[caputo9]

That looks like the one i bought man! Was a while ago now but it looks about right

[caputo9]

Well well well guys! I've Got an update for you all!
Tonight I bought a MK4 GTI in Reflex Silver
It's drives great so far and mods will come soon



Enjoy!

ooooh very nice!!
looks tidy?
stock as a rock?

get that dog bone mount swapped out for a poly one and the usual suspension and stage 2 mods/tune and you will be a very happy boy

Now you wished you kept your old suspension?

[caputo9]

Thanks Guys!
It is pretty clean for its age besides a few little scratches here and there but not too noticeable.
And yes it is stock as a rock haha! The old owner put a brand new oem clutch and flywheel in last week so that was a bonus, but would've liked to put an upgraded one in aha. But whats done is done, i just have to work on it as it is

Wheels and brakes are first on the list being that they need replacing and then more mods will follow!
Will possibly order coils next week depending on how uni treats me haha :/

I could say that i wished i kept my suspension, but then i wouldn't have got the sale, as the guy wanted my 1.6L as it was. A few people have seen it getting around recently in Adelaide so ill be funny if i pull up next to him some time soon lol

bonus on the clutch replacement!!

if you can score the caliper spacers from the audi's and upgrade to the 312mm rotors you will be sweet!
otherwise stock setup works fine.

look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Thanks blackers!
I'm looking for the 312mm carriers but not having any luck with them
If you or someone else could point me in the right direction that would be awesome
I'd much rather upgrade them over going with stock again aha

[blackers10]

There was a set for sale on here somewhere not long ago

[caputo9]

Thanks man,
Yeah im pretty sure they sold so i missed out on them

Considering i cant find any im just going to stay with the original sizes and throw some new disks and pads in

There will be some exciting new updates that will be shared at the end of this week
