    Ooh I don't know about that. Love my aristos to death, would be hard to let go. It's only a set of wheels but I reckon they're just going to keep appreciating in value and just how good of an oem wheel they are. But they do suck up alot of torque. They freaking weigh a tonne

    2000 MKIV - Saved from sure automotive death.

    They're such a nice wheel it's ridiculous! Didn't know that though, a price to pay to look that good?

    Got some fk streets on their way to my door, thanks for the tip man!

    Alot of people have got the Fk's now. Hope you're happy with them and they're not to bad. You notice a difference but the 1.6/2.0 isn't fast to start with so it doesn't really matter I guess.

    Aha yeah acceleration is definitely a bit non existent but I love my car. My build will be starting in the very early in the new year! Speaking of power, A good mate just bought a 94 vr6.. Envy isn't even descriptive enough haha

    Cars now being parted out. Aristos, coilovers and all other Bits available.


    SIKE! Bought a 1.8t wreck and am now in the process of converting it. More pics to come in the following days. #timeforboost.
    Here is a couple of photos to.

    Read above post again. #trolled

    As a few of you guys know I've finished the 1.8t conversion. Just gotta keep updating the thread.
    Bought the car from Matt @ Camden GTI, cant thank him enough for helping out even after the conversion was done.
    125xxxkm & Full log books. (What a steal!)

    Day i got the car (Friday)




    That afternoon had the 1.6 front end off and wiring out.


    Unfortunately i didn't get any photos of engine out and in. So we skip to the 1.8t already in the car


    Check out the gnarly oil leak on the manifold... Started about a week before it was pulled out..


    Braap Braap


    Still have plenty more things to do, but things are getting done slowly but surely. K04 time in the near future

    Little update.
    PCV delete and vented catch can install.


    And some killawatts for the new 288mm brakes.

    Sorry for the crap pics. New phone broke so I'm using my old Sony
    Also started polishing the cam cover. Coming up real nice so far!
