Hey everyone

Just thought i'd say hi to you all in my first post considering in the upcoming months I will be seeking help from many of you when modifying my GTI. :P

I've just recently purchased my second Golf GTI as a mini weekend project/ toy to play with. Its 99 model that is pretty much stock with the exception of a nice pair of Audi shoes. For some reason I like the original body characteristics and wanted to see what sort potential the GTI's have.

Having previously owned a number of Nissans (skylines x2, 200sx x2, 180sx etc), i've decided to jump into something a little more low key and less of a negative attention magnet. At this stage I have no idea what I am up against working on the GTI, however from reading some of the posts and helpful tips I would like to start with some basic bolt on mods such as FMIC, exhaust, EBC etc.


I look foward to interacting with you all and hopefully in due time I will be able to assist newbies myself. ;)

Hi from Melbourne too.

Just purchased a red 5 door golf GTI last weekend. I was advised that it should arrive in 3 months :)

Hey guys

Good to hear there are more Melbourne newbies joining me... :p

I finally picked up my 99 GTI and as much as I love it, I have come across a potential serious issue with the rattling of the transmission in first gear...:(

I have been advised that this is caused by the transmission bearings, and these are not all that cheap to replace... :mad:

If anyone can direct me to a specialist in Melbourne that will be awesome...
