[mikinoz]

Your sticker choice is spot on!

Mate looks good... What engine mods you running, does it have a 4 or 5 spped box... Sits nice... Not sure about the exhuast though mate :(

Looks good though give us a full spec list... :D

its pretty much just the standard 1600 and four speed box, motors got 150,000 original Km's and made 41kw at the wheels when it was out of tune and running fairly bad.

mainly just fixing and replacing things on it at this stage instead of really modifiying it. had the carby rebuilt, fully tuned, rust profesionaly removed, drums rebuilt, new disks, calipers, lines, and thousands of little bits and peices.

has electronic ignintion, pod filter, oil catch can, cannon muffler:rolleyes: and a few other bits and pieces, lowered, GTI front lip, clear indicators and new school wipers, big stereo, sparco knob, sparco pedals, tacho and shift light.

wouldn't mind getting some decent wheels for it and maybe a few more engine mods so if anyone can help me out that would be awsome.

please get rid of that cannon...n:

please get rid of that cannon...n:

x2 I wasn't going to say it but its now been said :D

[slamdmk1]

haha yea i know its terrible :(
what would you suggest i replace it with ??

[static1800]

standard pipe, its a stock engine, dont need anything else ;)

A milo tin

[slamdmk1]

nah think ill just have a 3 inch jun spec trumpet bonering up to the roof ! ha

[el_foolio]

lol, and the big old shift light tacho seems overkill when you have stock one right in front of you?

[gldgti]

standard pipe, its a stock engine, dont need anything else ;)

c'mon man...

i just put extractors and 2.25 inch all the way back on my standard 1600 and its got a bit more go, more low rpm torque than standard.

a full exhaust is an investment, because you can keep all or most of it with other engines/mods etc.

nice golf. love the look, i'm glad someone here appreciates mexico beige and the clean look.

i don't often say this, but some taseful chrome wheels would look sweet on your ls mate, or even better, chromes and widened steelies are the stuff.

not a fan of the dash ornaments, but hey, its your car ;-)

[slamdmk1]

cheers mate, your about the first person thats said something good about it lol

[static1800]

nah its a nice clean car mate, i just have a personal opposition to cannons ;)

[GoLfMan]

tis a nice clean car mate, i just really dont like the cannon muffler ;)

[99gti]

Yeah - not a fan of the cannon. A couple of raised pipes at the back would look sweet!!! But otherwise - it's a nice ride :)

Yeah an exhuast like you have said would be great, heaps of touqe and some great noise...

Keep the pics coming slamdmk1...

cheers guys,
the cars actually off the road at the moment as some idiot in a 4x4 reversed into my front drivers side and ruined a lot of the fender and bumper etc.
I have put a new bumper and the bumper end bits on and bought a new fender just need to get it resprayed.
I also got rid of the large tacho and shift light.
also the cops in my area are having a field day defecting cars so im kinda scared about putting the car back on the road.

Sweet good to hear u got rid of the ricer bits... As for the exhaust go for a 2.25inch straight through muffler... That will bring out the note in your 8V...
