Cheers mate was quite a good read and always a good thing to see more of the cars history. I figured that this was built up for some track events as the coilovers w/ semi slicks are definitely overkill in the grip/handling department for just road use. It's a pity things kept coming up so you didn't get to go to as many events as you would of like :(

We share very similar views on the car, great handling just needs a fair bit more power, all things considered a 1.8t will probably go into this car if all goes to plan in a couple of years :)

Sounds good! I'll then buy it back off you as that's what I always wanted to do haha

Don't laugh, that's what I did with my MK2. I always regretted selling it so when it came on the market 3 years later (and 2 new owners) I bought it back.

No way I'll sell it again.

Cheers

Yeah the only reason I sold it was because I had no where to put it, and hated having it under a car cover. My XR5 is nice, but nothing breaks and the available mods are basic compared to the mk2s :(

Nothing breaks on it?!?!? That must be boring hahaha :p

Just means the turbo isn't big enough. Watch those CVS pop!

Been a bit busy with work and other things to be able to work too much on the golf so not a lot has been updated except for new (hand-me-down) wheels! I bought a new set of wheels + tyres for the Rx7 and decided to put the old set onto the golf. I think they're a nice change from the 14 inch steelies and it means that i removed the steelies/semi slicks while they still had a decent amount of tread so I could sell them or save them for future track days.
Here's a pic:

They're King Wheels Sabeth's 15x6.5 +38 in hyper black with 195/55r15 tyres (which are legally may be ever so slightly too tall in QLD)
I think they look pretty decent, I mean they're not BBS meshies or anything but still look alright, they suit the golf wayy more than they suited the Rx7 anyways

Looks good man.
