You might want to check what the alternator is doing - seems like a short life-span.

And also the bora's, GTI's, cabby's and R32 (slightly different) all got the 3 spoke steering wheels and the lower spec golfs didn't I believe

they were meant to be daily spec so they will be going back in 5mm more then that most likely... but ill see.
ahhh ok. find it wierd the base model bora has so much difference to the base model golf even though they are basically the same thing

boarder line height? the back of my car clears 100mm or is VERY close im pretty sure, but nar, that has the weight on it plus the extra deg of camber i run so thats how they would sit with tyres.

FINALLY rolled the front arches. thanks for stu, josh and ryan.
what was left of my front arch liners has now been removed.
the passengers side finally got to release the 12 years of rubbish!

Was going to lower it more all round now that im not rubbing but cant due to the drivers drive shaft being in the way, and my tie rods need flipping if i go any more

rolling.

18x9 up front. only need a bit more low to tuck on stock guards (no pulling, just rolling)

Leak tested the golf after a random event ?????? Gave the car a boot full and "felt" like a boost pipe came off (loud woosh and poor idle) pulled over and did a quick check of pipes and nothing seemed out of place so pulled the maf n drove home with the turbo sounding louder than normal (spooling /rush of air sound) .Had a beer and some nuts then decided to take a look and still couldnt find anything although pulled the diverter valve off n gave it a check ,cleared codes n plugged maf back in and issue gone. . .
