thanks mate. I know, I wish it was a GTI, but I think one turbo car at a time is enough to worry about

cool. Top tickets for someone building up a non-GTI

dont put OEM wheels on it for the love of god. Get some nice aftermarket wheels that are wide with a low offset. Aint nothing like a mk4 with a PHAT stance.

If your not going to have the go have the show i say!!! Make all your effort worth it and set it apart from the crowd. Dont spend you money to make it look like any other 2 bob mk4 with OEM Reps on there!

Looking forward to updates

i agree. its boring as heck when people always mod the same version of a car - i want to read about how soemone brings their pov spec car up to something cool, not just another person putting the same list of mods on a vr6, gti, 4-motion etc. bores the crap outa me.

now for my suggestion - whats to stop you putting a mild cam in it? how about a 2.go? i mean, just because it might not be fast, doesnt mean it cant be fast-ER.

Sounds like fun mate! I'd like to be able to say I've modded my car a bit, but to be honest I've just done heaps of tiny little things that keep me interested - hence my car doesn't deserve a ''build'' thread lol..

I think you'll have fun keeping yourself busy with the golf. The results are awesome, especially when you worked for them yourself!

The thing is though, I don't want it to stand out, I just want it to look like a factory special or something.

I wont be touching the engine, I want to keep it reliable and just pretty much leave it alone in that regard. I don't have any quest to make it quicker, I have an FJ20 Turbo datto 1600 for when I want to go fast

Heaps of little tiny mods definitely deserve a build thread! A good build thread is informative, has lots of photos, should be entertaining, and lets the reader enjoy the journey of your cars progress. It doesn't matter if your mods are big or small, its how you present them that counts

updates soon guys! got a few mod's underway already
