    Unhappy Help on Golf!

    Hello fellow Golfers,
    Just got my first car ( golf sr1.6 ) last month.
    There are acouple of questions i like to ask.
    1. What kind of products should i use to clean my interior creamy seats!,
    I've tried almost everything and it leaves these ugly dark coloured oval rings.
    2. I have $3,000 to spend on my Golf and wandering if that is enough to swap my engine for a 2.0l.

    I'm still a newbie at this any help will do, thanks alot!

    Dont know about the engine swap, I doubt it tho.

    As for cleaning, plenty of advice around on that topic, jump on finalinspection and do a search. Most of the guys there are car cleaning nuts and will be able to help you for sure.

    Please don't spend $3000 on your 1.6

    Save up and atleast start with a 2.0 before you do any mods.
    You could almost sell your 1.6 and buy a 2.0 with that sort of money for a changeover.

    Pay $100 and get the interior professionally dry cleaned.

    As for mods;

    MOTOR:
    Cold air induction (DIY)
    Panel Filter

    SUSPENSION:
    Adjustable Shocks
    Lowering Springs or
    Coilovers
    SwayBars front and rear
    16/17/18 inch rims
    Decent Tyres

    Cosmetics:
    Tint
    Fog Lamps
    Skirts
    Sills
    Stubby Antenna.

    1.6 is an honest car, not a spaceship.

    Respect
