New ride: '02 MK4 GTI

[kendog]

Hmmm, nice. Let us know how they go... if they leak or fog etc..

[leighaus]

will do. no dramas so far and its been wet.

[Speed]

yes speed, those are the ones..

definitely gives the car a bit of a rejuvenating facelift. And it does take a bit of influence from the polo as well now that you mention it

Thank you! Yeah I saw the polo resembelence straight away but I like round tail lights!

Where are they from? They look a bit more 'legal' and 'crisp' than mine. I think I'd only change if I got a defect notice though.

Go into eBay and type in "golf 4 tail light", You should see them there. Can't remember iof from HongKong or USA. They were priced in US dollars, I remember that much.

Cheers!

Nice one, thanks. I might change my headlights first, 'Joey Mod' style. I'd like to save money & do them myself, as opposed to buying some, but you need a fair whack of time to do it all in one go though.... back in the 'one day' pile for that one.

I tried that mod on my headlights but the sealant wasnt melting, just the casing :/

Mmm Volk! Keep Hella Celis in mind for headlights. Great quality and looks

after, lets just say, every possible thing going wrong to get my car tuned. I finally got my golf back. I wont go into details, but there were some lengthy delays. The companies who organised the tuning made a real effort to make ammends and im happy to have my car back.

The GTI now sports a viezu race tune, and a 2.5 inch stainless steel dump pipe with flex pipe and 100cell race cat, which matches up to my existing billyboat stainless catback system.

Car definately has some more pull, but being 40 degrees the car wasnt exactly in prime running weather, so i didnt give it a good go. They got it up on the dyno, but said it was too bloody hot in the dyno room to get anything of an accurate run and the timing was getting thrown out.

Ive gained around 5 PSI from the tune i'd say, though im fairly confident i have a boost leak, which i was under the impression i had earlier. The car just isnt holding boost very well. It will peak at 4K rpm and then just start to drop away.

Im going to get the system pressure tested and ill make an opinion of the tune once a few tanks of fuel and any errors have been rectified.

I must say, it sounds awesome.



then whilst i had my car back, i decided to test fit the volks on the front.. 17x8 +38 (the other pair are +39, but i tried the 38s on the front)



Think i might need spacers?
