the point, rather.

Much like a G3 8V GTI.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Actually it is (and I doubt you'd complain if it was on the driveway of your house):



That's an Audi A6 Quattro drivetrain underneath.

And the Golf's a third car.

Does the LazyThingy have a relay kit fitted?  If not, must try harder, rather than just spending money on something when you're putting out too few volts to make the bulbs effective.

Since when has any G3 been 'slick'?

They're just lardy and adding tat like HIDs to them won't make it any better.
