3 months ago i brought a MK3 GTI, a car i have wanted since i started driving.


Still got my mk4 polo for running round when the golf has bad days

Its a standard 2.0 GTI 8v in Black with hella headlights and did have tinted windows all round with smoked chrome alloy wheels (to quote my father "It's a Drug Dealer's Car" Thanks Dad)

There were many problems with the car at first.

Boy Racer Induction kit.

(If i could kill the prevouis owner i would ram the chrome cone where the sun dont shine.)

Suspension.

Look like it was off an earlier Golf or off some other dub

Breather Pipe.

The pipe entering the engine was hanging off and following my dad back from newwark. it stalled everytime i slowed below 30 mph and the brakes/Power steering Died. The reason you always need a cable tie or two.

Tinted Windows

Drivng back after the sale got the attention of the south yorkshire police as i passed them doing 70 and tailed me for about 3 miles and later that night norfolk police, King's lynn bobbies pulled up and thought check the insurance and tinted window was tempted to ask them how many drug dealers in lynn drive blacked out golfs. Fast/Safe/Big : Ideal For Drug Dealers lol


Presently:

Have changed the suspension to standard springs and shocks, Have remove the chrome cone off and wanted some C4 to blow it hell and replaced it with a pipercross filter and didnt pay 40-90 pound for it 50p at a car boot. have changed the alloys to a set of TSW (spider-like) chunky and beefy look. Removed the black tinted windows thought were that it looked to boyracer and plus dont need police from norfolk, lincs, cambs and other counties pulling me every day i go to work.

Parts I have also fitted/fitting at the moment to the Golf:

Bonnet Struts
GTI Carbon Fibre Battery Cover
Angel Eyes and save the Hella Headlights for shows and meets
Blue Wire Tidy Tubing on loose wires
JVC CD player and rewired the whole ISO and Speakers
Handbrake/Gear knob rubber replaced with Cream and Black leather

Here is my Mk3 at work and when i had to have the front end off












This is what a MK3 Looks like when it has a bad day

looks good fella not sure on those wheels imo

looks good altho the venoms and angel eyes aint doing it for me......stick with the hella's i reckon ......just my opinion tho

The rear bearing on the golf where just priceless took the rear disk off and found that the previous owner or to quote Boris-"oiks" as idoit for got the general basics about metal and forgot to gease it up and the only way to explain what happened to the thread and the bearing it was like welding the bearing to the threadand had to by a whole stub hub.
